As long as it isn't hurting the animal in any way, f.instance warm clothes for furless dogs in the winter...

Well its sort of okay, because my cousin's dog gets cold if he doesn't have a sweater on and he likes it, but not on dogs that don't like it.

Most of the time, it's not for that reason, unfortunately... If it is used to help the animals, then I'm all for it!

It really depends though, like doggy coats for ones that would be too cold outside, but dressing them up in little outfits, I hate </3

it can be annoying sometimes but it isn't hurting them in any way....hey if it puts a smile on an old lady's or little girl's face to dress up her dog....it isn't hurting anyone. Lighten up people.

It doesn't hurt them, just like it doesn't hurt us to wear clothes either. Ironically, it's actually considered abnormal for humans to not wear clothes.

I suppose it depends on what it's wearing, and how long for.

If it's a chihuahua or something and it needs to be warm in the winter, it's ok. Also ok if it's only something small like a bandana.

I see the point in animals wearing certain types of clothing for protection (like warmth or medical reasons), but when they are wearing accessories I just tend to think, "why?"

If they aren't hurt or uncomfortable in the clothes I guess it's not really cruelty, but I do worry that it can lead to people objectifying animals, which could in turn result in some kind of abuse.

When humans choose clothes, I think it's important that they are dressing for themselves - not for someone else. So shouldn't animals wear clothes for their own good too? I'd just encourage people to think twice about why they're dressing the animal; is it purely for the person's pleasure, or will it benefit the animal in some way?
