In China, cats' ears are cut to make them look like Mickey Mouse (3 photos)

This is done before the Chinese Spring Festival (Chinese New Year). Veterinarians in the country are divided into two camps: those who want money and those who love animals.





The South China Morning Post reported on clinics in Chongqing that offer ear cropping to cats to make them look like Mickey Mouse. Before the Spring Festival, the veterinary clinic launched an advertising campaign in which it offered the service to pet owners at a discount of only 300 yuan.



Interestingly, in China this procedure is absolutely legal. The procedure is very complex and is performed in two stages. First, the ear is trimmed, and then it is trimmed for another two months to make it round, similar to the ear of a mouse. The procedure is very painful, both the operation itself and the recovery.

Damage to the natural structure of the ears can cause psychogenic problems in some pets. For example, some sensitive pets may scratch constantly due to severe pain, veterinarians say.



Despite the warnings of veterinarians, there are people who still perform this procedure, torturing their pets.
