It has become fashionable to perform plastic surgery on cats and dogs in China

Professional veterinarians and animal advocates in China are strongly opposed to this practice because such surgeries cause pain and stress to animals. In addition, due to the change in the natural shape of the ears, animals may begin to scratch their ears, causing themselves additional suffering.

Although the law does not prohibit plastic surgeries for pets, large clinics in big cities do not provide such services. More often their advertising can be found in kennels.

Earlier it was reported that in China police rescued more than a thousand cats, which were going to be let for meat for subsequent sale to shops and restaurants. Cat meat is banned for consumption in the country.
