my vet used to tattoo little symbols to show that the cat was spayed or neutered but full on body art is a bit extreme.

I am continually amazed at the depth the "human" can dig down to. Russia? Big surprise! NOT!

I think this, as well as Tattoos for identification, is a lot different. Those types of tattoos literally take seconds to complete. Plus, that cat is already under anesthesia for the spay/ neuter. But to get your pet tattooed, for a 3 HOUR procedure is seriously inhumane!!!!!! :mad:

I hope this article is pure farce and that tattoo is photoshopped. If not, I can't fathom such cruelty!:(

That is just horrible, not to mention the pain the cat had to wake up in. I have tattoos but that's my choice and like the article said the cat didn't have a choice and that's animal cruelty.

Poor thing.

I actually came across this months ago, but wasn't very active here at the time.
Just wanted to let ya'll know we (modded people)care about other things besides tattoos and piercings:D

PS. Ignore the stupid people, there are always a few people who like to stir up trouble.
