Seeing this has pretty much turned into a thread for dying animals in general (No idea why I initially posted it in Take Action anyway, though I'm still not really sure where else this should go ;p) I thought I might as well change the title to reflect to those changes. Discuss dying animals in unnatural colours and the like here.

Original post (Dyed Dogs)

So, there is a dyed fish thread, but people in China (and probably other countries) actually dye dogs as well.

Your opinions on this? I find it ridiculous, to be honest. Sure, it looks pretty, but like the article states, you shouldn't do it if it might be harmful to your dog.

Yes; the panda dog as shown in the article does look adorable, I admit, but I wouldn't do that to my dog or cat. I'd grow to love it as it is, rather than dying it with the risk of blood poisoning and a shorter life span. Each pet is unique already, so there is no need to dye it.

Perhaps it would be fun to Photoshop pictures of your pet, without dying them. :3

Yeah, I believe I've seen that one too. There are also a few shows I've seen (pet rescue) that has taken in these animals, who have been intoxicated by said products.
However, I don't really think they know that it's toxic to the animal, I believe that on these shows some have said that it isn't toxic to animals, ect. Unless I am thinking about a different product for the "isn't toxic" part.

Aside from that, it's again a bit disturbing with this matter. Dying animals is just, disturbing...

Please be sure your comment does not turn the discussion into a "humans are bad save the animals" rant, thank you.

And well at least dogs have humane rights unlike some fish and reptiles!!
But it's still wrong and so cruel

Please do not doublepost, blackscar, use the edit button to add something on your previous post instead.

...I'm completely against this. Not only is it idiotic, but it can also be dangerous to the dog.

It's almost at the same level as carrying a dog around all the time, or putting clothes on it.

its just wrong but it does look stange but wouldent it have like some sort of healt risks im just saying
