Cat Tattooing in Moscow, Russia - 20 Feb 2009
SICK PET TATTOO CRAZE SWEEPS RUSSIA
Animal rights campaigners have slammed a cruel new craze in Russia that has sprung up for so-called animal 'lovers'.
Rather than the traditional cat / dog grooming services, some Russians are now choosing to personalise their pets with tattoos.
Just one of the pets to undergo this kind of controversial 'body enhancement' is Mickey, a rare Canadian Hairless breed also known as a Sphynx cat.
After being knocked out, a Tutankhamun design was inked on to Mickey's chest as part of a three hour procedure.
Afterwards, his female owner declared herself delighted with the 'cattoo', saying she had wanted "something new and different for these new exiting times we live in ".
The practice has been slammed as barbaric and the fear is now that the trend will catch on amongst wealthy pet owners in the West.
"The ethical thinking about animals in Russia lags behind the West. People here mostly buy animals for selfish reasons. Everything else that happens to them afterwards is a consequence of that," comments activist Irina Novozhilova.
