Animal Plastic Surgeries

Without noticing ourselves, people has started to notice unnecessary wrinkles on their dog's muzzles. Some face defections (long ears, tale and etc) or ''clearly'' see time effects made their pets to look less attractive for their owners.

 According to the Globaltimes news, a dog owner in Tongzhou after a forehead skin lift procedure for his dog, now are claiming that he needs a compensation, because there was a complications and a dog died after the plastic surgery. 

   Why do people take risks for their best friend's lifes? Does a forehead lift procedure, tale or ears cut really helps for a better breeding? Isn't it against the law? Are all these procedures are actually necessary?

The answers for these questions were given by AVMA. According to America Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) ''Performing a surgical procedure for cosmetic purposes (i.e., for the sake of appearance) implies the procedure is not medically indicated. Because dogs have not been shown to derive self-esteem or pride in appearance from having their tails docked (common reasons for performing cosmetic procedures on people), there is no obvious benefit to our patients in performing this procedure. The only benefit that appears to be derived from cosmetic tail docking of dogs is the owner’s impression of a pleasing appearance. In the opinion of the AVMA, this is insufficient justification for performing a surgical procedure.''
