People cut off their pets’ ears to make them look like Mickey Mouse.
A new trend in plastic surgery for pets has emerged in China. This was reported by the South China Morning Post.
In particular, pet owners undergo plastic surgery to change the shape of their pet’s ears, thereby making them look like the famous mouse from the Disney cartoon. Mickey Mouse.
Liu Yundong, dean of Loving Care International Pet Medical Center in Beijing, explained that the procedure consists of two parts.
First, a surgical process is performed to cut and shape the ears, which requires anesthesia and takes about half an hour.
The second stage involves the formation of the ears in an upright position, which can last from 20 to 60 days. This step takes a bit longer and requires frequent adjustments to ensure your pet’s ears stay straight at all times.
Although this procedure is legal, well-known animal clinics in big cities rarely perform such operations on pets.
“Such an operation is rarely performed in pet hospitals in first-tier cities, but is common in dog kennels and breeding facilities. Currently, there is no legal restriction on this operation in China. It is a moral issue. As “veterinarians, we follow the principle of animal welfare and We are not in favor of such operations. The colleagues I have met are quietly against such operations,” said Liu.
At the same time, animal rights activists are demanding an end to this practice because of the physical pain and psychological suffering it causes to the animals.
This procedure costs about 300 yuan (about 1650 UAH).
It was previously reported that avatars of streamers selling goods on marketplaces were made in China.
