This is a picture, taken from the BBC News website.It's a pink poodle 'gracing' a model fashion show in Madrid last week.
I call it abuse of animals and nothing else.
First of all, speciesism is bad! We should keep animals for the love of companionship, NOT in order to let other people know how well off we are in order to buy and keep such a pedigree animals.
In the streets around us, there are stray cats and dogs dying, literally, to find a loving home. Why not adopt one of them, or go to some animal sanctuary / shelter, and adopt one from there?
Particularly in Malta, the authorities should consider heavily taxing breeders of pedigrees.
That way, we will also be heavily discouraging world activity in trying to experiment with new breeds, etc.... Look at the result that man has made out of 'inventing' new breeds: the rottweiller, for example. Then, when 'nature' turns against us, we put the fault on the product of our ill-conceived - even evil! - ideas.

No one should ever get rich by selling another life, regardless of whether it is a human or an animal. We should adopt the animals that are already on this earth. Every time we choose to buy an animal rather than adopt one, an unwanted shelter animal is put to death. Why does a dog or a cat have to be a pure breed? Is a purebred dog or cat more deserving of a life than a mixed breed dog or cat? The answer is simple...NO!
