People amaze me.. Update

I have been trying to talk my drake, Hugo, into letting me tattoo "Mom" in a heart on his wing. But he just won't have it.

I've never seen that kind of tattoo animal, but I would imagine it was anesthetized. Can't imagine a dog sitting still for that, and that's certainly not something I would do. Definitely for "selfish human entertainment".

Dyeing....now that's on the fun side of "selfish human entertainment" that is more harmless.

Tattoos are expensive...where do people get so much extra cash that tattooing the dog is even a consideration?

This is what makes us all so very different.

Probably doesn't cost more than a regular tattoo for a human.

My mellow cat Tonks was given a 'spa day' that included a bath with sugar free koolaid

This is her just chilling in the warm water bath. She looks like a gremlin, but she wasn't upset at all. Poured cups of water gently over her head while shielding her eyes and ears.

Post spa kitty massage, she went limp with bliss

Getting blowdried (she smelled like berries!)

All dry!

Haven't you seen baby chicks at Easter that are all different colors? They are all dyed. Now I think that is wrong.

Have anyone here seen the photos of the painted/dyed cats? I would never do it to my cats, they would freak. And from what I could find it cost $15,000 a shot and needs to be redone every three months.

Those photos are doctored and from a spoof book:
http://www.snopes.com/photos/arts/paintedcats.asp

I haven't found a reason yet to get upset about dyed chickens or dogs in tutus. Would I do it? No. Do I feel the animals are always considered in the decision? No. But, it certainly doesn't smack of cruelty to me.

Don't believe everything you read on snopes.com. I am not saying those photos are or aren't doctored. But I have seen snopes make mistakes before, but I can't remember what it was, it was a couple of years ago. But I can believe that people would dye their cats (and other animals) like that.
