Why are dogs being used as accessories?

answers1: I agree. What is potentially more disturbing is the newest
"fad" of celebrities having kids - basically babies as fashion
accessories. It's a sick world. <br>
<br>
Makes me wanna go home and hug my dog!
answers2: I saw an undergraduate girl walking a new puppy of some tiny
breed on a leash on campus. The pup was pulling and sniffing and
running around. The girl was completely exasperated and said in an
astounded voice, "OMG, do all dogs act like this?!" Yes, honey they
do; that is how healthy puppies act. <br>
<br>
One problem is the media and fashion industry hyping dogs as
accessories (Thank you, Project Runway!) rather than animal
companions. The other problem is lax parents who allow their daughters
to buy into the trend and will buy them a $2500 yorkie puppy that will
be carried like a doll until the next trend sweeps through. <br>
<br>
I had a co-worker tell me that she was looking for a tiny breed puppy
for her daughter to carry around. The daughter was 8. What a good
mother. <br>

When did society "become" shallow? Our mothers and grandmothers were
not allowed to vote because they were women, and were legally
considered property. Racially-based slavery was frighteningly recent
in the U.S. Slavery in the sex trade is a booming business worldwide.
Wake up. Society is not only shallow, but cruel. And kind. The fact
that some people actually care about animal welfare is in fact an
improvement in society (sad, but true).
answers3: There are people who take their dogs everywhere because they
really don't want to be away from them. Then there are people who use
them as accessories, like Paris Hilton. She thinks that the dog, or
the monkey (she did have a monkey), or whatever she has will give her
more attention and that is a positive. When her dog went missing it
was a big deal, drama and everything surrounding an animal when she
doesn't go to events to help children or the poor. Celebrities, or
whatever Paris is, is shallow so we shouldn't expect that she can take
care of a dog because it doesn't seem like she can take care of
herself. Anyone who looks up to Paris as a role model needs help, and
I think that it is individuals who are shallow not our society.
answers4: I agree its wrong to carry a dogs as accessories dogs are
bought for companioinship and loyalty they also help ppl. They r not
to make u look good in public! This is just wronge. oh yeah its very
shallow!
answers5: Stop worrying about how others pamper their animals. If the
animal doesn't like it they will tear at it til it comes off. As far
as short haired dogs goes, they get cold easy and like the warmth of a
little outfit. These pets are loved dearly by their owners wether you
like them or not, and that is a fine thing for a dog.
answers6: i know its wrong <br>
i hate it when paris hilton puts her dog in tiny tutu outfits <br>
i wish i could put paris hilton into a xxxxxs tiny outfit <br>
and see how she feels <br>
i hate it when dogs are being used in such a way <br>
theyre here to comfort us and love us <br>
not being used as toys
answers7: in this materialistic society, it is expectable (not
asserting i'm an exception, I too am a sufferer of such values). What
i will say inspite of the incontrovertible fact that, is that i don't
techniques in any respect, and am appreciative to those that furnish a
powerful homestead for their animals, no remember if or not they
convey them around in a handbag, Louis Vuitton bag, or gown them up
with clothier puppy clothing. i could quite that than abuse, forget,
and the different terrible techniques that folk handle their animals.
the only subject is the breeders. at present they're catering to the
prevalent look, one occasion: slanted hind legs on German Shepherds.
even inspite of the incontrovertible fact that this definitely will
enhance the prospect for arthritis, alongside with different issues
for those doggies backbone, etc. breeders proceed to reproduce them
for this needed trait.
answers8: I agree with you 100%. .. some people are shallow and
concerned with appearances and fads. Animals are not throwaways! <br>
<br>
Many thanks for the intelligent question and comments!
answers9: I *completely* agree.
answers10: This is the only thing that bothers you about Paris Hilton
and the example she is setting for today's girls? <br>
She has been seen on the internet having sex multiple times. She is
anorexic or something, her body is disgusting, but girls look at that
as something to copy. <br>
Bet you anything she is on crack. <br>
She is dumb as a stump. So stupid!!! The attention she gets tells
people it's OK to be like that. <br>
The real question is why do we allow her to tell us how we should be?
Why are parents letting their kids watch the idiot in the first place.
Parents have the power to say no and don't so, maybe another good
question is Why don't parents parent their kids?
