This is one of those laws that needs to be more specific and discriminate between humane and inhumane cases. I color Autumn for the Bark in the Park fund raiser walk. Wallace had a mohawk this summer we were thinking of coloring blue (just temporary color). Since the lady was warned, she shouldn't have dyed the dog, but honestly I think they shouldn't be using so many resources preventing a dye job on a dog who's probably never been ill-treated in its life. They should be concentrating on real cruelty cases.
