They only look like baby pandas.
These little bundles of joy are actually chow chow dogs that have been dyed black-and-white to look like pandas.
Dyeing pets has been a trend in pet pampering for quite some time. At last summer's Pets Show Taipei, there was a fierce dog-dyeing competition. Check out photos.
But dyeing your pets to look like other wild animals is a more recent development.
The trend demonstrates how quickly and dramatically attitudes toward pets — particularly dogs — have changed in many parts of Asia.
Read: Can China censor its leading artists, Ai Weiwei?
In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose. Traditional Chinese medicine held that so-called "fragrant meat" from dogs could fortify one's health.
Now, eating dog is viewed by many as an embarrassing reminder of a poorer time.
With more money to spend, newly wealthy Chinese have embraced dog-owning culture with a vengeance. Dogs are brought into restaurants, fussed over in public, dressed up in ridiculous outfits and dyed to look like ferocious tigers.
Panda or chow chow? Tiger or retriever? You be the judge:
People take the dogs which were painted as baby giant pandas and tigers out during the launch of a new pet park at Dahe Mincui Park on June 5, 2010 in Zhengzhou, Henan Province of China.

If you did that in the USofA, you'd get arrested for animal abuse!
Then, we had better be prepared to arrest all of the beauticians in America. At least 25% of the american public engages in this barbaric hair/fur dying ritual....let's get real people.
People have a choice. Dogs don't!
Sobaka, and people care how they look and dogs don't. I think I dog is going to be real upset having to go through an hour or so of rubbing and attention to get dyed.
Just b/c we choose to put ourselves thru the process doesn't mean we have the right to inflict it on others. Animals and children should be off-limits to this sort of thing. I'm sure dyeing the fur around an animal's eyes is painful and scary. It's just wrong.
Goodness! Hope this craze would grasp Europe.I like my tabby as it is!

You must have a horrible mother. I always liked getting my face painted for halloween. But, my mom was a good mom. If it was painful for you, you should have asked her to stop slapping you in between applications.
Do dogs have a choice not to live with their owner? Why are dogs on leash in the U.S.A? That's animal cruelty too. We should let dogs do whatever they want to do, including eating American babies. LOL.
Clearly we need to stop this terrible practice. I propose we just nuke the Chinese babies to prevent it from happening in the future. We should also kill the puppies so they don't get dyed with this toxic stuff. Problem. Solved.
I don't really understand why everyone's fretting about how this practice might endanger dogs' health when we people (yes, animals as well) have been mutilating our bodies for ages. In far more brutal ways.
A lot of the naysayers commenting around here are clearly more eager to poke fun at the Chinese people with passé stereotypes than to question their own hygienic/cosmetic practices or those of pet owners. These opportunities seem to rise all to often these days, as reality is on the rise–face it, bigots.
Here in Canada, as in America as well I understand, people do many questionable things with their pets. Doggie sweaters, invisible electric collars, and much other weirdness. Leona Helmsley's millionaire pooch. I'm a pet owner, a proud cat and dog owner. I personally prefer to allow Dreamer and Dex to run free in their birthday suits. I don't mind people's being creative with pets; it's not new.
Can't people just keep racism out of it, though?
Lets put it clear, After centuries look upon as food. Not as companions added family member and protector of there homes, . Its about time. If I was a dog dye away{ Green } If you want , Just dont return me back to being one of your food sores.
Dolphins and whales are very intelligent creatures, possibly even smarter than mentally retarded humans, and they don't have a choice on how they want to live. Their habitat are constantly destroyed by human; they are hunted, and they are held captive in zoos! They don't have a choice either so this isn't just a single problem caused by a single country, China. Humans, that's the problem. They are evil creatures that ruin every aspect of life. Anyway, cats and dog were once wild species before being domesticated. People do not speak the language of cats and dog. How do HUMANS know that they, the pets themselves, want to be kept as a pet? THIS IS THE TRUTH. HUMANS LOOK DOWN UPON ANIMALS, AND BECAUSE OF THAT, ANIMALS WILL NEVER HAVE CHOICES!
@LttlGTO, 25% of Americans engage in fur dying? Where did you get this percentage? Has anyone else reading this article ever seen a pet that has been dyed in their day-to-day life, besides on TV? I'm pretty observant, am quite social, work for the public, and really like animals, but even with all of that, I've never seen this is real life.
I just gave my dog a nose job and face lift and she's preening herself in front of the mirror
Dyeing a dog is bad. Killing a cow after milking for whatever it's worth is okay. Modern white logic.
@Truth --Do you have pets???
If it were not for us evil humans....The Dogs and Cats we adore and love today ,would not even exist! Humans bred down Wolves and smaller wild cats like Serval's ....so do some research before you just spew out some ridiculousness!!! Do you think there were Labs, Retrievers, Westies, Schnauzers, Calico, Tortuous shell, Long Greys or Scottish Fold Cats just romping around in the wild EVER??? No...they would not survive! 99% of pet owners love and care for very well their pets and then you have the 1%, like anything that is Bad, Evil etc.....This is also the case in nature....there are animals that have a natural tendency to not follow the instinct inclined to the majority and are plauged with mental illness, disease etc..that cause them to kill fellow pack members for not "natural" reason. All living creatures can be flawed! Do you think for a minute that a dog that gets "dyed" would rather be running wild out in nature...staring to death, freezing, wet, and struggling just to survive everyday? Or be loved and fawned over with attention and affection and well taken care of???? As for the dying process which I have done mannnny times....I can assure you that alot of dogs just drift off to sleep or try and give you kisses while you are softly stroking their faces and giving them massages...THEY FRIGGEN LOVE IT!!!! So get off your High Horse and until you have actually experienced something.....seen the result...and then you can judge!!!
HA.. you're an idiot.
Apparently you are ignorant of this animal cruelty law, it may seem harmless or even a stupid law but none the less American animal lovers reign on this one...
Whoever leash the dogs should be sentenced to wear a leash for life.
Beauticians are CONSENSUAL!!! Animals have no choice. They cannot consent. Get real China.
its just a animal get over it u peta libral idiots
You are correct Sobaka, they do not have the choice to make themsleves look awesome. We take care of that for them.
Offensive post in 3...2...1... Well at least they aren't eating the dogs!
They use a non-toxic vegetable-based dye. It doesn't hurt the dog at all.
No, it happens all the time, and there are dyes safe for animals.
Sorry , But the dye they are using on those dog is not doggie dye , I am a pet groomer and doggie dye can't put that deep a color on dogs .they are useing chow dogs above ,no way is dog dye going to take a black or red chow and turn there fur white.
Cheryl:
And how is it that you could absolutely know that there are dyes out there that CAN'T do exactly what you're saying is impossible?
Oops...sorry, was that too many double negatives for you in one sentence? Your bad grammar just makes you sound...DURF.
They can't make safe baby formula, dog food or drywall in China, wouldn't bet a $1 that this dye is safe either.
To Cheryl: Chows can be fawn and cream colored, too.
@Tim, you CANNOT do it. You think if it was humanly possible to get hair that white all girls would not look like Gwen Stefani?? You are a moron. The reason its difficult is because that kind of dye is ILLEGAL because it would take toxic amounts. Are you really that stupid that you chose THIS to be your platform to prove it?
I think this is creative. When you are talking manipulating animals, zoo is a big mistake. When British invented zoo, this was a big mistake. Only the invention of zoo, so comes all kinds of manipulation of animals , or even abuse, including circus.
@cheryl You call yourself a groomer when you don't even know that chow dogs can be white colored.... What a hypocrite!
Great blond moment there!
Cheryl is absolutely right. It is hard to color dogs (especially with black color) without using harsh dyes. I would NOT want that stuff around my eyes. But what's a little dyes when groomers are bleaching black dogs too. It started in the show ring with bleaching out stains on white dogs, now they are bleaching out over half the dog. You should see some of the pictures I have seen on Facebook. Next they will be piercing their ears. Sometimes I'm ashamed to be a groomer.
Last time I checked people are still cutting the tails of their dogs and declawing their cats. Painting is no that big of a deal.
Lol @ the chinese. Firstly for their incredibly obvious posters named jack, ted, fred, tom, susie and other stereotypical american names. No one gives a crap about you dyeing animals. so you can save your knee jerk crybaby defensive reaction to this article. but your guilt ridden responses are hilarious.
If there is something we do care about, its how you kill animals that are used for fur or food. your cruelty in that department knows no bound. So hopefully these cute pets will make you appreciate animals more and give you a better sense of empathy
keep up the improvments.
You're a sad little man Jdg...
Agree with tommas & c2
LOL @ jdg, you really are a sad little man
Wow, American's don't seem to be able to comment on any matter, no matter how small, without spouting hatred and violent abuse.
These dogs look ridiculous and for that reason I hope this stops. But it is at the end of the day, an aesthetic. The dogs themselves unless in pain are not going to be bothered one way or the other. Let's not forget that these dogs have been bred by humans (often to the detriment of their genetic health) to look in a certain way anyway. How many wolves have you seen bringing down prey, all looking like King Charles Spaniels? In fact, Americans more than others, mutilate their pets for their own taste or convenience. De-clawing a cat is common in the US – though banned as an act of barbarism in the UK – because it involves not only removing claws, but removing digits. It causes a high level of stress to the cat.
Someone made the point, before being abused by his fellow Americans, that in China, animals are treated in incredibly cruel ways and that maybe, if this makes people start to regard animals as something to look after, it might reduce their cultural trend towards violence against non-human animals. On balance this is not something to get excited about unless there is evidence that this is causing the pets harm. That evidence is not presented in this story however.
AMEN Tommas!!!! as well as cropping ears.
Yet US is the only place I see where dog's tails are cut off. At first I though cause there is a special bread of dogs in American, then I found out the truth....
I agree...the AKC sets standards on the 'correct' length for docked tails and ears which seems nutty to me.
I always wondered what would happen if you asked a Doberman breeder to give you a registered puppy with floppy ears and a normal length tail. Would they do it?
actually people cut dog tails and crop ears all over the world. and it IS beneficial to some dogs like for example the jack russel terrier. Because they jump so much they tend to break their tails a lot. The cutting of the tail is meant to avoid future accidents.
That's the same thing as you removing your tonsils or wisdom teeth.
Tail docking and ear clipping are barbaric. There are some hunting breeds, however, such as the Vizsla, whose tail wags a lot through the brush while hunting that the tail often breaks and has to be docked anyway. If you have one of these types of dogs and plan on using them for hunting, by all means, save them the pain later and dock. If you never intend to use your Vizsla for hunting or perhaps trail running, keep the tail!!!!! But really, who actually uses hunting dogs for hunting anymore?
@William...it is not the same as wisdom teeth or tonsils. I'm a licensed veterinary nurse and their is only one benefit to doing ear cropping and tail docking and its for looks! Part of it is the AKC standards and they do it to other breeds so they can fight them and not have to worry about their ears getting torn! A lot of veterinary hospitals will not even do the surgery anymore b/c it is for no reason other than to appease the owner. As far as the dye goes...hopefully its safe! I remember when that craze started her and ppl dyed them for Easter. I treated a lot of sick puppies b/c of it!
The AKC is responsible for more animal cruelty with their stupid show "points" standards than China has in its entire history. My poor little schnauzer came to me without his tail or half his ears and traumatized from a year of abuse. His humans abused him then abandoned him because he didn't have enough "points" to be showable. I have nothing but contempt for those people. This dyeing craze is kind of silly but I see no evidence the animals are suffering from it at all. Eventually, their coats will grow out. My dog will never get his tail or ears back.
@dfg
"actually people cut dog tails and crop ears all over the world. and it IS beneficial to some dogs like"
Maybe it is beneficial to cut off your dicccckkk too?
Actually cropping ears and docking tails considered inhumane in Europe/Scandinavia and I believe it is also illegal in most if not all European and Scandinavian countries. My Yorkshire Terrier is from Poland and she has her tail. I love that she is a WHOLE DOG
This isn't even close to real animal abuse. If you devote energy to fighting this it is equivalent to trying to start a campaign to help people afford name brands instead of generics to prevent starvation.
In the US I've seen seniors dye their french poodles with a pink or blue tinge to match their owners' hair. I wouldn't be too surprised if the dog-show crowd all give their contestants a bit of color 'help' before the show. No need to get upset about this.
CUTE! I will do that to my pet!
You think it would be toxic when the animals lick their fur to bath themselves? Not too sure?
Americans do this to pets all the time. Dog salons will cut, perm, straighten, and dye pet's hair no problem. Haven't you ever seen those stupid pink poodle cuts? You can get dyed baby chickens around Easter too. None of it harms the animal, in fact getting a bath is probably more traumatizing. It's a harmless craze; what's with all the hysteria?!?
the hysteria is due to this being done in china, where everything the people do is wrong and barbaric no matter if it's being done in other places in the world... it's called a double standard.
No, you actually wouldn't get arrested in the US. Applying dye to your pet's fur isn't hardly a case of abuse compared to some of the things that ARE perfectly legal in the US. For example, getting your dog's ears altered so they stand up straight or removing a cat's claws so they don't scratch up your furniture. A pet doesn't have that choice in the matter plus it's painful.....but yet it's legal in the US. So I'd stop being so proud about how well we treat pets in the US. I honestly doubt it's that uncomfortable for a dog to get its fur dyed anyway.
Cropping and docking is not all that painful.
