		<description>What I see here is an assault on these animals&#039; dignity. This kind of thing perpetuates the human tendency to regard other living beings on Earth as our playthings.

In fact, many people have the loathsome attitude that animals have no dignity, no feelings and no soul. They believe that animals were put here for us to do with what we want. 

Pigs are amongst the most abused animals on the planet, kept in horrifying conditions in battery farms. A lucky few are kept as pets, cold comfort to their tortured (and torture is the right word) brethren. I notice you never seem to cover that.

Shame on you for posting this - these are not dolls, these are living, thinking, feeling creatures. This is only funny if you think that they ARE our playthings. 

I thought this blog was maintained by an animal lover - was I wrong? People who truly love animals (and don&#039;t forget that we too are animals) don&#039;t treat them as playthings, or applaud such behaviour.</description>
