Artist and animal advocate Anna Tuchkova spoke about why dyeing wool can be dangerous for pets.
Tuchkova emphasized that the use of natural paints, such as charcoal, colored clay or sand, does not pose a threat to the health of the animal. However, in most cases, industrial paints that lack natural ingredients are used, which can lead to poisoning, writes ridus.ru.
She noted that when she saw photographs of animals that were fully or partially painted, she was shocked. This fashion is unacceptable, since the chemicals contained in chemical paints are poisonous to living beings.
Environmental safety expert Roman Potolovsky added that dyes, when they get on the skin of animals, can cause burns, and when licked, they enter the stomach, which can lead to acute poisoning. In addition, dyes can cause allergic reactions.
Potolovsky noted that it is now difficult to find a veterinarian or grooming specialist who will agree to dye an animal’s fur without first checking for allergies.
The ecologist emphasized that forced coloring of animals does not bring them any benefit and only serves as entertainment for their owners.
Some owners prefer to give their pets less hazardous opportunities for self-expression, for example, by creating special viewing areas for them.