Docking the tails is done usually before the pup is 3 days old and the nerves are not finished developing. As for the cropping of the ears, it is a surgical procedure, done under anesthetics. My pups are playing the day of the surgery, with no troubles at all.
Are you people who are condemning a historical procedure circumsized or doing so to your sons? Piercing your baby daughters ears? Get over it.
Instead of going after things you obviously know nothing about, why not focus your energy on actual animal abuse such as puppymills, chaining dogs in yards to trees 24/7, dog fighting and other serious and very real issues.
But no, is easier to go after the show dogs who are VERY well taken care of and immensely loved.
Susan, there is a huge anti-circumcision movement in the U.S. now and many people choose not to pierce their girls' ears.
If people did this in the USofA, Americans would say cute and creative.
Actually, I would look at the title and say "WTF?" then when I see the pictures, id say "aww, so cute."
It is animal abuse!
Find something real to worry about ldlot!
hahaha yes, but they look funny
you think dyeing dogs is cruel, but cutting their penis is ok?
I'm not sure where in the world they cut the penis! If you are talking about neutering or castration....you do absolutely nothing with the penis! And by neutering you pet it can prevent testicular and prostate cancer in the future.
your point? if you cut of a woman's breasts she wont ever get breast cancer, cutting off a dog's reproductive organs to save them from "health risk" is a misguided reason, you don't want your dog to breed because it's an inconvenience to have unsellable pups, humans made dogs from wolves, now we control every aspect of their lives
Of all the stupid things to do to your animal.
Say's who?.
I thought dogs were color blind....? Do they care?
Dogs like attention, just like women who color their own hair.
I want one ! I once had a white cat with a black mohawk, left eye blue, right eye green, and extra thumbs. He was from Hawaii. Named him after Mr. T in Rocky3( Clubber Lang). He was a COOL CAT. I think one of these would be SO COOL,
A lot of people in the US dye their pets fur. Maybe not to look like wild animals but I've seen more than my fair share of pink poodles.
Americans have been dyeing dogs for several years. There are special dog dyes. The trend is growing to include some pretty outlandish patterns and colors. Check out pics:
http://www.dogguide.net/blog/2008/05/no-im-not-kidding-15-photos-of-dogs-with-dye-jobs/
The comments of this post and those of the link you offered contrast in a funny way.
That right babe, we only dye the dog we think not eatable and we do not give a shiat what certain people thinks from a country killing people in hundreds on daily basis and still it has a right to judge other people.
We already do! http://www.pinkcoyote.net/creativegrooming.html Sad
More bleeding heart BS. Until you stop consuming ANY products containing ANY animal products or by-products (yes, there are more than you think), stop whining. Stop wasting time and energy fighting these BS PETA causes when there are HUMAN children and adults being abused and mistreated in world. Priorities.
Dogs eat their own poop, you really think they care about being dyed?
Finally some perspective.
Yes of course they do
This is RIDICULOUSLY fucked up.
I'd rather they paint them than skewer them on a stick and barbecue them like the chinese still to this day do.
EEERRRRR no if you done that in the USA it would be cosidered strange but fashion, chinese people do it, and all of a sudden its cruelty... its barely cruelty we dye are friggin hair, na dyou people dress up your cats and dogs... white people just try and make chinese people looks bad at everything they do,, its getting to the point its begginning to be very sad now..
its like the useless kids getting jealous at the better kids in school, pickin at every little thing they do... SAD LITTLE PEOPLE... worry about your own country thats in debt, falling apart, and inhumainly killing woman and children for oil pfftt
All of this doesn't matter. STOP your animal abuse China
PLEASE SUSPEND RELATIONS WITH CHINA UNTIL THEY STOP THIS ANIMAL ABUSE!!!
i want one
That is so NOT true. I have seen plenty of BIMBO blonde chicks who have pets with dyed hair. Personally I have 3 dogs and just had one die on me. I NEVER dyed their hair. I would NEVER risk my pets getting cancer for stupid kicks. They already go through enough torture going to the Vet when they get fixed and treated. I could not imagine keeping my dogs in such uncomfortable positions long enough to get a pattern on their coat. Maybe one color is something they could tolerate, but for now the flea dip is all they will have to endure besides the normal vet stuff. I think the hard part for the dog would be keeping still and not licking the various dye off of their coat. I am proud to say my dogs have NATURALLY beautiful coats. My pair of German Shepherds have very nice colors and super soft fur. My little brindle naturally has all the stripes he will ever need. We call him little tiger because of his nice natural stripes.
I'd never treat my dog that way. It seems to me to be a cruel punishment.
And a good thing too, God Bless America!!
Reminded me of the "PAINTED BIRD" by Kozinsky where a group of children takes a bird and paint it in various colors. The childrens' intention was perfectly innocent. They just made the bird look better. But in the "Painted Bird"

This is clearly a stupid practice. I am embarrassed for those poor pets!
Really! If you have that much money to spend on non sense, share the wealth.....this is super silly and superficial. why is this even been reported on CNN? Forget animal Abuse this is people abuse....abuse of power. AHHHH I AM SO HAPPY THAT MAN'S UNLOGICAL GOVERMENT IS SOON COMMING TO AN END. i can't take the supidity much longer.

How are the Chinese always so absentmindedly cruel to domestic animals? I know this occurs in the U.S. and Western culture as well, but only the Chinese would create a fashion obsession out of dying one's pets.
...what about dying their fur is cruel? Unless you have some information that demonstrates that the pet incurs some kind of pain from the dying process, I don't see that there's any animal rights issue here.
Other than, as noted in the article, at least they're not eating them anymore.
i think you mean "dyeing" lol!
Some of the seedier areas of China still eat dog
Dogs were not considered as "domestic" animals. It is no different than americans eating cows, pigs, chickens, etc.
Jack, cows, pigs and chickens are domesticated animals. Actually there are plenty of people out there with pigs as pets – supposedly they are as smart as dogs. I think what you are getting at is that dogs were not considered useful animals. I don't think that's what caused them to be eaten. Horses were useful in France, but that didn't stop them from eating them.
That's where you're wrong. You're attempting to put dogs in the category of livestock in the basis that they aren't human. The fact is, dogs evolved with man. They are the only animal that can accurately read human facial expressions and understand a pointed finger. not even chimps can do that. as well humans genetically understand the emotions in a dog's bark. scientists say we would not have advanced without them.
Long story short, eating dogs is an act of human betrayal. Loosely akin to cannibalism.
If a little paint qualifies as cruel in your book, what does selective in-breeding do for you? Chinese don't actively try to create new "breeds" of dogs – a large part of the reason it took so long to establish "recognized breeds" for Chinese dogs. It's an odd western thing to compel them to inbreed and genetically weaken these poor animals to all manner of ailments. Not to mention the sick-and-wrong obsession with designer toy dogs.
They breed them only to get bigger drumsticks.
Why is that when others are doing things that we don't do here we always look at them negatively? Look, making an animal as your pet is cruel no matter how you do it.
You, Sam, are an extremist nutcase.
nuts indeed.
At least we don't cut off their balls. If I have to choose between my balls and my hair color, I would have you dye my leg hair to save my balls. Hypocrits!
Agree !
Cutting off the dogs balls is GOOD for the dog. He will live LONGER and have less risk from testicular cancer. Unwanted feral dogs are a sad reality ALL OVER THE WORLD. If you are not a breeder do the RIGHT thing and cut those balls off!
I think you are confused....having the balls removed is not illegal nor is it a health risk, (unless improperly done) and it helps the dog from being less aggressive (in certain breeds) and also helps the risk of more dogs being born when people can't take care of them...
Again, put yourself in dog's shoe, you can tell me all you want how much longer one would live. Just answer me, would you have your balls cut out or dye your hair.
How is this different than people dyeing their poodles pink and give them weird hair cut??? Or right, these are Chinese and that’s why it’s wrong, right? … It’s called Double Standard!

yeah, only the chinese turn this into a fashion craze: CREATIVE GROOMING CONTEST.
every other country does it, pink poodles and such. why do you blame only the chinese?
Actually the craze started in Europe and the USA FIRST!!!
Wow.... poor dogs
bryan: "Wow.... poor dogs"
Yeah, poor them. They get more attention, affection and petting because they're even more "cute" this way. I'm sure they're hating it.
Yeah I bet dogs just love dye placed all around theyre eyes and spending hours in the salon.. they're dogs, not ppl who think they are better than others.
Money wasted, these pets ( I am a pet lover but not foolish and appreciate God's creations), however, are treated better than all the homeless and those who could use a meal. How many people could you feed? That has got to cost bucco bucks.
So cute! At least it's better than the crazy american owners who dye their animals pinks and greens and obscene eye-hurting colors.
I'm more concerned about the pain inflicted on an animal's eyes when dye is placed on the fur around his eyes than I am about the discomfort I may feel about looking at it. Animals are not toys.
the "pandas" are black chows. you can tell by the purple tongue. the black fur around their eyes is natural and the white portions are what has been dyed.
I can't stand hair dye around my eyes...the burning is horrible. The Chinese are so cruel to dogs. They skin them alive for the fur to sell(check out the humane society's undercover work) to STUPID Americans that want to wear it. God people are so ignorant. The Chow Chow is beautiful just the way they are....
@ KV...the white would be worse. It would be bleach and burn the
crap out of their skin
Melina,
Where did you get the information that the dye hurts the dog's eyes? There's not one mention of any part of the process causing any negative effects to the animals.
I think this is more humane than idiots like Paris Hilton carrying pets around in little bags like they're accessories– where's the outcry for that?
@KV: All chow chow's have purplish tongues! No matter their fur color.
Could they make Sonya, my Iguana look like a Tyrannosaurus Rex?
Hahaha that's hilarious!
Hi David glad to see you right down here.
Yes, Erich, a few implants, some tail lengthing proceedures, should take care of most of it. however it will be a b***tch to keep those contact lenses in place.
Cheers

It seems like putting paint/dye around the dogs eyes could be unhealthy for the dogs, and possibly cause blindness. I know human hair dye is something one never wants to get near one's eyes. If anyone reading this knows more about the health consequences for the dogs, please respond.
There are safe non-toxic colors to make fur DARKER, i.e. white to blue, beige to purple. However, the "dye" used to LIGHTEN fur (the "white" on that panda is not a result of a dye, but of BLEACH) IS toxic and if/when used incorrectly (too much or left on for too long) can seriously burn an animal's skin. This is animal abuse, but most people only care, and see, the end result. How many chows WERE blinded before they got one to look just right?
Alex, alex, alex...you know not of what you speak. There are other sustances besides bleach that can used to trun hair white. And many of them, such as peroxide, have been used for eons with no ill effects.
Alex is right! They shouldn't be doing this to those wonderful chow-chows, those beautiful co-inhabitants of our planet, those scrumptious, delicious, yummy, sweet & sour, stirr-fried friends of ours!
peroxide also burns like crap. Try leaving it on YOUR hair for just a tad bit too long.
Reply to LtleGTO – no, you do not know what you speak of. "Peroxide" used in hair bleaching is not household hydrogen peroxide used to treat wounds. Hair bleaching peroxide is caustic at 12%, 4 times stronger, and it always carries explicit warnings to avoid the eyes and is often sold with protective gloves to be used in the application of the hair product. Just ask any Pharmacist or poison control center before you make stuff up.
There are lots of types of dye, for both lighter and darker colors that are non-toxic and wouldn't cause harm.
Since dogs have fur that sheds much faster than hair, the dye doesn't need to last nearly as long (since it'll fall out soon anyway) so there's no reason to use the same kinds of harsh chemicals like for people.
Hi Susan, I have read most of the posts about this latest craze. It saddens me to see this, I am a hairstylist I know what it takes to bleach hair that white on humans that ask me to it's a very harsh process. Theirs only one way, it's not easy on the skin.. I am pretty sure it's the same process for dogs. It makes my heart sad to think people are doing this to dogs, it's just another way for humans to exercise self indulgence, what ever makes them happy at any cost. Just because breeders dock puppies tails dosen't make it right or clip ears all of it is completely self indulgent... Sadly that's our human race. Dosen't mean we should condone it! It's all inhumane! Treat mankind the way you want to be treated! Respect all living things!
So cute! Hey, so long as they're using safe dye materials, who's hurting anything? Its cute, doesn't hurt the dog. the y don't seem traumatized anyway.
No doubt the PETA nuts will be like "This is a travesty of animal kind!" Sort of like they say toward owning pets at all, the lunatics.
I fully believe in animal rights (you might call me a "PETA nut"), but as long as the dye is non-toxic, I see no problem with this at all. So please stop attributing a lack of reason to people who simply believe that animals do not deserve to suffer at the hands of humans.
We cannot assume that the dyes used on dogs in China are non-toxic; toxicity has been a recurrent issue with some Chinese products. Besides, even the so-called non-toxic products can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Apart from that, it is unconscionable to use animals as toys and fad objects just because they do not have a 'voice' and can't defend themselves. How would you like it if parents started painting their small children with tiger stripes and leopard spots?
tiger striped kids.. WAY COOOOL
So as a PETA nut you are for the extermination of all domesticated animals?
You do know that PETA operates one of the highest kill percentage shelters in the USA in Norfolk Virginia, I think their adoption rate was 1.86% and it's kill rate was 93.81% in 2010.
Ingrid Newkirk's first job was killing animals in a shelter, a job which she proclaims she loved and would go in early to start, leave late. Yaaayyyy PETA.
http://www.petakillsanimals.com/petasdirtysecret.cfm
Just sayin...
just how does this harm the animal? It loks like they are taking special care with grooming and such. One of the neatest things I have seen in a long time!!
