i think everyone knows why those laws are there...for chicks, etc. If you ever go to a big grooming show, there are dyed dogs there all the time...and they don't seem to be suffering any. I think fining her for this is stupid, that's all...and as I said somewhere else, wait until St. Patrick's Day, when dogs are the least of the things dyed green................ Those people ought to go to a couple of dog shows and see the dogs that are dyed every weekend.........
