Naw dude, this is up there with dying your 5 your old kids hair fuschia. Ya just dont do it.
I dont like it either.
Artemis
My girls are 4 yrs old and want their hair pink, purple and green. Considering that my hair is blue I really dont' care if my girls want fun colors in their hair. Currently we use colored hair spray but I dont' see a problem with changing a childs hair color if they want it done for the right reason.

People are idiots....
That is arguably a form of animal cruelty also.

If i ever saw someone do this to an animal, i would really dislike it!!! It's a good think it's nothing permanent, thought... If it was, i would feel like pushing a red hot iron in the guy's back, just to see... Of course, i don't think i would win in Court... hehe.

Have any of the people talking garbage about animal cruelty ever worked with poodles before? They love that stuff!!! I think it looks stupid and I don't like poodles but don't go running your mouth when you don't know what you're talking about. The products profesionals use are complelty harmless to the dogs also.

I agree with leviathan,
the dog doesnt look that un happy lol,
however i can deffinly see where you guys are comming from about animal cruelty. Considering the fact the dog cannot choose the option of being subjected to that.
Its basically the extreme of putting pig tails in ur dogs fur. They do not have the choice of having that there, how do you know they like or dislike it?, Its all in how you look at the situation

When a new breed of dog comes around thats multi-colored I wont mind but anything man made that is forced onto the dog is wrong.
You wouldnt dye your babies hair pink or green so why do it to a dog? Does the fact that it cant speak to you mean it likes to look like a clown?
Stupid IMO...
I love it!!! I love poodles and I especially love ones with the balls cut into the hair...Its good to see someone who puts that much effort into their pets instead of letting them walk around stinky and matted....I think neglect is crule, not attention.....that is addorable.

Nita- true that, mine is obsessed with the glittery hairspray, and Ive let her use temporary stuff. But there is a big difference in doing it temporary and doing it permanent! That I think is wrong. And whatever is on that dog doesnt look like it will wash off.

well its obviosly animal safe dye, and the dog probably doesnt care what color it is, so I dont think its cruel at all, It looks stupid but I have to disagree with the people who think its mean/cruel
Even if it was something permanent I would do it. It is hair if they dont' like it they can change it. As for the dog, I don't think it really cares and it isn't harming the dog. A while back though a kitten was brought in by the SPCA here that had had its ears pierced a whole lot and the owners were charged with animal cruelty. I suppose since I did my girls' ears when they were 6 months and unable to request it that is considered cruel too, mind you I wouldn't do that to a cat either.

creuelty is that the dog lives with someone who actually likes that!!! Bah poodles are stupid and by the fact he seems mighty pleased, I doubt it cares. I agree that that animal is not likely being treated badly (poor taste and ridicule aside) face it anyone who'd spend the cash to have the dog look like the love child of a giant poodle and bozo the clowns left leg is probably treating the dog pretty good health wise.

I don't know what the big problem is being a baby and having permenant unnatural colors in your hair is. But ever since I saw this one guy way back when I was 3 I asked for green hair and got it permenant. Theres not a thing wrong with me "*_0/ Any ways, if the dog is not affected in any emotional, or physical way it should be fine. The dog looks pretty pimp. I would say better then ole britney her self.

Personally (and I mean personally :) ) I think that poodles are good for...lol...but that one you may...what the hell WOULD you do with that thing??? lol
You know what, all you guys say it's cruel and mean and this and that.
But think about this. Anyone willing to spend that much on a dye job for a dog, most likely spoils the dog beyond belief. Which means that dog is probably getting 100% better treatment than about a billion dogs in the world tonight.
It's just hair.

Wow, that is just hideous! I don't necessarily think I'd consider it an act of animal cruelty, although in my opinion it's pathetic, not to mention the fact that it looks looks extremely ugly!
I think its ridiculous when people buy their dogs (and other pets) things like glasses, hats and other needless accessories/clothing.
Animals are not toys! If you wanna dress something up, get a doll.
Just my honest oppinion.
Haha
you guys are so funny some times - dying a dogs hair is cruelty but captive breeding reptiles and keeping them in stacked rubbermaid is fine and dandy -
Go out and find something relivent to complain about

You said it yourself. Captive reptiles.
How would a captive bread snake miss what he never knew. Most snakes such as ball pythons dont leave their hide spot in the wild unless they are in search of food. Many people that keep snakes and other reptiles also breed them which in return helps populate the market with new blood thus insuring the future for many reptiles found today.
Now tell me the the point and or benefits of changing a dog into a clown?