This isn't animal abuse. It's just like taking your dog to the groomer to get its fur and nails trimmed. The dog doesn't know (and also doesn't care) what it looks like.
I hope you don't have any animals.
Alex, shut up. Until people stop cutting dog's tails, boxing their ears, declawing cats, fighting dogs, beating their pets and neglecting their pets, you can take your self-righteous smug attitude and shove it when it comes to people changing the appearance of their dog's fur.
I hope YOU don't have any pets that NEED regular grooming, Alex. brushing and trimming and cutting nails is uncomfortable for dogs... but I have seen the result of not doing those things (matting, toenails curled into pads, etc.). Are you one of those people who say slicker brushes are cruel and then bring your dog to my shop to shave the hair that has matted into the skin? This is not abuse as long as they use non-toxic dyes and LIGHTNERs (that do exist). You are holding back REAL animal welfare progress with your mindless demagoguery.
G – I think you're the smug one who needs to shut up. Saying that it's less bad than what other people do is a childish response. Something doesn't need to be worse than others to just be wrong. You should work on not being such a narrow thinker.
Melina319, I was going to say something about what you said, but I can't find a coherent thought in there.
Alex, you obviously don't own a dog. That, in itself is great news! I hope you keep it that way. Because, with dogs, there is some maintenance required. I truly hope you never own any animals.
Oh please, how is that cruel??? You need to breathe and get over yourself, pretentious b@#$%. They look healthy. Ever watch Animal Cops on Animal Planet?
Do you really need to use pretentious b#@*&? Really? Were you that upset with someone's comment?
calm down, angry lady.
Cute, but not good if it's not something safe to use.
well....i think its better than eating them and pretty sure it doesnt hurt them....
unless they are using lead based dyes
What possible harm could that be doing to the animals? women (and men too) dye their hair all the time.
Should that be against the law as well? or considered some type of cruelty? I think not. Let them enjoy life. You "cruelty experts" may wish to get a life as well.
Sheesh.
Have a spectacular adventure filled week everyone.
cheers

Dying your dog purple doesn't even come close to abuse. There are plenty of safe, non-toxic animal dyes. As long as you don't use harmful dyes there is nothing wrong with dying your pet.
The safe non-toxic colors are only the ones that make fur DARKER, i.e. white to blue, beige to purple. However, the "dye" used to LIGHTEN fur (the "white" on that panda is not a result of a dye, but of BLEACH) IS toxic and if/when used incorrectly (too much or left on for too long) can seriously burn an animal's skin. This is animal abuse, but because ignorant people like you only see (and care) about the end-result, the poor animals suffer for your viewing pleasure. Shame on you AND the Chinese.
maybe it is just paint that they use for the white. i know you can get spray based paint for human hair that is in white and even metallic colors. and no, i have no idea about the safety of them except that they are sold for human use so...i guess it depends on if you would consider it safe or not on your own hair.
Chows can be white. I had a white chow. Also the cream fur comes in varying degrees some are close to white, but when you get up close you can tell there is a tinge of brown. While this may not be the case in these dogs, unless you know the people and or the dogs I would suggest not assuming facts at your own whim. You know what they say about assuming.
Clearly you have no reading comprehension whatsoever. I wrote, "There are plenty of safe, non-toxic animal dyes. As long as you don't use harmful dyes there is nothing wrong with dying your pet." Learn how to read nutjob.
I think you should take some time and read all the responses, your just making people think you have 2 braincells left... and they don't even communicate with each other anymore. Good job on trying to make people, "see," your point. jacka ss shame on the chinese? for what? you are the type of ta rd that makes me sick, go crawl back under your bridge u fugly troll
The Chinese have come so far, but still have a LONG way to go. No matter how "cute" this obsession may be, and that eating dogs is viewed by many (but NOT all) as a reminder of poorer times, these animals are living beings – NOT toys or objects to be put on display. This is a garish, and tasteless, example of how money changes everything – and not always for the better.
Alex, I'm assuming that you're insinuating that Chinese people are ill-developed. My assumption is based on my personal interpretation of your following statements, "Chinese have come so far, but still have a LONG way to go.....animals are living beings – NOT toys or objects to be put on display." I think it would also be safe to assume that you believe Westerners are also ill-develoved since Western culture epitomizes objectification of animals. Animal objectificaiton is NOT a Chinese phenomenon; nor is it an American phenomenon (nor any other country for that matter). Animal objectificaiton is a HUMAN phenomenon.
Great... now they'll dye the dogs like tigers, skin them and sell them as tiger skin. China is a horrible country for animals. Go to youtube and look up Chinese Dog Fur Trade.
you wait until that "panda" bites you in the a$$, then it won't be so cute.
Natural is always best. We love them as they are.
Except, when we dress them up. Gotta love the, "Haut Dog" t-shirt!
How silly is this? You are worried about cruelty to animals from a die job? They were EATING them before, people! That involves killing them, skinning them, and stir frying them.
They're still eating and skinning them... the skinning is also done when the dogs are still alive. China is horrible. YOUTUBE Chinese Dog Fur Trade.
Some of the folks are saying that it's animal abuse..i am little curious,in what way they are hurting animals..they are just painting them..isn't it..Just the way we prepare for Halloween..nothing wrong as far as i am concerned..
The safe non-toxic colors are only the ones that make fur DARKER, i.e. white to blue, beige to purple. However, the "dye" used to LIGHTEN fur (the "white" on that panda is not a result of a dye, but of BLEACH) IS toxic and if/when used incorrectly (too much or left on for too long) can seriously burn an animal's skin. This is animal abuse, but because ignorant people like you only see (and care) about the end-result, the poor animals suffer for your viewing pleasure.
I think it's fair to comment after knowing what they might have used for that colour
Dying process is an unneeded exposure to chemicals. These chemicals are so adverse that they can burn your skin & cause hair loss. It is recommended pregnant women do NOT dye their hair. It is illegal to dye livestock because of unneeded stress and damage to the livestock. But if dying the animal saves them from being dinner than so be it.
" It is illegal to dye livestock because of unneeded stress and damage to the livestock."
not true. It is illegal because someone may eat the meat and have a negative reaction. Just like you can't use certain pesticides on plants for consumption.
This is sad that such a large, powerful country contains people who show little to no respect for the natural beauty of animals. May they grow in empathy and respect for the co-inhabitants of our planet...
Well said. Have you ever noticed that ALL the ugliness on this earth is man-made, and that nature has only created beauty? We should respect it and everything in it's natural state.
Nature never created anything. Nature is part of God's creation.
Watch ducks mate, or a killer whale "playing" with a seal pup before he eats it. Then you may wake up and realize that nature is cold and cruel and barbaric. I am a animal welfare activist but also a realist. Humans (for the most part) have improved the lives of dogs by pulling them out of an environment that reduces their lifespan to an average of 3 to 4 years. You only see the bad, which granted is very bad, but your comment is misguided and painfully simplistic.
What Jon said. And, have you ever seen a naked mole rat? Then you will rethink your position about man v. nature.
I want to know what world you live in, where everything "natural" is beautiful? In what twisted world is, say, a mosquito considered beautiful???
Yeah, this from someone who finds nothing wrong with americans putting clothes on dogs and painting their toe nails...keepin' it REAL natural.
Number one – Taiwan is NOT China.
Number two – I've lived here for over 10 years now and the rumors of places to eat dog meat usually circulated around very rural areas and were very much frowned upon. It was declared illegal, but that was just a formality because it was already so taboo. Many societies where it is not possible to raise livestock (i.e. Taiwan where the geography is that center of the country is basically a high mountain ridge, the highest mountain in Asia outside the Himalayans is here, and the rest are the slopes leading down to the sea), used the only source of meat that they could handle, that being their dogs, raised as livestock rather than pets. In other "civilized" countries, chickens and pigs are considered pets (and pigs are even smarter than dogs to boot) and rabbits are raised as food. So who are the "cannibalistic barbarians" now?
Number three – Pampering a pet in Taiwan or China is infinitely better than what many Western countries do – dog fights, surgically altering pets for aesthetic reasons or convenience (as in can't be bothered providing their cats an appropriate place to scratch), puppy mills, tying animals up outside, letting unfixed cats wander outdoors, supporting a black market in exotic pets stolen from their habitats, and most disgustingly – factory farming.
You want to decry animal cruelty, you better start by looking at the meat section in your grocery store. It's like Sinclair's The Jungle, except instead of tainted meat (treated unnecessarily unethically and butchered in unhygienic conditions) coming in cans, they come on styrofoam trays as lumps of protein, with no tie to the animal they came from aside from the label stuck to the wrapper.
Panda-colored dogs are the least of animal rights worries.
@ The F Word
You are so right ! I fully agree with you.
CNN should really check their source when they put on such an article.
- It's NOT TRUE that dog meat can be found in public restaurants in Taiwan 10 years ago. I have lived in TW for more than 25 years and I have never seen any restaurants selling dog meat.
- When you want to share any observation about China or Chinese market, please do NOT mix Taiwan and China together.
Dogs seem to be well taken care of, to me. I would be worring more about various unnecessary cosmetic and debarking surgery being done in US to animals than coloring dogs...
Gosh people are stupid
So... Hitler Cat wasn't really Hitler?
Cute, but the downside is that this will make Chows a more popular breed, especially among families with young children. Chows can be quite aggressive and have vicious bites, especially if they're bred by unscrupulous breeders who irresponsibly breed ill-tempered chows. They aren't the "anything to please my master" type of dog, and can be quite strong willed. All that combined with excessive popularity could lead to a bad situation.
You are completely right. As an owner of a pure bred Chow I am appalled at those photos. I would never subject my dog to that. Chows can be very aggressive if not bred and handled correctly and this will encourage people to get a breed of dog that does not think like other people-pleasing breeds of dogs. Besides, dog is mans best friend – why on earth would anyone want to paint them to look like another animal? Chows are beautiful in their own right and painting them to look like pandas is offensive.
So... this is the country that's going to dominate the 21st century?
Yup. U MAD?!
This is what happens when you give the Chinese money. Get used to it.
At a summit of Mayors in China, the chairperson reports that bad press around the world about fake items from a certain province, chairperson then calls the Mayor of that province to the podium to provide a respond. At that time, a man comes to the podium and said if the chairperson and the other Mayors were serious, he would have to call and invite the real Mayor from that province since the one at the meeting is also a fake.
Just a joke of course, but why would anyone supprised at th fake items from China?
made in china
I guess its better than eating them...
I'm not worried about the animals LOL ...I'm worried about those holding the chows! I love the Tiger dog!
And really you want to discuss colors (miss Pinks and Greens) with Americans.... from a group that wears pinks and purples with red sandals with hello kitty socks... who were told to tone down the colors they wore during the Olympics... which hands down was the best performance I've ever seen! Furthermore, Yes I do only buy made in America items because of lead in made in china items...as best as we can here. I have friends that are American Chinese too so watch your insults please. Lets all go google something important and useful like Stephen Biko...or who was the first person to sign the US Constitution...
I've worked in veterinary medicine for 15 years and have a huge issue with this. For everyone saying that this is not a potentially hazardous situation for the animal, please refer to what the International Veterinary Center has to say regarding the issue.
"The dye can be absorbed through the skin or ingested when pets lick or clean themselves. Sometimes these dyes can be fatal for pets, especially puppies or kittens who are often dyed to look more attractive for sale. Most of this industry, especially hair dyes and coloring for pets, is so new that there may be no testing or regulation."
Thank you ADH. I do not even want to think about how they hold the dogs or worse the puppies to do this. I have seen so much abuse of these beautiful animals in China. They do not deserve CNN;s awwww isn't this cute crap.
It's nice to dress up animals before you eat them. Yummy!!!!!!
Don't care ..it's their dog...and not mine or your business what they do as long as it doesn't adversely affect me...or you. BIG problem today is people not minding their own business...
Oh yeah, it's SO much worse than cutting off their tails like Americans do, or ear-bobbing, painting your poodle pink, etc. etc. etc. Get a brain and stop being so racist you pig.
I can't stand this. What kind of dyes are they using? How many heavy metals are being introduced into their systems?
Oh my gosh. This is awesome! Those panda ones a freaking adorable. I'm so doing this to my dog. Peta people go cry or something. Lol. I'll sic my pet PANDA on you.
I thought they had created a breed that naturally was colored like a panda. If they're just dying them... meh, whatever. Should my 2 year old get an article because she can scribble on my cat with a marker?
your kid is probably not nearly as cute as a panda dog ....
I'm a huge pet advocate. my dog is sitting beside me at work as I type. I think as long as there are no health issues and animals get harmed, this is actually kinda cute. If you want to talk abuse, look closer to home. many many puppy mills all over this so called civilized country ...
Don't be so quick to judge when you're not perfect yourself.
I meant to say DON'T get harmed ...
Agree. People going crazy over nothing.
First they eat them back a few years back, now they painted them?
I'm laughing so hard at that dog. That's comedy.
Folks,
There are no WHITE Chows. There is blonde, cinnamon, and black. They didn't dye around the eyes, they bleached the other parts white..............
Feel better now?????????
there are actually 5 colors or chows – 3 dominant colors – Cream, (off-white) Red, and Black, and 2 recessive Cinnimon (a tanish color) and Blue. Either way, dyeing dogs who have a very large potential to be aggressive and putting them in large groups of people, especially children is very irresponsible. I own a chow and while she is very well socialized, I would never put in the middle of a group people because they are very protective and very suspicious dogs.
asians are nuts. the cutest part is when they EAT it.
