I, sincerely, hold the view that dressing cats and dogs (even monkeys) borders on animal abuse. Though, admittedly in some instances, some costumes can be quite humorous, cute or adoring. Just like some humans do when dressed in animal furs or skins. Does not justify the practice.
Also, don’t get me going on about ‘hunters with their AK-47 style rifles who claim it is ‘sport-hunting‘. Like sport-fishing catch-and-release?
How about giving the animals a sporting chance with some humans-animals cage-matches? The Romans simply perverted the concept of Sport with their gladiatorial spectacles. So, how about calling hunting hunting with an AK-style gun the more descriptive name Blood-sporting?
I also believe that domesticated animals (pets) are better suited for outdoor life, cats and dogs especially. Modern life and urban living, obviously, put that idea in the realm of wishful-thinking for most of us.
It is like Fresh meat‘ is a Value-added at the grocery store. When, in fact, that meat has been slaughtered and prepped for sale and consumption days beforehand. Or fresh fish that is caught, placed on ice, flown or driven inland (for hours or days) before appearing on display shelves at the store – ‘Freshly presented, Not freshly caught or harvested”. Just fresh from the store shelves to your table, perhaps?
Additionally, Genetically Modified Animals created as Pets, to satisfy selfish impulses and desires of humans, ought to be outlawed! What next, Genetically Modified Babies? Wait … what, they already do?
Genetically modified plants, animals and ‘things‘ for human consumption anyone? Take the ‘beyond meats that are beyond belief and beyond compare. To some, it is food – which is what they make of it. So, to each their own.
