pointer28 1 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Well, what do you guys think of this? I've seen this somewhere and there was a lot of comments regarding the cruelty aspect of this. Bear in mind that this is already a hairless cat and was anaesthetised for the actual tattooing. So, is this an unnecessary cruelty which serves no purpose other than to make it a talking point for the owner, or is it far less cruel than the thousands of pedigree mutts purposely bred each year with inherent hereditary faults? Me, I wouldn't personally do it to an animal but when you think of the pedigree KC debacle it brings a new perspective to it and I would much rather have my cat tattooed than purposely and knowingly breed a dog that will have to live with a serious disability for it's entire life and maybe have a miserable existence because of it. After all, the cat will recover from the tattoo in a few days and will live a normal life after that whereas the poor Cavalier King Charles (or whatever) will have to suffer epilepsy and severe pain because it's skull isn't big enough for it's brain.

ssssh1forthepot 0 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 Are you sure that is real and not just photo shopped? I cant imagine any tattoo artist doing that but I may be wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fireman 10,774 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'd say it's a fake,you'd have to put the cat out to tattoo it and i don't know many tattooing vets myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pointer28 1 Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 I can only take the word of the source of the picture, obviously I can't guarantee 100% that it's real, but I personally believe that it is. As already stated the cat was anaesthetised for the procedure and tattooed by a tattoo artist and not by a vet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