Mmmm.... I don't get why this is a bad thing. I'd totally dye my dog like a tiger. Frikkin awesome. It's not like their throwing lead paint on the animals or something..... I mean... since it's China they probably are, but if this were to happen in the U.S., I'm sure there'd be animal-safe dyes involved.
Well..well..well...We can eat beef but not anything else..sounds illogical isn't it..?:)
we decided to eat or not to eat purely depends on taste..probably dog might not have tasted good
i think human being tried eating everything and they settle down with what they like in their respective parts of the world..
OK not great for the dogs but they looks 'well kept' at least. Better than living in a cage all day like some pet owners.
What is worse is the way they keep the dogs ready to be skinned alive for their fur and their meat (this is not just China) – they are tortured kept on top of each other and watch their buddies being tortured while alive and crying.
Check your fur collar all you folks in the (USA & elsewhere) on your coat next time, probably a nice Chow or Labrador blend. Do they say on the label what kind of fur...check it out...
They must dye cats to look like chickens because that's what I'm eating down at my local Chinese restaurant.
Think I'll paint my black long haired cat to look like a skunk! That should shake up the neighborhood.
ha ha..surely it will..:)
You don't need to paint cats – the breed itself is amazing. Check out the toyger(Looks like a tiger) or the savannah (looks like a leopard)
So nice to know that the Chinese have so much money to spend on their hobbies and pets. And I just can't imagine where all that wealth is coming from, let's think on it a moment, shall we?
There you go!!now i understand..it's not about the love for animals,it happened in China!!!that's the problem..:)
Are they crazy! their animals have rights to! Just because we call them pets, does not give them the right to do that them! So it to your selves and see how you like it? i am sure you won't so leave the animals alone!
John – They are animals, they have no rights. Rights are for people. What the heck is wrong with people today? So many otherwise intelligent people are becoming pretty far removed from reality nowadays. Perhaps "AirBud" and it's thirty-odd sequels have subliminally convinced everyone that animals can talk/feel complex emotions/play sports fantastically. You don't like coloring dogs? Then don't color your dog. That was simple, huh?
Yup they have no rights. But they have animal feelings. Bank on it. I hope you get your eyes opened as to why animals NEED rights. The sadists and the indifferent all be damned.
Stupid, stupid, stupid!!!!! The Chinese are the cruelest people in the world when it comes to animals
........ What are you people mad about? I honestly don't understand. lol
me too..
Seriously..we can kill a cow or bull..but we can't paint a Dog..well what's going on??
humans are a joke...
I hate pandas, if they weren't so damn cute they would have been extinct a long time ago. No one worries about the unattractive animals.......
I'd dye my dog to look like a roach.
These people need to just breed dogs to look like pandas. Anyone that dresses up animals in human looking clothes or dyes them like this has mental issues.
When I first saw this article I got so excited thinking china genetically created a Puppy sized Panda!!! Kinda like a Labradoodle or some weird dog cross but with a panda! But to my dismay the weirdo's are just dieing the pups but lets face it people, Getting their nails trimmed is more traumatic for these (probably very well taken care of) pups than getting some die put around their eyes and legs. Personally I wouldn't do it but I and I hope you can atleast admit they are cutie-poopies haha
These animals are food to Chinese people, this could poison someone... should be banned!
Me love china dog no eat!
Hahhahahaha! I find it hilarious that they're dying their dogs to look like wild animals they, as a nation, have nearly made extinct. They fairly single-handedly ensured the only tigers any of us or our children will ever see will be the local inbred at the zoo. They're 99% gone in the wild. THANKS CHINA!!!!
This is the SINGLE valid point anyone has posted thus far.
"A dog is painted as a baby giant panda ..."
Painted? PAINTED !
Got some leftover Easter Egg dye that I didn't use. Gonna make a batch and toss the poodle in. Never liked white poodles anyway. Think green will work.
This is hardly cute. China's record on animal abuse is off the scale compared to any other society in the world, stealing people's pets and skinning them alive for the international fur industry [http://features.peta.org/ChineseFurFarms/]. These people are real monsters.
Relax Ed, you have high school students killing other high school kids and teachers in excution style. Would that make Amrerica the devil? Of course not. Get some education and travel more.
i don't get it. CHINESE eat dogs (keeping them in inhumane conditions), make cheap coats out of their furs and generally are very CRUEL to the dogs who are unlucky to be born in that inhumane country.
There's someone called Jeffrey Dahmer who ate people – we are from the same country as him.
My neighbor in China hires a full time care taker for his two tibetan dogs and airlift fresh meat from Tibet for his dogs. Yes, he probably spends more on his dog food than you spend on yours. My point is don't just see the extremes. Most Chinese love their pets. Remember, dogs are first domesticated by the Chinese. Go do some research
What's wrong with a dog looking like a dog? That's all I have to say...
What's wrong with you without any makeups or accessories? That's all I have to say.
Although this probably doesn't cause any harm to the animals, I certainly wouldn't be doing this to my dogs fur, I like my dog to look like a dog. I would be most concerned about these dyes staining anything the animals lay on, like carpet, upholstery etc..
Good point about the stains but these are some very hairy pets. I guess they'd have to be to get dyed. Wouldn't that mean they'd 'stain' anything they lay on even without the dye? I'm referring to the shedding hair; the dirt in the hair, on their paws, noses and mouth – UGH. That's why I'm not into pets. When I get home, I leave my shoes at the door, put on slippers, shower and change clothes. Dogs and cats roll around in places I would never even walk in then they're all over the place: in the owner's beds, in the kitchen around food, in kids faces – ugh, I'm really getting nauseous.
no chemical in food this is not health
I think this is so cute! I don't see it being bad if it's not harming the dogs. If this is a bad thing – face painting for kids should be banned. You decide.
agreed. People go crazy over the stupidest things. These people obviously like their dogs and are having fun. I am certain the dogs are loving all of the attention.
Oh by the way. The Asians only eat yellow dog (at least in Korea). If you see a Labrador or any other dog that is someones pet. If you see a Dingo looking dog – that is someones dinner. Actually yellow dog taste pretty good. It is sort of like the beef at the Chinese buffet with the broccoli. The meat is pretty tough but if you beat it with a stick before slaughter it is much better. Also helps to use a blowtorch to burn the fur off (make sure dog is dead).
Given all the other delicious animals available, like cows, pigs, chickens, various fish, the fact that you say that dog is tough and must be beaten to tenderize it just goes to show that all asians are monsters if they are to go out of they're way to eat mans best friend
All Asians?? Stereotyping people is more inhumane than this dog dyeing issue.
someone needs to beat you with a stick...this isn;t even funny
I want a panda that's painted to look like an Asian person.
In the grand scheme of how people treat animals this is not abuse. The dog may want to kill itself out of embarrassment but would certainly accept this over being Vick's dog.
Just be happy you live in a prosperous country that don't have to resort to eating things other countries have to eat to survive. I'm sure anyone in that situation would do the same. I remember the story of this person who ate human parts from a plane crash to survive. Do you think he's sick?? Or is it survival?
at least a human has a choice...animals have no voice
What about the guy that got eaten? Where was his voice? Oh yeah, it was in the stew they made out of him.
This is cruel punishment for the dogs. That's why I won't let Michelle use dye on our dog Bo, she's only allowed to use bleach
I think that they should make the dyed dogs fight each other and see who wins. Could a bear-dyed dog beat a tiger-dyed dog? only one way to find out!
Good God people are stupid and have too much time on their hands. Poor dogs.
Dear people: love your pets like they're family members and stop doing ridiculous, abusive shit to them.
Exactly! You make them look like something they are not, you dye their hair, and you parade them around the neighborhood for everyone to look at. Stop the abuse! Wait. . . are we talking about the dogs, or kids on Halloween?
This far and no one has yet to actually say HOW this is cruel and abusive. lol. I think people just love to find passive, off-topic ways to hate groups, cultures, etc. that they don't necessarily agree with.
It MAY NOT be cruel and abusive, but it MIGHT BE. The issue is there's not enough information about how the animals are dyed, what is in the dye, and what the long term effects are. And to be honest, my guess, is that in China they dyes are probably very toxic–I mean their baby toys, milk, etc. are toxic. AND DYE!?!?!? I can bet they're not using any sort of special dye that is safe for animals.
The other issue is that because we don't know a lot about the dye and the process, and the fact that the dogs can't decide yes or no I want my hair to be dyed, it could in fact be very very cruel and abusive. THOSE are the issues.
The other thing is the longer term effects that this practice will have on dog breeding and puppy mills.
Well, if a parent dye his/her daughter's hair pink or blue, what would you say?
Do you really consider it is a child abuse?
Dogs are fed by their owners and owners have a right to dress or decorate their dogs as long as they don't physically/mentally damage the dog.
I'm dyeing my pitbull camouflage...stay of my lawn you rapscallions
Nice. lol
Quite cute indeed. A dog to look like a panda? Now that's a novelty although some people may deem it as animal abuse. I don't understand why since the dogs are not mistreated in the first place.
NBD.
nbd. ____
Memo to CNN: China and Taiwan are DIFFERENT countries (even though Beijing doesn't believe it.)
Just like United States and Hawaii !
leave the damn dogs alone! instead of wasting so much time and money on ridiculous dog painting, feed a hungry child or donate money to those who really need it. WTF is wrong with people????
China? Donate to the needy? HAHAHA.
Thanks to our lust for Chinese products they own us. Let's not get them mad so that our children can eat. Shhhhhhhh
There is nothing wrong with those people. It's their money and they can do what ever they want. Donate to the needed? How many pair of shoes do you have? I bet you have more than 1. Do you really need the second pair of shoes? WTF with you! Why don't you donate it to the needed instead of buying another pair of shoes or clolthes you don't need.
the number of shoes that i own has nothing to do with me donating my money to help others in need. i already donate on a VERY regular basis and don't need you to tell me to.
painting dogs will always be stupid no matter who does it. people need to find more productive things to do with their time and money.
Better yet cook the dog and feed it to the hungry children.
don't criticize the Chinese or our walmarts will be empty and our banks will lose all their money. remember that they own us.
remember that the Chinese love dogs because they taste like chicken.
mmm...chicken
mmm....dog
there is a reason why dogs are dogs. If people really want something they own to look like a wild animal they should just color and dye they're pubic area.
Plenty of dogs are mistreated in China, but these are generally not among them. These owners absolutely love their dogs. They are probably more careful about the dyes they use on their dogs than on themselves. Just a generation ago, dogs in China were not pets, they were livestock. Now, they have a growing pet culture. The people with these panda dogs are more likely speak out against bile bears and other animal cruelty issues. Also, the more people in China that take dogs as pets, the less people in China will be inclined to eat dogs.
They are nuts...that country is crazy!
U R A NUT, A TRUE COCANUT ^.^
"barbaric" ... Um what? I really don't see what is so bad about doing these things. Im not very educated on this matter so I don't know if there is some type of poison or something that is negative towards the animal's health. So running off of the idea that they don't here, I really don't see a problem. :/
If the animal is happy and healthy, then let it be. If there is in fact some type of negative property to it's health, then do something about it.
The eye close to the animals eyes is what would concern me. The rest, is probably harmless but I guess it is better than cropping your dog's tail or ears.
Ok really? Interesting yes but for petes sake.....do not dye your dog. Let them be and play fetch or something or do something better with your time and go for a walk/run with your dog.........good grief
There are better things you can do with your time, but it is not the end all situation. You can still play fetch and do other activities. Saying that you shouldn't die your dog in the sake of time is ridiculous. I'm not saying you have to, but it's ridiculous to say you shouldn't in sake of time. You can still do other things with your dogs people, calm down.
Question to all those people who say this is cruel.
Do you eat meat?...Unless you're a vegetarian, you're more cruel than them. Eating an animal just to satisfy your hunger. Does the animal on your plate have a choice? Is that selfish and cruel? The point is, don't talk about other people if you're no better than them.
shut up with the vegetarian talk already.
To the vegetarians does the plants have a choice if they end up on your dinner plate? No? Then stfu.
so i'm pretty the people have to pay quite a bit of money to have this done...and i'm pretty sure these dogs are probably living a better lifestyle then most of us...the dogs are probably pretty excited...if only we could get them to carry LV bags...hmmmmm...JK
This whole debate over dying pets is hilarious – is it abuse; is it not abuse? Since when did pet people really care what their pets want? I’m pretty sure most dogs would probably prefer to hang out in packs running wild with other dogs – not cooped up in a house living with humans; hanging out all day, often alone, being bored. And how about these prized pedigreed animals in dog shows? They may be pampered but they’re also subjected to all kinds of primping, fluffing and traveling around in cages. I’m sure that’s what dogs dream about.
The people who are dying their pets to look like something else would probably love to have an actual panda or a tiger but since they cannot, the next best thing is to make the pets they can have, dogs, like just like these other animals. How’s that any different than breeding out or in certain traits to make dogs more domesticated?
I’m not an animal or pet person at all so I really couldn’t care less one way or another but it does concern me that kids will not know the difference between a dog and these other animals.
^~^ I wantz a panda dog!! lol
...........................So what? People die their kids's hair when they are five or six. Dogs get attention from it and they look cute, in the age where there are people that die their hair to the colours of a rainbow, this isn't as extreme...at least there's no pericings or tatoos.....like some people. Now that would be bad......animal abuse.
