Yes, that's Paris Hilton in a real ad. Check out the dog's face! Priceless.
At the Unwanted Blog they have a post entiled Animal Abuse By Other Means:
Puppy-mill dog breeders are rightly reviled. But mutant broken dog breeders are not. I think that this inconceivable disconnect is due to class: puppy mills are examples of dogs being tortured for poor people, while “Kennel Club” breeders are doing it for the Upper Class Twits Of The Year. And so just as a homeless crack whore is seen as unseemly, Paris Hilton - who I have trouble seeing as really any different, except for money - is seen by far too many as a role model.
.
I can remember when Paris got a kinkajou, which are advertised as nice little pets. However, they are wild animals and they have been known to attack.
ReplyDeleteBaby Luv, as she named the poor creature, bit Paris. Paris was rushed to the emergency room, where she was given a tetanus shot.
Thank goodness the California authorities confiscated Baby Luv after that incident. Otherwise, California shelters would be full of prehensile-tailed procyonids instead of Chihuahua.
No more chihuahuas in handbags.
ReplyDeleteIt's no African domestic hedgehogs: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/6784317/African-pygmy-hedgehogs-become-latest-handbag-accessory.html
Those domestic hedgehogs are a hybrid population of Four-toed hedgehogs of Sub-Saharan Africa and the Algerian hedgehog of North Africa, which has been introduced to France, Spain, and the Canary islands.
These poor hedgehogs are heavily inbred in captivity and actually require a lot of exercise in to be kept humanely in captivity.
