Dying dogs fur at home with pet safe dye is actually fine and pretty common. Especially with service dogs that are often stolen because of their training the dye acts as an antitheft

[@Emzotic]

Wow I’ve never heard that with service dogs, but it makes sense. I think if you’re using dog safe dye (with a patch test first to check for allergies!) on a dog that doesn’t mind, that’s totally fine, but dying baby animals for views is really gross

Its done with chicks too, they usually dont live very long either and its not often you see an adult. Usually the adults that were dyed still have some dye but it's very faded and horrible to look at, which lets you know that they treat the baby birds as a temporary item because there's no long term thinking, omly the "oh these chicks and ducks will be so cute as colorful babies."

Yeah, I think people are forgetting the meaning behind the 'Karen' thing. It's not meant to be 'anyone who doesn't agree with you', it's meant to be for people displaying certain, very narcissistic personality traits. Getting upset and demanding a manager at every perceived slight, and insisting they should be able to do whatever they want to do and pitching a fit if anyone doesn't go along with it. Ironically, someone getting mad and insulting someone for being concerned for an animal's well being *is* Karen behavior.

[@chrisbrennan1633]

3:22 cutepetowner clip, people have weird fascination with Interspecies ""friendships"". I'm not saying Interspecies cannot happen a good example of a good Interspecies is zoos pairing dogs with cheetahs. But that is with people who know what they're doing and can read the body language a lot of these clips are just random animals being thrown together for views.

[@Its_Asteria]

And some of it is obvious mistreatment to get more views and interactions. To purposefully enrage others to get interactions with their content

[@PixieoftheWood]

Also, I think it's a better idea to do 'interspecies friendships' with animals that don't generally have a predator/prey relationship. Dogs and cats regularly get along great, for example, and sheep and goats are regularly put in the same pasture since they're known for getting along.

[@jakual339]

@@PixieoftheWood Yes. When there's a predator/prey relationship, even if the animals seem to get along fine, there's always going to be a risk of an accident. My cat is extremely chill and non-aggressive, but I'd still never dream of putting her with a rodent or bird, because she still has the instincts and ability required to do some serious damage.

[@katielouise1867]

These types of clips usually seem to use babies that probably should still be with mums. Because of that, all the babies are possibly just looking for comfort so 'snuggle' with each ot0her long enough for a quick vid?? Along with not being with mum/siblings long enough to be taught how to behave. My guess would be factory type breeding. Lots of babies. Never seem to see a parent. Younger the better??..as it will have a much quicker profit turn over. The quicker you can get rid of the babies, the quicker mum can get back to making the next lot. 😥 🤮 Too many people will buy a pet far too young....the smaller they are, the cuter they are 🤷🏻‍♀️ The animals suffering early on - needing comfort will make it appear to just love the owner so so so much. Later suffering - most likely, behaviour issues due to never learning how to behave from mum etc. Don't think anything even needs to be said about the amount of health problems due to crappy breeding and total lack of care. I think it's quite unlikely most of them will make it too far through life anyway. But hey, these crappy people made some quick cash, bonus tiktok vids that are stupidly popular (which really says a lot about the world we live in 🙄) and when the babies start to develop health problems, they probably have all the reasons as to why its the new owner's fault for not taking care if it 🤷🏻‍♀️ These poor little accessories are very disposable, so who cares right?....just go get a new one. They always seem to have plenty ready go 😔 It's probably part of the fun for stupid people....."ooo what colour should we get when this one's dead?" Sorry....my brain goes into blah blah blah mode when I get this angry. *aaaaand breath*

[@sarahsherwood8530]

What scares me most about the pig and guinea pigs is that certain pigs have a tendency to put things in their mouths. I used to work with a group of pigs that would mouth at the ends of my work boots and one of those pigs grabbed a rat that got into their pen and ate it. (I have no idea how they grabbed it I just caught them in the act, unfortunately it would have been too unsafe for me to remove the rat from their mouths). The pigs I worked with were Tamworth and Wild boar crosses so were a little less manageable than most pigs and the one in the video definitely seems like a pet but I still had my heart in my throat there

[@elisak7466]

I was so scared for those guinea pigs because they have quite fragile bones and one kick from that pig could seriously hurt them or even kill them

[@Vilajala]

After watching your videos on 'cute' animal cruelty videos a while ago, I've started commenting and trying to educate people who post those videos on other platforms, and I usually tell them to look up your videos, and people are quite shocked because they don't realize the animals are being abused

[@curiositykilledthecat5118]

why the hell did they dye their ducks? That is really bad for them.

