Pet grooming is getting weird

It's art, guys.

Horrifying, bewildering art.

I consider dying your pet animal abuse. That's just horrifying. For some breeds trimming is necessary and there are guidelines on what they should look like trimmed.
 
We currently pay £40 (each) of our dogs for just a haircut...... I pay £10 for my own for perspective.

Next month we are going to just try and use a shaver to save money as we don't do anything weird... just want it short!
 
God damn, poor dogs.

I have a mini poodle, and the most I do is shave him down during the summer (keep the afro and the poofy tail), and then a light trim during the winter to keep his curls from going nuts.
 
if you really cared why wouldn't you PM a mod and inform them of this racism?

I made a comment in the past and got banned for "hand waving".

I've seen enough

Maybe I'll get banned here for saying that, but I've seen enough in the off topic section.

I just feel it's non-productive to allow people to just call out specific races. It should fly each way, regardless of race.

To act like only white people treat their dogs ridiculously like shown that video is absurd. I've seen many people treat animals like they were their own children.


Edit - I really don't want it to go further than these comments. I won't respond beyond this.

I just want to see consistency here. Do that and I'm fine. I think everyone is deserved of that.
 
The only thing I put on my little girl is a pretty pink collar.

With bells on it to stop her killing every small animal she comes across.

Cleaning marsupial entrails off the deck is not a fun morning activity.
 
I don't see how that's enjoyable for the pets. They really should just be given normal treatments.

Yeah poor white people, getting little joke jabs like that. Next they won't be given special preference in everything in the entire world or something!

Yeah, it's okay to make jabs only at white people. This truly furthers progress...

I rest my case.

Stop this mindset on all side and progress will be made.

We are on the same side.
 
It's futile mate. It's been a trend lately.

Don't even bother.

True, but it still isn't right, especially considering what many in GAF seem to advocate for.

They are fighting against that they want.

I just don't understand it, but I'll leave it alone.

You do that, I'm telling you it's futile. Better do something else.
 
This is okay on GAF...

Just imagine this comment was made with a different race.

Completely different response.

One joke about white people is meant to be measured as a sign of racial progress?

I don't think it's abusive unless your dog hates water/ the groomers/ being handled etc. lots of people also use chalk or vegetable based dyes to colour change their dogs. It's not a necessary practice by any means but is not harmful unless the animal is upset by your actions. Similarly nail polish and bows etc aren't a problem unless getting them on the dog distresses them in which case of course your pet's happiness is more important than fashion.


A well styled poodle as seen below is a gorgeous animal, I'm not a big fan over the creative cuts for competitions as pictured earlier though. It shows what you can do with their versatile coat but it's not exactly a look people keep on their dogs for weeks after the competitions are over.

It's a jab at how white people tend to be rather privileged and dominate the culture of wealth, so they tend to have enough free time and money to spend on stupid things. It's similar to joking about how white girls love starbucks, pumpkin spice and ugg boots. It's barely an insult when it's punching up, and it doesn't really perpetuate any harmful stereotypes about white people aside from "look, they're rich enough or have enough free time to do kooky shit".

Idk, it's really weird to see you dwell on this. But whatever.

That dog getting massaged by the pillow is disgustingly cute.