I am sure dogs would prefer being dyed than the cruelty that was inflicted on them via all the horrible crossbreeding attempts in Europe that went into creating new dog breeds.
well at least theyre not eating them...for now.
Wow, what's with all the people screaming animal abuse? Lighten up. I know it's related to China, and you have to jump on the band wagon, but omg.
Weirdos...
"In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose." Seriously? I live in Taiwan for 30 years and I can tell you this is just not true. You may want to write a article about China, but do you know anything about Taiwan? Stop putting Taiwan into your China article. You know nothing about us...
I want a panda puppy soooooo bad!
I wonder if China can paint me to look like a presidential candidate? Whenever I try it, I end up looking like a rich republican whore.
I love you Tina Fey!
Chinese ppl are fucking nuts ! They hunt endangered animals for bones and decorations, they eat any animal they can find including dogs, now they are abusing them ! They should pay in hell for this! Let some animal desease infect them and wipe out all who do it ! Screw you psycho's!
Yes, Chinese are still not animal friendly but we're improving. At least we didn't decimate 90% of native Indian population. Oh yeah, forgot your pets are more important.
Dyeing fur is hardly cruel. Declawing cats, docking the tails of dogs like my Weimaraner and poodle (Which weren't done properly by the way) are cruel acts. I want to see a Weimaraner with a long tail, and a poodle with a long tail as well.
If you want cruel, watch 'Shark Hunt'. That is beyond cruel, probably one of many reasons it was taken off the air. The name speaks for itself as to what it contains.
The Chinese are so behind in style. Can we just have the Chicks in the Red dresses in "painted on" Bikinis? So lame China...
This is so weird I'm not sure what to think. If it's temporary wash-out color, I think it's kind of fun. Great for Halloween and such.
If it's longer term, then I'm not much of a fan. Sure, it'll eventually grow out, but either there are times when your dog will just look stupid, or you'll be in a constant battle for upkeep.
I'm sure it doesn't cause the dog any psychological damage, but can't we just let a dog be a dog?
On the other hand, I'd like to see a camo hunting dog!
This is sickening. The Chinese, many of whom still practice Traditional Chinese Medicine, which in double blind studies has no more effectiveness than placebos, are painting dogs to look like tigers. I wonder if they are going to kill the dogs to take their penis to use as a male enhancement pill, like real tiger are slaughtered for? Remember, these are also the people who are decimating the oceans for shark fins.
damn straight !
Haha, and this come from the same people whose ancestor killed 95% of whale population and now blaming Japanese for killing fraction of the population.
Want to talk about animal abuse? Why don't you stop supporting the beef industry? Now THAT's animal abuse!
Americans who eat meat sanctimoniously commenting on this story = FAIL
Amen, brother!
Thank you, PaulMc1981! The majority of these posts are written by judgmental, self-righteous American hypocrites who can't even spell! Makes me sick.
do you even know an American because I know plenty and that comment was just the rudest thing ever p.s. I'm vietnamese and american!
This is ridiculous. If you really loved your pets, why would you subject them to this?
Inhumane
Hate them mainlanders
This is purely stupid.. once again, the certain set of chinese mainlanders have showed that their thoughts and doings, are of an animal. They should dye themselves and see how it feels . Its already pissing off already that they eat dogs .. definitely a stupid idea and abuse of innocent pets who know nothing better..dumb ass idea , once again for the amusement of idiots..
I totally agree it will be an awesome art work, if people dyed themselves.
There is a form of art like that, Its callled tatoo.
Instead of tattoo, maybe they need cosplay more.haha~
Animal abuse? You guys are wayyyy too serious man. By the way, I want to see if anyone had their dog dyed in Rock'n roll style, like KISS. That will be weird.
Hey that means they are loving their dogs, not their meat. Isn't that supposed to be a very good change??
I think this is perfectly fine, I have seen this being done in other "western" countries to some extent, its only because it is in China that this is even news. Sure the dogs love the attention!
We just love to bash on China
American's always need to have an enemy, imaginary or real
We just love to have someone to hate on
Now I expected, they can take picture together in real. The dyeing one and the true one.
Hey, we all know the chinese are crazies, but atleast theyre not eating them ! Atleast the poor pups get to live rather than turning in puppy dumplings.
double standards, double standards everywhere. How can some people profess to be so virtuous and yet be so hypocritical?
PaulMc1981 is right, if you label dyeing pets' hair as animal cruelty, that's extreme. You should be on the other side of the extreme too, then. Be a vegetarian, and perhaps then people will take you more seriously.
Docking your dogs' tails is a tradition passed on from times when you used your dogs to HUNT. How many people actually hunt on a regular basis? Or at all?
The thing is, these forms of animal cruelty still exist even though you no longer have practical use for them (except for traditions' sake). Same thing on the other side of the planet, some of their traditions changed, and others are still lingering.
To me, this is weird, it's like loving your dog pet because it looks like a panda. Hmm? But I wouldn't start pointing fingers.
Well at least they have moved from eating >>> to dying >>>> next I hope loving.........
Was funnier when I saw it last year. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1284646/Meet-Tiger-Dog-Chinese-owners-dye-pets-look-like-wild-animals.html
This is better than eating your own dog!
That tiger striped Golden Retrieve looks pretty happy to me. If he's anything like mine then he was just happy for the human attention.
Hey..It's unfair. Doesn't such kind of thing happen in US? Why western countries' mass media always try to humiliate China by all the means in all aspects?
Because they need someone to hate, although those people have absolutely nothing to do with their own problems. They like to feel superior although I bet majority of the people who wrote those hateful comments have no college education, working at low paid jobs that they hate.
I think this should be illegal.
Alternatively, we could all just not dye pets in the first place and accept them for what they are. Neither approach can really be considered worse thab the other from tbe perspective of the pet.
can't you read??? this is NOT animal friendly dye.. not that I would care, fur dying is useless "torture" of animals... so when people get upset it's understandable.
Ever dyed your hair or your kids hair/face painting? Or tatoo? Ear piercing? Ever cropped the tails or your dogs or clipped their ears? Feeling better now?
No one cares about dyed animals, when are we going to start seeing naked Chinese girls? What wrong with that society? Millions and millions of chicks and none of them are allowed to get naked? Right up there with the Middle East, a real shame...
What about the animal skin? Wont this ink casue any rashes? I would like to know what PETA would like to say about this in the US.
But in the other side is China we are speaking about. What abut shark fin fishing? The citizens do not have civil rights so why would animals at all, as long as there is money they will sell their own mother.
It goes all the way to make the economy grow for the party to look good, they will kill their own forest and seas, poison the water and if some one complains hey "Here is your ticket to work/death camp, oh and your family has just been signed in into the organ farm. Thank you bvery much"
So sorry for my langwidge bat chinese no eat dog for hundred year. west should not judge.
I don't even need to read the comments to know that there are probably a bunch of know-it-all, uptight activists lecturing about how this is wrong, and pretending that they know for a fact the dye is harmful.
china has become a threat to the white people and so no matter that the Chinese do they will be vilified. The chinese should realized they don't need the West's approval to be validated...because they will never get it no matter what they do. The only way chinese will get any sympathy is if they become as powerless as the pets...white people like pets more than chinese people because pets are not threatening but chinese are.
You think the chinese are a threat to the "white people"?? Get a clue dude. The white race has done nothing but exterminate races since its existance. The white race has been responsible for the extermination of the indian tribe that existed on Jamaca before they put thier "slaves" there. Which is another race we tried to kill out. Should i also mention the native americans. we made it look like we came in peace. In the end the White race killed millions of them over a course of a few years. The white race deserves to be taken out because of ignorant, self centered, egotistical, white niggers like you. Be a real member of the White Race and shut the f**k up.
awesome. thats all i have to say.
nice work
Not an activist at all, but just thought dogs are cuter the way they are. It's a pet park, not a safari, so what's the point of looking like wild animals...go figure.
as long as you are not imposing your western sensibilities to the chinese...why must all people's behavior in this planet be validated against the white man's standards and approval?
however if this craze had came out of a western country say the UK and started by some cool celebrities...i am sure it might even catch on...or at the very least not receive such bad press...
The chinese people need to remember that the west care much more about pets than people...and by people i mean chinese people.
Because GOD is White and he created the white man in his image!
@White Power
"Because GOD is White and he created the white man in his image!"
Have you seen God? I did and last time I saw He was transparent.
I find it pretty funny
at least, much more better than nasty practice of eating poor chow chows, and even better than wide-spread (mostly in the US and Europe) practice of tail-cutting or dog fighting; but why just dogs – it's just a joke, compared to the corrida, isn't it?
Pathetic... I guess when they eat their family pet it will appear more like exotic meat...
Poor dogs, yes, But actually, poor Chinese. They have given up all their freedoms and rights in exchange for the shallowest of lives. They'd rather have an iPhone or some Levi's jeans than the freedom to question their government or vote or practice the religion they choose. They have been neutered and groomed and dyed just like their dogs, and they think they are happy.
You sound really ignorant – pretty much just repeating what you hear from CNN....next time people spoon-feed you facts...you should really ask questions.
wow, some of the comments are ignorant, nature isnt all beauty, many predators play with their prey and dolphins kill for the fun of it, just 2 examples off the top of my head there are many more though
it's a dog. So what if you dye its hair. It does not hurt them. they don't care. They are DOGS. People sit there and argue this all you want too. But which would you rather have, China making thier dogs look like other animals or having thier dog look like a sidewalk all you can eat. If they are creating walking artwork on living creatures without eating them. I give them huge props for such a huge leap forward.
This is too stupid for words. What a waste of money.
More animal abuse from China.
more people abuse from US...kill all the non-white people but make sure there is no collateral damage vis-a-vis the pets
it's "ok" if Americans breed dogs to fight,
but damn those Chinese if they dye their dogs!
God Bless America and no where else!
Stop Animal Abuse of all kind – everywhere in the world. Animal abuse in USA is especially not excusable – we know better!
I want to dye my dog purple. She does not have to hide from predators, and I'm not even sure she can see purple, so I'm having a hard time understanding how that's "cruel".
That is mean for dogs>_< TAT Stupid people!=.=|||
Chinese people has a serious problem.
Chinese people shall stop top treat pets as toys
white people like to treat chinese as pets so they can tell them exactly what and what not to do....
Towards your reply to my comment... I wasn't trying to have a mature response, just stated how I thought that little boy was a weirdo just like you.
Ok first of all almost this is not animal abuse, it doesn’t even compare to animal abuse. I think its art and it’s very beautiful. Second of all almost everyone who commented had so many grammar errors you all spell like retarded dyslexics. Learn to spell because I am 12 and I don’t even live in the U.S I live in the Caribbean and I go to a Dutch school. And I doubt that someone would go to an amateur to dye their pets. It’s probably done by professionals who know what they’re doing and know how to cause the dog less pain possible. You Americans just got dissed.
Eduardo, nobody cares that you're from the Caribbean or that you go to Dutch school. You seem like a weirdo who probably wacks off to CNN, especially at your age. That's even if you've hit puberty yet.
i think the 12 yo sounds way more mature than you
II'd be worried if they dyed one to look like a cow, and then ate if for dinner.
Bahahhaaha!! Maybe the dye gives them more flavor?
Thats cruel!!!!
I love my baby the way God make her, if you want a wild animal go and get one dont be dying their hair and putting chimicals poor babies!!!!
Why is this cruel? The dog has no idea it looks like a panda.
lol they act like the dog is walking around saying dam i look like a panda bear everyone knows the dog does not give a dam
Thank you for understanding WJW. Its beutiful.
The Chinese are soooo SHALLOW! Lol.
the white people is so controlling
SHUT UP ABOUT YOUR HATRID FOR WHITE PEOPLE!
only if you shut up about your hatred for chniese people bordering on hate crime...the last time i checked i am not the one making the hate filled accusations about any number of things committed by white people as u r doing to chniese
I agree. whites have committed more atrocities towards other races than they against them. in the past. but not ALL white did. only a select few. but those few ruin it for the rest of us. so we all get labeled.
Kudos to you Jdg...the eating and torture of dogs in China is an abomination!
your hate filled insult to all chinese people is an abomination and you are bordernig on perpetrating a hate crime
China's is a sick society, and this is just one manifestation of their "greed is good" mentality. Don't believe that dogs aren't eaten there still. They are, and they are beaten to death and purposely abused and stressed before that beating in order to tenderize the meat. There are factory farms in China where bears with surgically implanted tubes in their guts are kept in tiny cages and continuously milked for gall. They are fed salty food in order to make them drink more water and produce more. Fur farms peel animals alive in China. So it's no surprise that dogs would be dyed as status symbols. Do you think these animals are kept into old age? They are discarded when the next trend comes along.
@Fiona...great job generalizing an entire people and society based on a few pictures. Its ironic that your ignorance became so obvious as you tried to take a higher ethical stance. Animal abuse is worldwide. My friend works at with animal shelters in the US and she often sees dogs and cats that have been brutally abused (dragged behind a car until half dead, starved for weeks, etc). Cows raised in the midwest have tubes put into their stomachs so farmers can put their hands directly into the cow. Sheeps in Australia get part of their butt removed. Ever heard of Kentucky Fried Cruelty? The french eat snails and cheese, which is essentially fermented mold and bacteria...something the Chinese find disgusting. Animal abuse is rampant and done by sick individuals. But you are SICK for making up these stereotypes and actually publicizing them as if you are intelligent. It just makes you sound stupid, especially since you obviously have no idea about other cultures other than your own.