[@Emzotic]

It was so sad and unnecessary!

[@kagehikari4281]

Because the "people" doing it are doing a bit purely for views and view living animals as props/toys and dye to make them more "cute" and attractive to lure in unsuspecting people to watch and get them more traffic. Essentially the same as bright colors and sound effects used in children's programs.

[@PaintballShyguy]

I'm sure they just see it as "playing with their food" anyways.

[@mothturtle7897]

It's completely covered their feet and beaks too. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they just fully dunked the poor things in dye to achieve this.

[@PaintballShyguy]

Ok, not much makes me bust out laughing but "stinky slinkys" got me.

[@eya221]

I believe the reason the ducklings are colored is because often around Easter, ducklings, chickens, and even rabbits are dyed a variety of colors. The way this is done to birds is dye is injected into the egg of the bird, and they never lose that color. Im not sure about the mortality rate of this procedure, but I have a sickening feeling it isn't as low as it should be...

I'm so happy you talked about the dog slide video!! It's cute with the music, however when I was watching it for the first time through Facebook, i did notice that most of the dogs didn't trust the slide at first. Happy to know i was correct in sighting the issues, but just makes me sad that they forced the dogs down. Just annoying because I know once the dogs know they can go down a lot of them will willingly go, but forcing them to go down will never have the pup trust the slide

[@Its_Asteria]

Mhm. I remember as a kid our dog LOVED to run up or run down our slide on the playground in our yard. But that was because she knew she could do it and she usually did it safely. She did it the first time because she wanted to be up there with me on the playground. It would have been very different if we had forced her because she would have been more afraid of it

[@marshmallow4646]

Also that they had so many dogs go down the slide :/ it made me anxious they were going to get hurt, and someone else pointed out they could get into a fight because their nerves are high, and half the dogs are excited or anxious/hated it and are ramming into another dog when they slide down

[@colelowe2122]

If that was a doggy daycare, I would have been very upset if someone put my dog down a slide. She hates slides, which I found out early on. If they didn't choose to do it themselves, you shouldn't force it.

When the person came down the slide, I genuinely thought to myself, "what kinda dog is that?"

[@nightthedracodonidosomeart2341]

I remember a tic toc from a year or two ago that was this person with a stray dog on a rope, showing the dog ‘love for the first time’ the poor dog was clearly very stressed and they kept trying to pet the pupper, at the end they began petting it and the dog looked like it was frozen in fear and it was showing all signs of being terrified. Tic toc never even took it down.

