Hailey Degnera groomer from Illinois (USA), has been the subject of numerous controversies following some of her posts on TikTok.
Passionate about her work, she decided to show his skills on social media, but he did it to the detriment of the good of the dogs he takes care of in his shop.
And it has gone too far: this is the opinion of many internet users who are fed up with a certain type of practice involving animals for the human entertainment.
Da cane a Grinch
Hailey recently posted a video of a Miniature Schnauzer transformed into the Grinch, the famous grumpy character who hates Christmas.
Except that the dog wasn’t just given a new haircut and put on some accessories… The furbaby was also colored green.
Although the request came directly from the owner of the four-legged friend, the professional has received many negative comments.
The dangers of dyes on animals
Although some argue that these colors are not necessarily harmful, they also pose other types of problems: the dye made to the dog will change even the smell of his fur as well as his appearance.
This can create imponderables communication difficulties between the colored dog and its fellows, with consequent psychological discomfort of the animal.
Several US states have already taken position against animal coloring: Florida, South Carolina and Maine.
The petition
To give more resonance to this controversial practice which is increasingly gaining ground in public opinion, some Internet users have decided to launch a petition asking primarily to social networks to take a stand against the exploitation of animals.
As stated in the petition, broadly speaking, social networks should not encourage their members to use animals to promote themselves and their businesses to gain notoriety.
The power of social networks
They have undeniably occurred in recent years worrying trends on the webwhich often put animals in real danger, also causing them real suffering.
Social networks, due to their position and weight in public opinion, especially young people, obviously have an important role to play in safeguarding respect for the rights and sensitivity of animals.
