This may sound weird but I have always taught my kids and my grand kids never to laugh at or make fun of an animal. Pet's know when they are being disrespected. I don't mean you can't laugh when you are playing with them but to make them an object of a sick sense of humor is wrong. It is for the owners enjoyment not the dog's and that is what bothers me. Owners are already making irresponsible decisions about their pets. This is just one more step. |
Well, everything you say is absolutely true. With people's parts, they use ice and cutting off the blood to help pain when puncturing skin, but what do they do with poor doggies? Stick ice on its little nose for 15 minutes or a clothes pin?
Got to be grueling for the animal to go through those grooming/painting/dying sessions and I do agree they know when being objectified and laughed at or look really silly - they pick that right up from us. And many people are too human not to scold and ""bark at their animals when they act up after lying or standing for hours being groomed like that.
Wish people would spend the time training them or working or playing with them, teaching them agility, taking a nice long walk instead. Even if you talked nonstop to the dog during those sessions, kissed it every 5 minutes, it's just got to get boring. He'd probably rather be chasing his ball. It's all about the people I imagine with that kind of grooming. And with that piercing, that's just cruel.