Dyeing these pets is supposed to be a fun thing...who doesn't dress up their pets. I've seen so many pink or blue poodles here in the US. Last time I checked, dye isn't permanent and probably just gets these pets more attention, which is something I have never seen a dog turn away from. I'd say that "Fixing" animals is far more cruel and painful for them.
amerika is sick to have individuals like you who can upon seeing a few innocent pictures spout all these hate-filled insults and accusations. Do you have any real proof of what you said? .did you actually visited china to see for yourself or just going onto a few china hate-mongering blogs on the internet (so reliable and authoritative)? Have you ever thought actually visiting one of those places where they dye the animals and check if the dyes are in fact so harmful as you think...your other accusations are completely based on your own assumptions that you are bordering on committing a hate crime against chinese people disguised as a sincere concern about animal welfare..I am sure you are really care about the animals...really...or is it just plani hate against chinese people...way to go!
I suppose Wall street and US politicians aren't greedy!?
they're as innocent as pure coke they snort???
LOLZ
get over yourself
Your completely right!!!! I hate these people.
how is this any different from taking pets to the groomers for hair cuts? Has anyone ever seen a poodle? I doubt they have puffs of fur on their ears, head and tail in the wild. On halloween, every single park is filled with animals dressed up to look like other things. AND a lot of pet grooming places in the US offer pet dyeing services....I've been asked multiple times if I would like to make my white Maltese pink.
We're American's so it's "OK" if we do it!
(sarcasm
People here don't realize when you point a finger at someone, there's always 3 fingers pointed right back at you
(for those with a American GED, check your hand)
Yeah, there is animal abuse throughout the world by sick individuals...but in China it is commonplace to abuse animals. I mean, come on! They blow-torch those poor dogs to make the meat "taste better"!
you make alot of assumptions with any proof whatsoever...this is bordering on hate crime
and after all the dying, the dogs get chopped up into pieces and fried in a wok and served with rice
good job china
you make alot of hateful assumptions and verbal insults with any proof whatsoever...this is bordering on hate crime
People have been doing this all over the world, but no one cares, unless it's the Chinese
look at the Mexican Zebra
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tijuana_Zebra
you are absolutely correct...americans shoould wake to the fact that they so discriminatory and hate filled towards china that they should be incited for hate crimes...at least it is not as bad as crime against humanity that they perform in other countries...at least not yet...
if china get so much hate from amerika for just a few innocent pic of happy owners who are obviously quite caring and devoted to their pets...what would these hate mongering amerikans think if chinese had done some of the things amerika did with full belief in their right and innocence to kill 200K iraqis and afghans in unjustifiable wars....i think they would crynig for blood...there is a severe double standard here
somtimes i am ashamed to be in America........i love my state more than my country and even then i do not agree with them. so what is one to do?
For the people saying dogs dont care how they look; you're kinda wrong, animals get depressed when their furr is too short compared to what it was, like when you shear them for summer, not saying thats wrong, its good to do that for summer, but the animals does get upset go figure if you dye it, they'll eventually do aswell, since they cant recognise themselves! AND it's been proved scientifically, but ofcourse there might be the ones who like it, my dog is the kinda that doesnt really appreciate it. It's so idiotic to dye an animal, wtf!
And for the ones defending stupid things china does against animals; they're not the most environment protectors, they kill tigers to eat their balls... wtf!
And no, Im not american and I dont live in the USA, so dont come with americans did this and that, they're people who cant complain about anything, but animals are not the ones to blame because of what some other country did, I think ANYONE who does any harm to animals should be locked up for their entire life with not a single human right.
Humans kill and steal for greed, animals dont!
loving the animals is a good excuse to kill off the humans esp the subhuman chinese...we need to kill all the chinese and replace them with animals...so much better for the planet and also rid of these greedy bastards...
wouldnt it be so nice if the whole planet was just me and the animals...so much better for the ecology....when we can get rid of these pesky parasites called the humans...i mean the chinese...i myself alone and my immediate family shall survive along with the abundance of nature...all to myself...i am so selfless...
Animals do*
I am quite sure these animals feel violated
i wonder if they can paint my all black cat into a "chupa cabra"?
Omgomgomgomg, dibs on Pikachu!
Look, I think that the animals probably hate it when it happens but there is much crueler treatment of animals out there and in these pics the animals look happy and well-cared for. At least they're not being eaten anymore right?? I think there are much bigger fish to fry in the cruelty to animals department. Hello, bear-bile farms? That's my 2 cents anyway...
I am with you Susi. They do look happy and their are worse offenders out there.
ooops *there not their.
thats funny
Why do I have to scroll down all the way to the bottom of the screen just to leave a message.
"Fixing" is the only solution to end the suffering of companion animals due to starvation, homelessness, and abuse worldwide! Having pets fixed is not cruel Helen...to say such shows YOUR ignorance!!!!!
I am all for stopping animal cruelty and all that. I do not see how this is cruel. They look happy walking down the street. If they were being beaten or starved i could say cruel. Hair dye? No different than painting nails. I think people should just mind their own business and leave others alone. You do what you want with your dog, And others will do what they want with their dog. Less stress for everyone, b/c no one is caring what others are doing.
Right on!
Aren't there MORE IMPORTANT issues for people to be discussing, other than fashion trends for pets?!?!?! People, please! If you want to get passionate about something, get riled up about the current crappy state of our economy, not PET FASHION TRENDS! The dogs are adorable and it's a current fashion trend, much like people taking their dogs to pet salons to have their nails painted, groomed, etc...and so forth in the US. No one is hurting the dogs at those salons and there is no abuse going on in this instance either. Would it make you insane people, who are insisting that this is animal abuse, feel better to go throw a few buckets of red paint on the people doing this in China? Feel free! Hop a plane and fly on over there, nutjobs! At least, it'll get you out of the US for a little while and maybe just maybe we won't have to listen to your idiotic babbling for a bit. Poor Chinese people! I feel sorry for ya'll!
Yep. Thank you!
Cute furry pets getting cosmetology should be much lower on your list of concerns as compared to women and children being embargo-starved and blown up in the Middle East.
Its a dog. As long as you don't kill it, abuse it and continue to feed it, it doesn't care. Many Americans have really gone overboard in many areas.
NOTWITHSTANDING, TO MANY PEOPLE DYING PETS IS A SORT OF ANIMAL ABUSING.
They are made super cute and then they eat them
People on this comment page need to chill the fuck out.
Yes, this is a terrible double standard, all the dyed poodles you see on easter are "OMG SO CUTE" while as soon as the dog is dyed more than one color it's "OMG THE CHINESE ARE BARBARIC. LALALA ANIMAL ABUSE"
Yes, the Chinese do eat dogs. HOWEVER (this is a huge however), they're not the pets that you see. Okay? These are dogs bred ESPECIALLY to eat. They're not pets. Got a problem with it? Then stop eating chicken, pork, beef, or any other animal product.
Do you people HONESTLY have nothing better to do than to speculate whether or not DYEING a dog's fur is animal abuse? Are we in kindergarten again? HAIR IS DEAD. IT DOES NOT CAUSE PAIN. I'd even go so far to say that it feels good for the dog. Doesn't brushing your hair feel good? yeah thought so.
a side note, these were clearly done with care/precision, China is a LOT different from what you see on AMERICAN news. -.-
Calls for psychotherapy
http://features.peta.org/ChineseFurFarms/
They key word here is "Chinese"...
In comparison, while Koreans and Japanese live their lives like the rest of us..CHINESE do these mind blowing things!!!
hmm
Holy smokes.. "In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose. "
This article is making it sound like dog eating is such a common thing in Asian culture. This is one of the big issues with the media these days. Everyone thinks Asian people eat dog and cat meat all the time outside of the USA. DO NOT BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ. It is sad that this is happening. I have been visiting Taiwan and Asia since I was little (about once a year for many years). I would've been traumatized and disgusted if I had seen any of this going on! They make it sound like 10 years ago you can walk into any part of Taiwan and there are dog meat farms and restaurants serving dog meat. NOT TRUE!!! I never saw one morsel of dog meat in my days there. I stayed in the big cities, so I cannot say this is NOT true of tiny little towns, but I did pass through many of them to sightsee and NEVER ONCE did I see dog meat or a DOG MEAT farm! Please, do not judge based on this type of influential biased media.
In fact, I have a VERY large extended family all over Taiwan (and HK and China too) and the MAJORITY of them had beloved canine pets ever since I was as young as 10 years old. I loved visiting all the different pets my relatives had at their homes, first this dog, then that dog, then this cat.. but usually always dogs. They were deeply loved, treated like kings and queens, and NEVER COOKED OR EATEN. Not even considered.. I'm pretty sure all my relatives in Asia would've balked and been horrified at the thought of eating the creatures. We loved those dogs. They were great companions. Some were cute little lapdogs.. even a family of cute Maltese named after anime characters of which one was a teacup that got a concussion just trying to climb down 2 little steps. Adorable. They were healthy and happy. So were we. Dog meat and dog farms everywhere BS!!!
It's funny how you guys grill China, but did you know that a majority of house pets in China are mutts. Domestic animals are passed around family members, instead of the LARGE BREEDING FARMS THAT FEED THE AMERICAN APETITE FOR DOMESTIC ANIMALS. When those DOMESTIC ANIMALS THAT AREN'T SOLD, THEY ARE KILLED OFF. Take your blinders off AMERICA. Those that live in glass huts... The Pot calling the Kettle... I have more if you want them...
I just saw the other day that US has the similar show, too. They dyeing their pet like a differnt animals.
Therefore dyeing as Panda is not so surprising.
And it is so strange because of "Panda" they used sounded like having a gelous to me.
I think any "Dog Show" is abusing animals.
Those animals are not even animal treated. They are treated as money producing.
Hey, dog-eating wasn't that rampant ten years ago in Taiwan already.
In fact, I never recall seeing any dish associating with 'fragrant meat' in any restaurant since I was born.
This kind of dish has only been served in remote areas here.
But, if anyone dares to do this and gets caught, there will immediately be waves of unbearable criticism from animal lovers and the person who does this inevitably has to face charges.
Is it camouflage? to protect the dogs from getting eaten?
Probably not nearly as harmful as the poor little dogs that are used as fashion accessories and spend their days in purses.
Dogs are beautiful Al natural without added color, if you want a panda, buy one. The reason you don't becouse a panda is a stupid bear and is unable to walk around on a leash. Years ago people colored rabbits, ducks for Easter, it was just a trend. This Chinese trend will go away too. Stupid is as Stupid does.
The reason you don't buy a Panda is because it's an endangered and wild animal and you can't. Who cares if they dye their pets, it's definitely a step up from them eating them.
compared to their companions on the claypots and dishes, i say they are pretty lucky being a dog
That's so cute!
Its better for them to dye their dogs and eat them later than to dye their pandas like dog and eat them later... they dinna have enough pandas to go around wif.
Seriously, it's always better if humans leave the creation alone. Wealthy and bored humans are pests.
i think the saddest part about this article is that the Chinese will soon not know the difference between a Giant panda and a dog painted like one. look how happy that first kid is looking at a Giant panda sprawled on the floor like that... im sure Giant pandas eat kibbles and bits and are incapable of climbing bamboo trees and eating their rare and nutritious meal
At least they're not eating them as much anymore. I'm much prefer them dyeing their pets than making them dinner.
SO wrong on so many levels.....not cool at all. Those poor animals.
poeple STOP IT! these dogs are adorable. Panda chows brilliant! My dogs love attention. When I take them to the park people always want to pet them. Dogs love the attention. That dye will either grow out or wash off. I love my dogs and if I colored them for that much attention, if they could talk they would say, "were do we sign!"
Regardless of the very disturbing undercurrent of racism in many of these comments, the fact is that this practice – while producing adorable pictures – is not, absolutely NOT healthy and good for the animals. Even in humans, hair dye is toxic and can cause serious problems for people with many medical conditions. For instance, one of the ingredients common in dye is a trigger for Lupus disease activity and must be avoided. Also keep in mind that even as humans can have serious adverse reactions to hair dye that only comes in contact with a very small area of their skin, these dogs have dye contacting the entirety of the skin area. This is NOT good and NOT healthy, I don't care if it is Chinese, Irish, or Canadians doing it. It, simply, should not be done.
Do that to every pound dog in the USA and there would be no pound dogs. Turn cats into linxes,etc and they will go fast.
Has anybody here eatten a dog yet? As an American, I tried it in Korea...not bad. Taste more like pork than chicken
So long they have very little harm they are safe when you look at these celebrities who have every things fakes from hair, facial features, enlarge breasts, JLo's hips etc, etc. these are in human and are more harmful than the colourings ...
Quelle stupidité et manque de respect, je pense de toute façon que tous les asiatique sont un peu sots, a voir de la facon dont ils ont coupé leur forêt, a la façon dont ils se sont multipliés.... en sauvage, de la façon dont ils n'ont jamais respecté l'environnement...a la facon dont ils viennent vider nos océans, rien ne me surprend de ce peuple.
"tous les asiatique sont un peu sots"? Tous? c'est raciste ce que vous avez dit monsieur. c'est trop extrême ce que vous avez dit, et c'est dangereux. faut changer la façon dont vous pensez en matière de "tous".
this is some of the best shit i've ever seen
when the chinese are not dyeing the dogs this is what they do... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAvsm1Yer5w
Everyone needs to stop talking about animal abuse and see the real meaning of the story. They're doing it to celebrate the opening of a new pet park. I find it very creative and cute. America is no where near as creative as Asian countries. It's also no where near as open-minded as them either. I could say more, but that would not flow with what I'm trying to say.
