ok.. I was listening to the radio this morning.. the announcers were talking about how they want the listeners to send photos of their pets in holloween costumes....
like this...
then all the sudden they were told that they have a caller who didn't like the idea and they talked to the woman....
she told the listeners that she has been a member of PEDA for many years and told people how she totally objected putting animals through the whole "ordeal" of wearing a halloween costume... she kept saying "their costumes will get snagged on something...they will react in a not so normal way and they will get killed...."
I mean really, I've never heard of a pet dying from snagging of a halloween costume...
she also kept saying "you know, pets have feelings too... are you willing to embarass dogs just to get a laugh......it's cruel to do that to an animal"...and so on...
after she called everyone else called in to object to her statement... "my dog loves putting on a football jersey and he parades around in the house", one woman said...
another woman told listeners that her dogs need to wear sweaters or they will die of coldness (cause in Minnesota it gets to -40 below in the winter)
I mean seriously... I don't think animals are dying from wearing costumes... I just think that if your animal enjoys wearing one, let them wear it... I don't think you harm them in any way by dressing them up for a holiday...
what do you think???
do you dress your animal in a costume for halloween??

. The day an animal dies from clothing 
. However, I don't make a habit out of it. Dressing your dog, cat, or whatever is just stupid. Why? Because it JUST does NOT look RIGHT because its not in their nature.
