The absurd fashion of transforming cats and dogs into zebras and lions, with nail polish and glitter

Nails painted or with glitter, brightly colored fur, with polka dots or leopard spots. Dogs and cats transformed into freak phenomena, made up and decorated as if they were soft toys. Look at this video and these pictures, you can't help but think that this too is a form of mistreatment.

In America there is an animal salon that, in addition to providing useful grooming services, offers a very special one, namely that of transforming your dog or cat into a zebra, lion, leopard and so on. Obviously, for the owners, distorting the color of the fur of the 4-legged friend for their own personal taste is completely normal.

“Add some color or creative designs on your dog or cat. Katrina's Pet Salon is the only place where you will get the best quality of creative art! It is fun and captivating. Pets love this kind of attention ”, reads the website of the Animal Show (???).

So in summary, according to Katrina's Pet Salon, painting the dog's nails, shearing the cat and coloring it fuchsia, dressing it up like a Christmas tree, would be a gesture that animals appreciate, because it testifies to the love that the owner has towards them.

And it increases: ours is not just a job, but a passion.

Certainly on a technical level, the materials used will not be toxic to animals, they will not contain alcohol or ammonia, but here what we dispute is not the fact that they are harmful. We dispute the very nature of the service. Why turn your dog into a zebra and your cat into a rainbow? Perhaps to arouse amazement? Admiration? Out of vanity?

To us these images bring only so much sadness, because these mode who humanize animals and make them foolish, certainly do not respect their well-being, nor their needs. The services are varied and range from $ 5 up to $ 100. It all depends on whether you choose a semi-permanent color, a 2d design, if you apply stones or jewels or matched glitter or rhinestones.

Scrolling gives the impression that you are talking about toys and not of living beings.

And demonstration is this video:

“There are people who knowingly abuse animals: some do it for profit, others for fun. And there are people who mistreat animals without realizing it: the majority do it out of ignorance, the rest out of vanity, ”writes Animal Rights Justice.

We cannot disagree but we must note that, judging by the followers of the show, this trend is becoming increasingly popular, at least in America.

“To love an animal means to respect it. People who feel the need to have a cute little object to cuddle, decorate and make up should have the good taste of getting a stuffed animal, rather than a living being to be subjected to their own mediocrity ”, continues the post.
