Dog Dye

No, this one.

WHAT THE HELL THEY DID TO THAT DOG?!
This IS animal cruelty, nothing less than it.
And the most funny part: there are people who enjoy it. This shit is against the five liberties, which can place the animals on a welfare state.

EDIT: I am refering to Catz’s first post

How is it cruel?

yeah, seriously?
It’s almost exactly like someone dying their hair only for canines… in CHINA

I was honestly asking though. If this is cruel in any way, I’d like to know.

that is cruel because they exposed the dog to public humiliation. Of course, I’m not blamming people who likes to paint their dog’s skin or use too much fragrances, but

dogs have 20 or 40 times more odor receptors on their respiratory system than humans do

dyeings can promote irritation, and (from your side, you think that’s awsome), on this questions, try to see the situation by the dog’s point of view, Burbinator, because I think that you are going to understand what it’s cruel. Sincerely, really.

I don’t know, if it’s done right I’m sure they can do it without any skin irritation. And I’m sure there are dyes that don’t smell too much.

But really, public humiliation? It’s a dog, it’s not self-aware in the same way humans are. It’s not thinking “oh god I’m making a fool out of myself here.”

On the other hand, there are probably dog owners that do treat their dogs poorly, but that hasn’t got much to do with the dyeing itself.

Maybe the tiger dog even has got more chances with the bitches now. :wink:

What would that be?
A diger, a tog?

ROFLMAO! A tog it is! hahahaha!!!

Public humiliation? It is a DOG. He licks his balls in public and eats shit when he gets the urge. Do you honestly think he cares if his fur is brown or purple? No. They dont. None of those dogs in those pictures look humiliated.

So does Tom Cruise!

Hahaha

Tom Cruise.

Maybe we could Dye him?

Yes Catz. They may don’t even care about it. But thing get serious when people paint their dogs and want to atract attention based on how high is the level of stupidity of the treatment gave to their dogs.

The only thing that makes us different from dogs is that we, humans, are the only animals who can enjoy the death of others of our own species. In fact, non-human species are superior to us on other characteristics.

Except you’re giving a human characterization to a dog. Humiliation is a human and only human flaw. Everything else is smart enough to not give a shit.

My opinion is that most of the animals are far superior than humans, and some dogs are much smarter than some humans.

That’s not true, actually. Ranking inside a social group of, for instance, pack hunting animals (primates, wolves, jackals, lions… the list goes on) is generally decided by the strong ones humiliating the weaker ones. To prevent a fight to the death with the alpha male or female, lower ranking members of the group generally self-humiliate themselves by expressing submissive behavior (e.g. wolves rolling on their back, exposing their vulnerable stomach area). This seems to be a common thing among mammals.

That’s not really humiliation in the way Paradoxx means it though. That’s submission more than humiliation.

No, I’m pretty sure the turning-tummy behaviour in packs is meant to demean instead of just express submission. Submission comes through giving space, hiding your excrement, tucking your tail between your legs, and avoiding eye contact. Humiliation is asymmetrically putting yourself in an vulnerable situation.
There’s a difference between kneeling and punching your groin upon entering the court of the crimson king.

But dogs don’t discriminate by colour, they’re colourblind anyway aren’t they? There’s no way to make a pattern embarassing to a dog, hell tiger stripes or giraffe spots all look natural (and even if you painted a cock on the beast, it wouldn’t recognize it as that), so the dye is utterly harmless.

I know my dog is smarter than the average Forum-Roach.

No, the turning-tummy behaviour as you call it is submission. If they don’t behave like that the alpha dog would probably interpret it as a challenge.

Remember, humiliation is an emotion. That’s not to say that dogs don’t have any emotions, but to actually feel humiliated you have to be very self-conscious and have a great sense of self.
