Pet owners, beware!

Do you agree that this photo I found at No Ordinary Rollercoaster is cute? I think it's cute, too, but fair warning: the RSPCA (a UK animal rights group) is threatening to have people prosecuted for dressing up their dog. Jo Barr, RSPCA spokeswoman, said that viewing animals as a fashion accessory is "quite humiliating and sends out the wrong message about pet care." On the other hand, the owner of the following pet probably SHOULD be prosecuted: and this poor little thing isn't even wearing clothes. But probably should be. Photo from Reuters Pictures

Oh wow that poor dog! Whoever did this is plain stupid. But RSPCA (whom we have here in Aus too) should look at it in this light... Is the dog/cat happy? If a little dog needs a coat and is happier wearing it than not, then it shouldn't matter. And also, as long as the articles of clothing aren't restrictive, and the dog can walk comfortably without worrying at the clothing, people shouldn't be prosicuted. I suppose it depends on whether or not you're doing it for the dogs sake or your own really. But honestly! This poor dog!!!

Haha the RSPCA would threaten me a lot more if I let my ten and thirteen pound pooches go outside in -20 celsius :)