Declawing - cruel
Tail docking - cruel
Ear cropping - cruel
Defanging - cruel
Dying fur - stupid, but hardly cruel.
The dog probably doesn't even know or even care that her fur is dyed. She probably wagged her tail through the while procedure. The cruelest part was the trimming of her fur into those stupid shapes and that is something that is done by many dog owners anyway. I would call it cruel if the procedure involved extended suffering and I really doubt it did.
ydnic does have a point. Just because an animal only knows a plastic box as a home doesn't mean it's necessarily fair. I wouldn't call it cruel but it is much worse than painting a dog stupid colours.
Some of the benefits of dying dogs is that is shows off the breed at shows, it garners interest in dog shows and generates money. It allows breeders of poodles to populate the market with new blood for all those wackos that feel like getting a poodle to dye for themselves.
I used to stick tape on the bottom of my cat's feet when I was a kid. THAT was cruel - but really funny.
tell me the point or benifit of captive breeding reptiles?
I fed my cat those pop candies - cruel but also quite funny
You seriously do not know the point or benefit of breeding captive reptiles?!?!
For one, private breeders have saved nearly extinct species, learned priceless information that lead to saving others, and providing a new better source for snakes instead of wild caughts in most cases......it has done AMAZING things for reptiles on a whole.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a weiner!
You need to read a book. Wait. You should probably learn to read first, then work your way up. The benefits of captive breeding reptiles will come to you. Just give it time. Precious time.
yes - thank you - as soon as I learn to read I might actually do that, as of now i`ve only learned to type.
Marisa of coarse I know these things, however, thank you for pointing them out because others may not.
All I was getting at is the fact that Hooter had said "Many people that keep snakes and other reptiles also breed them which in return helps populate the market with new blood thus insuring the future for many reptiles found today." And seriously if hooter believes that these are the primary reasons- like flooding a market for every inexperianced person to run out on a whim and pick up a snake for reasons like they saw it on T.V. and it was cool - I find it strange that hooter would think this fine but on the other hand feel that coloring a dogs hair is cruel
Anyways I was actually wondering what hooters idea behind the point of captive breeding reptiles was
Either way I don`t really think either is cruel - to each their own -
ydnic ,
I think I was clear enough when i explained the points of captive breeding. You on the other hand have yet to tell me the point of coloring a dogs hair to resemble a clown.
And just to answer your question or statment as of how does *flooding a market for every inexperianced person to run out on a whim and pick up a snake* Well let me explain a little how this works:
Someone gets a snake from a pet store and then he feels he should get another snake after his love for snakes or reptiles in general grows larger. He soon finds himself with a huge collection and starts to pair up for breeding. This person is now apart of reptile forums and is apart of his local Herpetological Society. He loves his snakes so much he decides to donate to snake conservation groups and helps all he can to protect endangered reptiles. He helps teach to anyone wanting to learn about reptiles such as schools and other community events.
This, all from one boy who walked into a pet store and bought himself a corn snake many years ago. Dont tell me that cant happen because that boy was me.
*sniff* Real touching...and if what you say id true then my statement wasn`t really regarding you was it?
As for a dog with its hair colored whether it was to resemble a clown, a punk, or a mailman - I don`t really know the point because I don`t do it. I do know that in my city people do things like that and bring them to childrens hospitals and it does bring a smile to the childrens faces *sniff*- however WHO CARES?!
I don`t see why people get so worked up over such ridiculous things -
and its funny how an entertaining picture of a little dog with a hair cut got a three page thread on a forum

Hahaha, Im not worked up over it or anything. Im not losing any sleep over the multi colored poodle. I still don't think its right. Maybe not cruel, true, but I am entitled to think it isnt a very good idea. Its like injecting dye into neon tetras. (although that I think is cruel, and can significantly shorten the life of the fish)
All that aside, though, I ultimately conclude what I always conclude. To each his own ;)

The dog looks like a dang fire cracker for the 4th of July.
Man, I have never seen an animal with that much pampering. Least dogs are color blind. If I was a dog and I saw myself looking like a clown, I'd shoot myself.
...makes me think of that movie 'Best in Show' ---I think the hair coloring is a scream! And those very pampered dogs could care less -- hey! they're probably living better than I am! The dye they use is vegetable based and harmless.
I don't believe coloring the fur of the dog could be considered. Possibly degrading, but I'm sure the dog doesn't realize it.
Now :<a href="http://www.molokosynthemesc.com/search/srch2004.exe?pic=pierce/11-surface/A40512/high/tattoobyhikmet2.jpg&tsect=pierce/11-surface/animal001.html&desc=Tattooed+dog+by+Niko%27s+Body+Decoration%2C+N orth+Cyprus%3Cbr%3E%3Cfont+size%3D-1%3ENOTE%3A+BME+does+not+condone+this%2C+so+please +don%27t+complain+to+us+about+it.+If+you+don%27t+l ike+it%2C+urge+your+local+health+board+to+ban+pier cing+and+tattooing+animals.">this is abuse</a>. In a tattoo mag once I saw a girl at a convention with some small dog almost overed in tattoos. -That's- wrong.
The caption at the bottom that was there when I viewed the page seems to not work with the link I set up.
It reads:<B>Tattooed dog by Niko's Body Decoration, North Cyprus
NOTE: BME does not condone this, so please don't complain to us about it. If you don't like it, urge your local health board to ban piercing and tattooing animals.</B>

Actually, this is what people want to believe... The fact is that if those species are endangered it's cause we caught all of them or destroyed their habitat... It's fun to see how people like to think we are god and try to save the planet from extinction without ever questionning why it is this way in the 1st place...
If you raise an animal in captivity, it will not be suitable to release it in the wild, so you are not saving the species but condoning it to a life in a prison...
excellent point Siretsap.....
