Hmm, I have mixed feelings here. There is nothing wrong with dyeing her poodle pink for a cause, especially since she is using dyes that are safe for the pup. I don't really have anything against it. And I understand the city's reason for the ordinance is to protect animals from people who don't know what they are doing or are doing it for the wrong reasons. I do think that their time and energy can probably be put to better use pursuing people who are actually causing harm to others. But, on the other hand, she has been told on previous occasions to stop, and she has made an informed decision to continue to dye and place her dog on display. So I guess I can't get too worked up about the fine. She had a chance to avoid it and decided that doing things her way were more important. That is the price she pays for making that decision. That is $1,000.00 that could have gone to cancer research, but now will go to the city.