12:43 as someone who works at a doggy daycare, this looks really concerning. first of all, the slide itself looks unsafe. a dog could get stuck in the corkscrew area, which of course can cause the dog to become panicked or injured, and that can cause a safety hazard for whoever has to retrieve the dog because panicked/hurt dogs tend to bite. there's also no padding on the ground below the slide that i can see. it looks like the dogs are just falling on top of concrete which can also cause injuries or just a generally unhappy dog. second, there's a lot of crowding in this video. both of dogs in the slide (the dogs should be going down one at a time, not multiple at a time like in the video. wait for the first dog to get out of the slide safely before allowing another dog down the slide) and at the bottom. crowded dogs are highly stimulated and fights can break out, either from a dog at the bottom getting over-excited and attacking a dog coming out of the slide, or a dog coming out of the slide who is unhappy attacking the dogs at the bottom. and the only person who is shown in the video is at the top of the slide (the camera is very still so i don't think there's a person at the bottom of the slide recording) so if a fight DOES break out, there's not a person within the immediate vicinity to break it up, and the person at the top has to go through the slide and potentially through the middle of a fight to take care of the situation. lastly, this looks like a really unbalanced group of dogs. at the place i work at, we separate dogs based on size (unless they're puppies), so you would never see a corgi and a frenchie in the same group as a husky and a dalmation (unless they're puppies but they looks like adults here) the corgi and frenchie would go to small group while the husky and dalmation would go to medium group. it's just a way to keep the dogs safe. dogs of the same size playing together will cause less problems than dogs of two different sizes playing together. a medium sized dog could hurt a small dog because of their sheer size alone, even if the medium dog was just playing. at least they have small dogs that are more on the bigger end, so maybe this particular facility has different rules. at least there's not a really small dog like a chihuahua or a shih tzu barreling into a large dog like a rottie or a great dane. i hope that this video isn't a normal occurrence for this facility and that they chose to do this one video for advertising purposes or something. the dogs in the video do seem to get along so i assume they know each other well. even so, this slide looks like a safety hazard and i would never want a dog to go down it. a small short slide with an open top so that the dog can get out if it doesn't want to continue would be a better option, and definitely not one that high off the ground either. i do like that it's see through so that people can see if there are any dogs stuck in it or not, but that's about the only good thing about this slide.

Those poor dyed ducks- they actually color them BEFORE they hatch. The breeder injects the dye into the egg, staining the poor baby before it hatches. It usually lasted for a few weeks, but it will disappear when their adult feathers come in around 4 to 8 weeks (which is also when they are most likely to be dumped).

[@egirl274]

I worked in a doggie daycare, and when I saw the tunnel slide entrance I sent it to my friend who also worked there. We both couldn't beleive it. Dogs entering like that with all that excitement and no control becomes a game to the dogs at the bottom and could easily result in a fight.

[@savanna.r.m]

Dogs can be dyed without pain along with cats, horses, and others. :) I agree that ducklings probably should NOT be dyed like that though.

[@mountain_dreams]

agreed. furthermore Ducklings are typically dyed for easter by injected the dye into the egg so that the dye is permanent. I imagine this leads to a high mortality rate and shortened life span but I have no thoroughly researched the subject so can not say for certain though i've seen other in the comments say that in their experience they only live a few days

Ok! On the slide clip I have a story. So when I was younger my dad had built a playground in the backyard for me, it had two higher platforms where you could see over the fence on the highest platform and a slide on the side. My dog Lex, who is a Jack-Chi (Jack Russel - Chihuahua) is quite excitable and will bark ALOT if provoked. He also loves to jump and would jump up to the highest platform on the playground to assert his dominance (he’s a small to medium sized dog and just wanted to see) Anyway one day my mom and I were in the kitchen in which we had a large sliding glass door where we could see out into the backyard and had a clear view of the playset. So we were sat at the table, my mom was facing the door and I was faced away from it. We start to hear Lex bark at something but didn’t think to much about it since its a common occurrence (that we’re trying to train him out of, he acts like a little watch dog) Lex had jumped up to the top platform and had been barking from there, except every time he barked he took a step back; and eventually he stepped back to far. All of a sudden my mom was laughing hysterically and I was so confused until she managed to get out that she just watched Lex go down the slide backwards. I didn’t get to see it myself since I was faced away but it still something my family laughs about and Lex was more careful on the playground until we had torn it down.

[@rosellaraven2222]

I'd like to raise a point about the cataleah video if I may, It's not cruel I agree, but I also don't really think it's cute. Based on what you said about sugar gliders needing gentle handling at first, would this video then run the risk of influencing newer sugar glider owners who maybe don't have the most knowledge about them, to over do it and accidentally handle them for too long? I don't know much about sugar gliders, but if the one in the video was scared and is being held by someone who knows what they're doing, it can be cute if the handler explains what is happening for the audience and why you shouldn't handle them for too long.

