I love thinking I'm a hater and then meeting a real hater and going wow that does not look fun actually. Going back to my lukewarm hater ways. Performative haterdom. I couldn't name five hater bands.

Have y'all heard about the dog groomer that dyed a dog green without the owners consent?

The post started circulating in my pet industry groups and now it's hit the news, shit is bananas

I fell down this rabbit hole so hard and it just gets worse and worse. Like at the end of the news article about it they have a response from her and…

“UpNorthLive reached out to Boyles to see if she was interested in explaining her side.

This is the statement she sent in response:

‘I would like to address some recent comments regarding my actions. Throughout my career, I have always aimed to maintain a positive and respectful environment. I acknowledge that my decision regarding the splash of color may have crossed certain boundaries, and for that, I sincerely apologize.

When the family left my establishment, they appeared to be happy, and I received no indication of any dissatisfaction at that time. I even provided them with a card and additional treats as a gesture of goodwill. In an effort to resolve any concerns, I issued a refund prior to the online comments made about me.

I understand that my initial apology may not have been perfect, but my intention was to minimize conflict and ensure a positive outcome. It's disheartening to see how some individuals choose to diminish others rather than support them.’”

How can anyone be this stubbornly unable to admit fault? How can you possibly, with hindsight and SO much backlash, not understand how egregious this is??? Completely bananas!

Perhaps the wildest thing though is that the instance that went viral isn’t even the most bonkers one? Like look at this one!

It’s so bad that other grooming businesses with similar names are needing to post to explain that they are not the one that dyes dogs bright colours without owners’ consent! Bonkers.

someone else notes in another chain that there's unlikely to be actual "permanent" (chemical process) color that is pet safe and confirms that Opawz is not actually permanent, it appears to just be a particularly pigmented semipermanent. the difference between permanent and semipermanent dye has to do with whether you are just depositing pigment into the hair shaft, or actually creating some sort of chemical process with the hair protein at the same time. neither 7 hours nor 13 hours are appropriate or reasonable amounts of time to groom or dye a dog of these two types unless they are rescue cases with severe matting so i have to assume based on the photo of the groomer with her entire hand covered in dye and no glove (???) that she was just applying and reapplying dye badly on these poor dogs over and over again anyway its a matte of time until she poisons or injures someone's animal if she hasnt done it already

people saying that being trans is a white only thing is very strange to me because i remember when i was a kid people acted like it was pretty much only black people and thai people who were trans. obvsiouly both of those things are based in racism and transmisogyny but the rapid shift is strange

I had to bring these out of the tags because the last 2 tags especially!!!! ☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼

had to censor so tumblr doesn't nuke it but this is one of my favourite gerard donelan comics -i don't know what else to say except the vibes are immaculate