It's better than eating them.
For those up in arms about how dyeing animal fur counts as abuse.... the story says the animals were PAINTED.
Wow, all these EMOTIONAL comments!! Why?
So why do some dog "lovers" scream at dog painting while they cut/mutilate the tails of their own dogs?
But I believe both acts reflect the self-centered desires of pet owners to shape / control things, people, and animals to their own liking. And thus, when these so-called pet lovers see others treating pets in a different way (painting instead of cutting), they lash out emotionally - because they want control ("hey you all need to treat your pet my way") - but they can't control - and so they lash out.
The rest of us? True torture/killing aside, we hold a more "live and let live" attitude. I wish people will stop painting their dogs and stop cutting off their tails - but oh well...
Don't be prejudiced to any country's people. Any of them isn't that stupid as you think or other's said. To be smart and generous, you will find a better life.
Really people, with all that is going on in the world, we have to discuss dying your pets hair. Try to look at the big picture, if we don't get our civilization and planet back in order then we won't have a chance for survival.
yes i understand that writing this kinda contradicts what i wrote, i was just compelled to try.
Dog ownership especially when it invloves one dog is a form of slavery. We just don't place ourselves at their level, we assume for the most part they are happy. If you are going to own a dog get two, so at least they have someone to communicate with.
This trend actually started in Japan.
well its not that who started it, this is some thig trying to finishing reality of Animals, yest this is Art but pls dont try on innocent Animals, this is some thing you are doing with life, adopt a chiled and do with him and see what happen just becouse human have voice, and animal dont ?
For starters this is adorable, some ppl might not think so but I love it! Also this is a form of art. ppl have forever been expressing themselves through art. This just happens to be done on a slightly different canvas.
. And I also want to point out how this proves that Asian countries are 100 times more creative then Americans! On behalf of wither this is harming the animals or not I gotta say if it was really harming them then they wouldn't be doing it. Most ppl don't set off to harm animals on a daily basis, and I don't think this is harming them. I myself am an animal lover and I would be one of the first ppl to condemn this if I thought this was hurting them.-there is no proof to show that this is the case. This is no worse then shaving an animal, and I can almost guarantee that the dogs are LOVING! the extra attention. For ppl that are comparing this to docking tales and declawing, this is not even in the same ballpark. declawing and docking is permanent, this can be shaved right off. Also what we do everyday to animals is alot worse then what we would ever do to ourselves.
Also it says in the article that they painted them -so mute point on dyeing!
-(like what this person said)Andrianna
Everyone needs to stop talking about animal abuse and see the real meaning of the story. They're doing it to celebrate the opening of a new pet park. I find it very creative and cute. America is no where near as creative as Asian countries. It's also no where near as open-minded as them either. I could say more, but that would not flow with what I'm trying to say.
ITS SO CUTE, IM GOING TO DIE!!! 可爱
I'm a hairdresser and a dog owner (white german shepherd) first thing first, theres no way you can colour hair that white colour if its brown or black in the beginning, and every one that owns a white dog can see that theese dogs where white in the beginning, and if the colour is harmless why all the fuzz about it, my dogs love when they get attention i can guess its no worse than shampooing your dog and seriously I dont think its wrong to groom dogs, I would never colour my dogs because I dont think its pretty but I think that its no more animal abuse than cutting their claws, brushing their teeth, grooming their hair and so on, whatahell, humans eat cows,pigs and other animals, we use horses to ride on and you dont think thats animal abuse, stop worrying about this nonsense and care about the chinese furfarms or the poor chickens all over the world who live in small cages whit poo allover themselves or the dolphins that get slaughter every yaer and those who get catched so we can watch them in captivity in zoos and so on. there are more important things to worry about than a little colour in their coats that grows out or gets washed out.
The white is the dogs natural colour, it won't have been bleached as dogs hair wouldn't take to such treatment.
Its funny how many are condeming this ritual when its been around for absolute YEARS in dog showing!!
You see veteran dogs (over 7yrs) with not one white hair on its muzzle, for example boxers that have black masks (it gets dyed trust me) the same goes for Great Danes with black masks as people think the white detracts from the overall outline of the dog. Poodles get washed in specific dog whitening shampoo (harmless) and then powered up to the hilt, Black dogs with a bit of white on them will get that undesirable white patch covered up with black boot polish. LOL how naive some people are to call the chinese over this when its EPIDEMIC in USA show circuits.
yeah, painting the animals before they eat them
Oh yeah? you actually have seen them eat their pets?
i <3 these dogs but i like polor bears better but these dogs r the cutest...
People who see this as a form of animal abuse are morons. This doesn't hurt the animals and they're likewise cared and loved for. Get a grip people! Stop being such stick in the muds.
Emily Lodine, I don't know where you're getting your facts but the Taiwanese did not raise dogs in farms to be eaten, nor where they served publicly in restaurants, not even 20 years ago.
nonsense! Traditionally Chinese, Korean and Taiwanese love eating dogs. Many still do.
..............wait........... so they do eat there dogs or they don't................ but i pretty sure they don't............... i at least hope so........ haha you gyes r crazy i agree with @enta
Reading the comments...you guys are freaking crazy
This is adorable...although i would be wary of the toxicity of the dyes when it comes to my babies and also i am in love with who they are...if i wanted a panda I WOULD get a panda.
I am very curious, how would you get a panda?
Wow I read through all of these comments...
No one can really say whether the dye used on the dogs was toxic or not. If you wash a white dog in red kool-aid you will get a pink dog. Totally safe and the dog will smell terrific, I know, I dyed my chicken's under fluff (the softer parts of the feathers closer to the skin, mainly for warmth) pink to give her that cotton candy/sherbert ice cream look. I don't go parading with her all over the place though, it's weird when people wanna show it off.
Kool-Aid and food coloring is a cheap and fun way to dye your pets. Plus my chicken loved the warm bath!
I do not approve of day old chicks that are dyed and are sold on holidays as novelty items. That dyeing process is just sick, and they die because of people who buy them and can't care for them properly.
I have a white silkie hen who has a blue heart in her fluff (silkies lack barbicels, so they don't have regular feathers). The dye I mainly use is Kool-Aid.
They may have not used KA or food coloring, but who am I to say they used some chemical filled goop? I think the pictures are very cute.
I go with Calla!
The incompetence of these pet owners is shocking. It is cruel and heartless when pervading such a harsh coloured dye through animal fur and rather sadistic to think that owners would alter the appearance of their pets purely to gain attention. Simply put, pets are animals, NOT human beings and therefore they have no say in the matter. It seems rather superficial to raise an animal as a seasonal trend. However, if this is your prime intention, maybe invest in a designer handbag instead.
woah....
STOP TALKING ABOUT MY DOGS!!!!!!!..:(
those are your dogs?? awesome!
LOL! so if i wanted to paint my dog like a tiger.... it would be a bad idea??
she would look sooo cool! shes a golden retreiver just like in that picture............... but after reading the commets i starting to think i shouldn't.
One Word: DISGUSTING!
The dogs really don't look that distressed at all, as long as the owners have checked that their pets aren't allergic to the product beforehand properly, i personally don't think it's a massive deal as long as your pet isn't distressed of affected. It's not an uncommon thing to dye dogs hair, you see it all the time on American TV with girls dying their dogs pink etc, just not animal print, if anything the animal print's better.
Absolutely this. If people want to do this, I don't see why they shouldn't as long as the put the health of the animal first. A test patch on it's skin to see if there is any adverse reaction, and to see if they continue to act normally. Plus, as far as aesthetics go, animal print is 100% more awesome than a doggy sweater any day.
where did you see this picture of such a high detail? Ty Tymkovich Tyrone Tymkovich.
Creative is a painting, creative is decorating your wall. If someone went nuts on a kid and dyed their skin wouldn't you call that sick? Maybe it's safe but these are living beings we seriously need to respect them a bit more.
This is cruelty..!!
this is crule
but its cute if it does not harm the animal
Sup with china and china man.they don't got nothing else to do.let me paint u like panda n tiger take u outside.chinese r fake n bs
This is absolutely disgusting and typical of the Chinese!
Dogs are dogs, they are not dolls! Dying them to appear like a panda or tiger must purely be for some sort of bizarre status it is immoral and quite frankly abuse. Whoever would do this must have severe psychological issues...
The Chinese are disgusting.
Racist.
Oh and FYI I'm not American, before any Chinese person uses that as there only valid defence.
Alex needs to get laid or find a hobby or something.
Only a senseless moron would say this is animal cruelty...r u kidding me? Dyeing hair is animal cruelty?? Get real people we do it to ourselves all the time.. I could understand if this was some sort of painful process but I don't se anything that suggest that. Dogs who eat poop , roll around I dirt, and lick there own wounds r not going to care wat color hair they have...there's always a group of people who that have a problem wit anything...dumb
If people like you did not exist at all, the world would be a nicer place to live, I wish you all disappear suddenly and don't come back, it is surprising that you have a brain to write.
Rightttt im soooo cruel n evil because I don't belief it's cruel to dye an animal hair...ur right it's me that sounds unreasonable..lol..I'm sure u have a pet that u put a collar on with a leash..but that def not cruelty right? Or that fact that u probably eat meat..that's not cruelty either right? But dyeing a dogs hair, well that's just horrific huh...lol, incredibly hypocritical...but as I said, there's always someone thaT complains about something
Stop this animal cruelty you idiots!!!! Those dogs are highly more sophisticated then your tiny brains, I wish they had the chance, then they would paint art master pieces on you, not just pandas or tigers. Screw you people!!!
than*
the dog dont give a dam
that kid in the top picture's really adorable(:
I've found reading many of the comments here quite disturbing. I'm a vet nurse, shelter worker and a dog trainer. I've worked with animals for 40 years. I have serious concerns about the safety of the dyes used but I also wonder why anyone would even want to do that to their dogs, but them I also don't understand people dressing their dogs in stupid outfits like little four-legged humans. Dogs are dogs, not children and not tigers or pandas.
As for comparing this with tail docking or ear cropping, well I live in Australia and ear cropping has never been allowed here in my lifetime. Tail docking has now been made illegal in several states and it is expected that this will be national soon. Even the mulesing of sheep is facing strong opposition and many sheep farmers have ceased it. Yes we have some puppy mills but The RSPCA is working hard to stamp those out.
I can't see how face-painting of children is relevant to the discussion when taht is not a permanent dye.
It is about time we all realised that having a child or a pet is a privilege not a right and we should treat each with respect and appreciation without trying to turn them into something they are not.
Your comments are more like mine than some of others, so yes, I agree with you. I don't even like "clothes" or costumes on my little Maltese. She is my second. I lost my beloved Joey to a coyote 6 years ago, I still can't say how he was taken and what happened to him. It was like losing one of my children to a murderer. Yes, dogs are dogs, but if you feel like treating one like more than "just a dog", that's your business, But painting dogs to look like other animals? why don't you just get a lion or panda as a "pet". I know, some people do. And if the "wild animal" turns on you, you deserve it!
Sorry about the typos above!!
Julie, Tom, Buck, Susie, and whatever other faux American (Chinese) posters, you should probably just stop trying to defend this. You will be hard pressed and I mean, hard pressed to find ANY American who will actually find this practice acceptable...at all. If there's one thing about this country, when it comes to pets, and dogs in particular, they're quit loved and people go to prison for a very long time for causing them harm. It may not seem that bad, but I'll be honest – I personally found these pictures pretty disturbing...
LttlGTO
Then, we had better be prepared to arrest all of the beauticians in America. At least 25% of the american public engages in this barbaric hair/fur dying ritual....let's get real people.
hnestly i doubt the dog gives a dam can everyone quit complaining how bout you buy a dog and keeep him any color you want to ....people are so dumb especially the person who said that dogs on leashes is animal abuse?? seriously??? let them do what they want? sure let them run into roads causing people to wreck or some dogs possibly killing someone yous so dumb
btw im american and this is probably one of the coolest things i have ever seen
Humans dye their hair....
I'm American... I can't have real tiger as pet. But I want that TIGER DOG!!!
They look like Lady Gaga!!! These dogs are more loved and pampered. They should use non toxic and non allergenic dyes. Biggest number of comments. Dogs are more interesting than politics and the economy!!! Unfortunate??
I find it disgusting. Chows usually come in a reddish or black colour (you get cream coloured ones as well), so that
must mean some kind of chemical bleaching takes place. How can that be good for any animal or even people for that matter? Nope, not cool at all.
Great blog! I just added it to my bookmarks.
Took me some time to read all the comments, but I really like your post. It proved to be very helpful to me and I am sure to all the readers here! It's always nice when you can not only be informed, but also engaged! I'm sure you had fun writing this post.
I agree with you, but please look at yonex badminton rackets.
Hello! fdadddk interesting fdadddk site! I'm really like it! Very, very fdadddk good!
Hello! dacaagc interesting dacaagc site! I'm really like it! Very, very dacaagc good!
Chow Chows already look like bears/lions, why dye them? There perfect the way they are.
when i ate deners's chinese dog the dye upset my stomach. i had the runs the next morning.
Cool! I'm gonna have my ferocious weiner dog painted up to look like a tiger! That oughta scare the robbers away!
you idiots.