Do people not realize pigs can 1. Have a foul attitude and can kick or bite if annoyed but also 2. Are omnivores and will gladly eat meat and actually love meat.

[@xBloodxFangx]

I hate the “who do you love” or “who is your pal” videos. Its when a dog places a paw on the back of an animal or ‘hugs’ another dog. All dogs Ive seen doing this trick are highly stressed out cause no dog loves hugs and dogs only hug to show dominance over another. Same for a paw on another dogs back. So that trick is literally forcing a dog to act dominant over another dog and stressing them both out cause a hug usually means fight or dominance aggression.

I'm glad that you made this video because I really hate when people mistreat there animals intentionally or not. Also I love you videos

4:33 at first i was like how are they falling the hill doesn't look steep and then i noticed the frickin hurricane going in the background

[@jakual339]

I've heard similar suggestions about some of the animal-related shows that used to be popular on cable: mute the audio, and take a moment to watch what's happening without the added dramatic sound effects and the host's commentary... does what you see actually fit with what you're being *told* is happening? Often it doesn't.

[@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945]

like what?

[@jakual339]

@@theshockinglyeloquentdog9945 One example that I remember involved a dog trainer dealing with a dog not obeying by pushing them over and holding them down until they went limp. The trainer then described the dog's attitude as "submissive", and that the dog had made a breakthrough in training and was now calm. Just watching the animal's body language without someone telling you how to interpret it, however, it looked like the dog was growing more and more frightened, and eventually dissociated/gave up trying to protect itself.

Yayyy you posted a video on my birthday 🎉🥳 happy birthday to me 🥰❣️ love ya Em thanks for the video.

[@alexlenze2560]

I just realized in the video with the dog and ducklings being blown down a hill the green duck which is tumbling actually gets stepped on by the dog

[@Vamcat]

While it is important to talk about the bad videos, I also think it’s good to talk about the good ones as well, expressing what the right thing to do is as well

[@johnathansumner5988]

I love your videos so much Em thank you for what you do

[@Emzotic]

Thank you!!!

[@Elligons]

3:41 in America people think it's cute to dye ducklings or chicks for Easter, and they're sold off like a novelty item, but no one really wants the responsibility of owning the animal. It takes a very long time for the color to fade as well. Also, videos where a person is trying to get an animal to hiss or scream is very cruel, because they're actually causing stress to the animal. I'm surprised you didn't include any clips of those.

[@TheWitchBitesBack]

Btw i just want your hair. Speaking of healthy and happy, your hair always looks so beautiful and I miss my long hair so I'm just always being jelly over your hair hahaha

[@poisonapple6138]

Horses also get dyed frequently and can have their manes and tails dyed safely so long as the skin and body are protected. Using foils to separate the parts being dyed from the rest of the body.

[@dianabuck7310]

I'm disgusted by the Easter pet trade, and I feel so sad for the babies that get dumped after the holiday. I know rabbits can be rescued successfully and become great pets, but what about other animals? What are the pros and cons of adopting chickens, ducklings, or lambs that have previously been used for Easter events? Do these rescues even exist?

[@definitely_not_2raccons]

What play pen is in the back?

[@crabcakes1408]

So basically some ferrets sleep talk

[@ferox965]

In the eighties, we called dooking chuckling.

The duckling and chicken ones just makes me sad 😢

Question: Do Ferrets require baths with water or with dust or no baths at all?

[@orderly_chaos_crochet]

Ferrets don't require baths at all. Occasionally ferrets can be bathed in an oatmeal bath if they are extra itchy but I don't recommend this more than once or twice a year. If one of my ferret gets dirty, I just use warm water. Water won't do any damage though and some ferrets really love water but like I said they don't really need baths.

[@joNizenas]

@@orderly_chaos_crochet oh ok thank you

[@genewickersham4593]

I bathed my ferrets in the tub once per month. But them in the tub first, then slowly put warm water in. If you try to put the ferrets into the full tub, they will scratch you halfway to death.
