Considering this was a head-to-toe job, the poor dog had to be on a grooming table for hours. Even with four feet, it had to be very tired when done.
Okay, but what about grooming? Is there outrage about making dogs stand for long periods of time in order to shave their fur into fancy clumps and lumps? What about the entire show dog/cat industry? Hauling animals around, sometimes cross country, putting them in crates for hours at benched shows, making them "perform" for judges and audiences? Not to mention selective breeding/eugenics to develop specific physical characteristics that may, in the long run, be injurious to the breed.