I won't go to the extreme to say that this is animal abuse, but this is surely excessive. The fact that these people think their dogs will look cuter if they are colored and literally resemble another animal is sad. Even if the dog's don't realize how ridiculous they look, I still think it is unfair to drastically modify their appearance via use of harsh chemicals. Don't have a dog (or insert any other animal) if you can't appreciate it's own natural beauty.
And I am asking my American representatives to suspend relations with China until they get rid of this barbaric practice.

It would be so funny if one day we could communicate with all animals be it in the home or zoos and so on and they turned around and said to all these organization like PETA why don't you just F.OFF and leave us alone we hate the wild we like being pampered ,we like being feed at regular times and not have to worry about starvation and drought and being killed by poachers or being killed by a predator ,if any body is cruel its you for wanting to put us in that position so (LEAVE US ALONE).
Oh my goodness! Those poor dogs look just like panda bears. Tanya Monique Glascoe
Hello, I like to find out more on this topic. I appreciate you for publishing this.
Respect,
quite true, but it looks like Chinese people have some trouble with the chow-chow and other pets as well. they either dye them, which by me is a total FAD, OR THEY SKIN THEM ALIVE FOR THEIR FUR... CRAZY WORLD WE LIVE IN ,IS IT NOT?>
As humans we have the CHOICE to decide whether we want to put piercings on us, or put tattoos on our bodies or shave or dye our hair, However ANIMALS (Dogs in this case) DO NOT have the ability to say yes or no, we do not know what the LONG TERM or SHORT TERM affects will be for an animal, so I think that this should STOP be outlawed, if they love their animals now, and are embracing them instead of eating them, then they should love them THE WAY THEY ARE, NOT try to make them look like a Tiger or a Panda or any other animal... Simply love the DOG for what it is a DOG, A PET, A COMPANION, & A FRIEND!!!
for the people saying its inhumane allow me to shed some light on this situation.
http://agirlandherdogs.hubpages.com/hub/panda-dog
this article tells a story of the first panda dog and why he did it. read the whole thing please. the dye isn't people dye,
http://www.bigdogboutique.com/productcart/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=18460
this is what the dye really its just natural and pet safe
http://www.ehow.com/how_2222539_dye-dogs-fur-safely.html
or they use this
i rest my case look up stuff before assuming that people are that stupid. if the owners care about thier pets they look stuff up before going on playing a guessing game and assuming human dye is safe. they look to see if they hae pet dye just like they now make eyeliner for men oh yes went thier.
The fast black
A speedy black
I see no harm in it, like food coloring or kool aid, or stuff specially made for animals, now if it were regular human hair dye id be worried, plus they how do you people know that they dont care how they look?? A lot of pets are like their owners. plus come on im sure you would be able to tell if your dog liked being blue, pink, or panda colored or not. so as long as its not harmful in anyway get over it people!!!!!
I can say that minkyu is so cool. Thanks for the helpful post.
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Just get a real tiger?
lol its just an animal u stupid peta libral loving idiots so if your against them doing that with SAFE dye are you against eating a burger (with out pink slim of course) because that animal was killed and made into food? OH NO animals dont have choices ...................come on the stupidity has to stop somewhere the animals who are getting painted im pretty sure wont die if there using safe paint dye and the dogs arnt alergic to it so who cares well i mean i dont care and for the person who said those who put a leash on a dog should be leashed for life? Come on thats just plain out stupd

I simply could not depart your website before suggesting that I really enjoyed the standard information a person supply in your guests? Is going to be again continuously to inspect new posts
Great points altogether, you just received a new reader. What may you suggest in regards to your put up that you simply made a few days in the past? Any certain?
I've read a few excellent stuff here. Definitely value bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how so much effort you set to create this sort of excellent informative website.
Pet Laws around the world most certainly look strange to Americans and British citizens. Those of us from these two nations have the Founder of the Humane Society to thank for our concern and behavior toward animals.
Laws in other country's are quite different and seem to run toward the extreme on both sides. In Germany, it's illegal to leave dogs home alone. They are never allowed off leash and must be under the supervision of a person at all times.
In some country's yes, they are still on the menu. I recall seeing Animal dyes on e-bay just 3 years ago. We did see Multicolored dogs on a Animal Planet Dog beauty show about 3 years ago. Who ever though up dog dye isn't my idea of a good pet owner, nor would I ever dye my dogs. The very idea is another form of hiding behind reality. Dogs are all beautiful in their own fur.
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He used to be totally right. This publish actually made my day. You can not imagine simply how a lot time I had spent for this info! Thank you!
Do you think this is an improvement? They've been eating cats and dogs not knowing eating their dead has more respect, then bear farms, fox farms in Russia and so on.....what a horror. Something has gone badly wrong in evolution of man!
You understand thus considerably relating to this subject, made me for my part believe it from so many numerous angles. Its like women and men don't seem to be involved until it's something to accomplish with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs excellent. All the time take care of it up!
You can dye your pet anyway you like if you are willing to let an outsider dye your aged mother or your toddlers hair.
Hello There. I discovered your weblog using msn. This is a very well written article. I'll be sure to bookmark it and come back to learn extra of your useful info. Thanks for the post. I will definitely comeback.
they change the pets appearance, but every person in China looks like Moe from the Three Stooges.
Paint them before you eat them I guess.
The same as putting hot sauce on a taco.
I am down with it......as long as they dont eat them.
anyone who criticizing making up for pets, do u eat chicken in KFC, and do u eat pork, or any other...
Just calm down, man, why u always mention about your so-called "democracy" ?
I like Americans and like your culture as well, but you make almost everything we chinese did connected to "democracy",
is that a little..?
making up pets says we love animal, especially dogs, we always think dogs are human beings friends, I used to have a dog too, and I make up for her, seems she is very happy. making up comes with love, so she is happy.. U understand this? and, if we don't make up, or do not do anything,don't talk to him, and let it be the way he is, that says we love animal???
In one way, it looks cute and unique, but from the point of view from my four legged friend, I think it is kind of cruel. I don't know how toxic the dye is to the animal, but i am working on the assumption it hurts.
Test it on the chinaman!
If we were to test it on a Chinaman, does this qualify as a human trial?
barney frank would make a good panda
He'd be better as a donkey or an ass!
Finally! The Chinese come up with something creative on their own without steeling it from us.
Let the chinese paint their dogs – at least they stopped eating them? However, theres certainly enough of the chines to put THEM on the menu!
This is wrong on so many levels. Animals have no say in what "stupid" human do to them. Fads are pathetic. If you want to do something different, be creative with yourself instead. Enough!
What is wrong with this world!
OMG GUYZZ!!! so cruueeeel!!!! stupid damn chinese cause nothing butt truble.! they evn made sussi with real fish! they need 2 b stoped b4 they attack! whos with me mricans????? <3
INSANE EXPLOITATION OF ANIMALS! NOTHING LESS!
It's the best time to make some plans for the longer term and it's time to be happy. I have learn this submit and if I could I want to counsel you some fascinating things or suggestions. Maybe you could write next articles regarding this article. I desire to read more issues about it!
I don't care what it is. If it shlts on my lawn, it's DEAD!!!!!!!!!!! Hahahahahahaha
If all you haters think that is exploitation and animal abuse then you are dumb. Exploitation is people having pets in the first place! They were once wild animals but that has been stripped away by integration and breeding. We've already gone as far as to keep a pet so why not paint them a pretty colour. Im sure they dont mind. We all love to be pampered. As long as the die is non-toxic then who cares. I wouldn't do it to my pet but, hey, to each their own. http://animals.howstuffworks.com/pets/how-to-dye-dog-hair.htm
Don't be fooled by this articles flippant dismissal of perhaps the Taiwanese not eating dog anymore, because in the town I lived in outside of Shanghai, my Chinese students were more than happy to not only tell me how delicious dog meat tastes but they also gave me a detailed list of the most tasty colors of dog, from Black (the most delicious), all the way down to White (apparently not very tasty because indeed they were everywhere in my city). It's still very popular and yep, it does taste a bit like frog's legs.
THIS, i why i don't consider China a threat, they're all living the lives of 4 year olds.
sick
everyone here is concerned about the dogs getting dyed, i was thinking that they escaped getting eating. Chow chows are food in China.
As a Taiwanese, I have to say this part in this article is NOT TRUE at all-
"In Taiwan, for example, just 10 years ago, dogs were still eaten in public restaurants and raised on farms for that purpose."
I am 33 year old and I never see any public restaurant selling dogs meat in Taiwan through out my life.
Please stop making FALSE report. And please don't mix up Taiwan and China. Taiwan and China are two different country.
Everyone on here is so annoying! shut up, Its not abuse!... these dogs look sooooooo adorable!!!!!! I WANT A BABY CHOW SO I CAN HAVE HIM PAINTED LIKE A FLUFFY PANDA TOO! =)

It is truly a nice and useful piece of information. I am glad that you simply shared this useful information with us. Please stay us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for some other wonderful article. Where else could anybody get that type of information in such an ideal manner of writing? I've a presentation next week, and I am on the search for such info.
Woah this blog is excellent i really like studying your posts. Keep up the great paintings! You know, a lot of people are looking round for this information, you can help them greatly.
Yes! Lets all talk about the inhumane treatment of dogs in china.....Lets make them play with their own toys and give them all lead poisoning..http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=china+toys+with+lead&qpvt=china+toys+with+lead&FORM=IGRE.......Better yet lets do like they do and and kill our female babies..www.gendercide.org/case_infanticide.html...Duhhhhh...Wake up...Its China the same people that evicted residents from their homes for the Olympics...http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Beijing+residents+stage+protest+over+Olympic+eviction-a01611597252....
..It doesnt matter what they do to their dogs..
These type of things are why America is a better place to live...Too bad they couldn't be as free as us. Although I wouldn't be surprised to see us in another revolution soon with the politics going the way they are....Not trying to be political...China needs to feel the same release from their government that all the other countries that we have interfered into does. Free China!! and Syria, Libya, Uzbekistan, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, North Korea etc....
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You appear to grasp so much about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something. I feel that you simply could do with a few percent to drive the message home a little bit, however other than that, this is great blog. A great read. I will definitely be back.
Hey there, You've done a great job. I will certainly digg it and personally recommend to my friends. I am sure they'll be benefited from this web site.

dyeing is a dying art !
This kinda looks crazy, why not just animals be what they really are.Damske hodinky should not turn into sperky hodinky.

dear idiots who think that dyes aren't harmful:
you are idiots.
having said that, i have no issue with using food coloring or other more benign dyes on pets. people do that a lot here for halloween parades. however, i just watched the actual CNN report about this because it was shown to my students a few days ago, and they DO use bleach and then regular human dye. not all of them but a lot of them. i actually watched them bleach a terrier's hair around the eyes and face as they held it down, then shampoo'd it, then applied heaping amounts of green dye because they wanted it to look like a turtle. A TURTLE. then getting an freaking turtle!
here's another issue: according to vets in china, people have taken regular black and white kittens and dyed them to look like seal point siamese so they can fetch a higher price at the market. many die from the harsh chemicals alone, others have serious skin issues afterwards (yeah, really safe dye their using, folks). the ones that do survive eventually get thrown out because the owners see later that they aren't actual siamese cats. seriously, eff these guys.
I have enjoyable with, foundation I discovered just what I was attractive a look on behalf of. You have useless my 4 sunlight hours lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Boast a trivial sunlight hours. Bye strona http://www.budowlane.webege.com
they dont say what kind of dye is used for all you know it could be a vegtabul dye which people in other countrys use like in America and im not saying all of you but to some of the people who are saying how cruel it is do you look at every single product you use ? ie. shampoo, conditoners and make up if you do not cheak the bottels you uses there is a chance you are useing products that are tested on animals and you are just being as sick and crule as these people (if it is bad dye) so some of you need to look at what your doing befor getting on others cases and another thing the animal that are being dyed aree getting lots of attention and good treatmet and would be very healthy i would much rather be like the dyed animals then the animals (dogs) that are eatin and befor eatin are in tightly back cages sceard and ill and struggling to breath and getting ripped apart by other animals in the cage or the dogs who are in the same cruel conditions who are skinned alive and yes fully awear of whats happering the just cut in to and there skin just ripped stright off and then when there still alive just chucked in to a big bin with the rest of the dieing animal.
so to be quite honest if i was in china i would much rather be pamperd and then dyed the getting skinned or eaten then die
Massage involves working and acting on the body with pressure – structured, unstructured, stationary, or moving – tension, motion, or vibration, done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, skin, joints, or other connective tissue, as well as lymphatic vessels, or organs of the gastrointestinal system. Massage can be applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, knees, forearm, or feet.
Does anyone actually think the dogs mind?
If I was a dog in China I'd be more concerned about being someones lunch than having my hair dyed to look like another wild animal.
lol I know how weird this might be, and yes, I,m aware of animal rights and blah blah blah but us as humans seem to love tampering with things and I actually have no problem with making a dog look like a panda. I find it kinda cute.
and face it, the dogs don't care, unlike humans they wont get depressed because of a bad hair do.
Very nice article and straight to the point. I am not sure if this is really the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thx

Whatever. This will blow over. Bored people. For the record, dolphins and whales (cetaceans) are the only other ensouled species on this planet besides ourselves. They possess a mantle of reason and to harm them or kill them produces a karmic ribbon, the same as it would to harm or kill another human. All other animals are hive souls. No, this is not a religious viewpoint.
