PA pet groomer and "gothic kittens"

[lizbud]

Disgusting. The difference between piercing humans and piercing kittens is that the humans can make the choice to get pierced and inflict pain on themselves. Idiot.

I agree. What a crazy thing to do.

This is part of her story. Quote: " When I did it, it wasn't with any cruel intentions" She said. "They were definitely loved, well fed, no fleas, clipped nails, and they were happy". My question is, "if they were loved so much, why go ahead and torture these poor, innocent kittens?"

The people who BOUGHT these kittens from her must be real prizes too.

I think this is awful, though I feel similar on ear cropping for dogs. It's cosmetic, and the animal has no choice. It's all for what people prefer as a look.

Agreed. And cropped ears take a lot longer to heal and are more painful than a pierced ear, I'm sure.

Whereas this seems unusual and cruel...I don't see this any differently than ear cropping. Its still altering the appearance of the animal needlessly, and painfully. If this woman is going to get raked over the coals for this, I think further evaluation of the practices of ear and tail cropping is in order.

Can I be topical for a second?

I do not approve of any cropping, tattoos or mutilation of animals.


Once I was sitting with a cat who's owner was nearby. I commented on the 'tear' the animal had on it's ear.

I wa informed that the 'tear' was put there to identify a feral cat who was neutered/fixed.

Now, this gal was an idiot to do this to these poor animals, but is it any different than marking ferals?


Not to be a smart arse, just wondering!
