One Chinese breeder's quest for the most beautiful Tibetan mastiff has left his dog dead and set a terrible precedent.
Dear Arfin,
Breeding Tibetan Mastiffs is big business in China. The profits for the prettiest dogs can be so high that at least one breeder tried to get his dog a facelift to make him more attractive to female breeders.
Now, the dog is dead and the breeder is suing the animal hospital.
Sadly, the problem is much larger and much more insidious than this one story. The fact that a breeder even considered a drastic surgery for his dog and that the hospital agreed to perform a dangerous elective surgery sets a terrible precedent. On top of that, the high price Mr. Yu hoped to fetch for his "enhanced" mastiff would be completely dishonest. After all -- animals pass on their genes, not their cosmetic enhancements.
The government needs to step in before this cruel practice becomes a widespread trend and more animals suffer for a few ill-gotten gains.
Urge Chinese officials to ban cosmetic surgery for dogs.
