Dog Cosplay - Is Dressing An Animal Cruel, Or Nothing But Cute?

I read an interesting article in the paper today. It was sparked by a letter which was sent into the newpaper's agony aunt for animals. Basically a young woman was concerned about all the funny pictures that her friend had been posting onto Facebook of her cat which she constantly dressed up to take photos of for her own amusement, and of course to get a laugh out of her friends.The question was whether this was cruel to the cat in anyway.

Now the facts are that there is no law in dressing up an animal for any reason if, of course, it is not causing any major discomfort. It was suggested by the agony aunt that the friend who wrote in tried getting her other friend out of the house once in a while to try uping her social media standing with photos and news of other things! What is interesting about this from my perspective is that animal dress up is not an uncommon thing on the Internet, in fact it is extremely popular. From the analytical stats produced for my own website I have found that a large majority of my monthly searches do come from people looking to see funny dog videos or photos of animals in dress up. Particularly smaller breeds, with corgi's being the the most popular search term for dog breed. It is easy to conclude that as a large number of people who own breeds such as corgi's have them for the sake of fashion, they will want to make sure that their dogs stay fashionable as well. Dress up outfits and costumes for dogs is a multi million dollar business, with some experts estimating the market to be worth upto $301million a year.

On Cute Dog Thing we have enjoyed many photos and videos of dogs in dress up, from fantasy costumes such as a post that was published earlier this week of two dogs playing live action role play Skyrim together, and also to the photos that we get submitted to us every week. As we have now come to expect, most of these photos are of cute and funny costumes that have been bought for their dogs such as this photo of a cute chihuahua which had been bought an adorable elephant costume by its owner.
