Let’s Talk: Is this animal cruelty or just plain fun?

A video has surfaced on the internet showing a pet groomers shaving cats and dogs to turn them into “art”.

One cat was shown to be held down to be shaven into a dinosaur while some dogs had teddy bears, lions and words carved into their hair.

While the groomers seemed to be concentrating on their “art”, the poor pets looked like they had no idea why they had to wait for such a long time to be groomed.

The cat, presumably Persian, which was shaven to look like a dinosaur, look extremely terrified throughout the entire time.

The owners looked pleased with how their pets turn out but this video has sparked outrage with animal lovers calling this an act of cruelty.

Some people think it’s okay to do this as long as the animals are not in pain but some are saying that turning animals into objects, even art, is unethical.

Just look at these pets being “groomed”…

Would you ever do this to your pet?
