In my point of view this is ridiculous and needs stopping

We are a bloody awful species really

No we aren't. Some people are bloody awful. Most aren't.

I really dislike all the anti-humanism floating around nowadays, helped on its way by sainted misanthropes in the public sphere.

Look at ourworldindata.org and humanprogress.org

As a species we have improved and we still are doing.

Which doesn't mean no bad things happen because some people are wicked and or stupid.

Ohh there’s some sick frickers around. I don’t like people who put bows in their dog’s hair, either, or dress them up with silly coats.

Animals should be allowed their dignity.
Unfortunately, only the very few are.
We are a bloody awful species really sad

While ever dogs are regarded as accessories by some people, stuff like this will happen. I doubt it's actualy cruel – not like breeding dogs with squashed noses so they're susceptible to breathing difficulties. After all, is dyeing the hair of a human being cruel? One wouldn't think so given how many people do it to themselves or have it done.

Ridiculous-but wasn’t there a competition program about decorating dogs a while back? I saw one episode-just as silly and IMI unkind as this.

It is ridiculous and not the way to treat any animal. Sadly, dogs, especially poodles, with dyed fur have been around for a long time. These stupid women should not be given publicity.

I've just been watching this. I've never seen anything so ridiculous. What is the world coming to?

No human is forced to have their hair coloured so why do they think it’s ok to put an innocent animal through it?
IMO it’s just cruel and thoughtless.

Yes, it’s been going on for years, it is awful.
I’m surprised that This Morning is condoning it now.

Or am I surprised?

I haven’t watched TM since the glory days of Richard & Judy, but Im aware of happens at ITV daytime, and it’s not exactly edifying.

Noooo, some idiots will do it this now 😡

I'm not a dog lover but this is awful. Those silly women. This is not new unfortunately. They had a piece about this years ago in This Morning.

Just switched on to This morning I m not usually in so don’t watch it normally but I m so disgusted to see a couple of women who have set up a business of colouring dogs as an art project called Picasso poodles They made the point that the dye is natural and not harmful to the dogs but that’s not the point a dog isn’t a blooming canvas it should nt have to go through a period every month or two of being ‘painted’
Get yourselves a canvas and easel ladies
This has made me so cross on behalf of the dogs and because of all the idiots who will follow this ‘trend’ holly willoby and Alison Hammond were oohing and ahhing and admiring

A dog is an animal not a flipping mural everything that is bad about our treatment of animals these days
