We’ve all seen or even know people who are addicted to body modification - from multiple piercings to tattoos and much more. But it seems some folks are taking this trend much too far and inflicting it on their pets. You can find everything from people who paint their cats, to those who pierce their fish and tattoo their dogs. If body modification is a form of self-expression then shouldn’t the decision to get a tattoo or a piercing be left with the individual? Even when it comes to our pets?

Giving a dog or cat a pierced ear or nose is all the rage today in certain circles today. I've seen pictures of pit bulls with multiple piercings, including lips, eyebrows and cheeks. For a human with these body ornaments, that's fine. We know how to take care of them, not to scratch with our toenails or to get our earrings caught in a fence. Animals will only learn the lesson when the piercing is pulled violently out of their flesh by accident. Oh, did I mention that some aquarium owners have pierced their fish?? Recent legislation in some parts of the world are seeking to put an end to the unnecessary body art and physical alteration of pets. However, I find it unfortunate that a law has to be made to prevent an animal from being treated with cruelty. (bmezine)
