A Brazilian tattaoo artist has sparked controversy after posting the
photo on the right on social media. The man, identified as Emerson Damasceno,
took it upon himself to bring his pet dog to the tattoo parlor and ink the
animal in the most extremely sensitive areas of the body.
The Bull terrier was forced to get a tattoo in his ears, nose and
even his eyes. The owner would have probably gotten away with it, hadn’t he
posted the incriminating photo on social media. The picture quickly went viral
and sparked numerous criticism.
In an attempt to justify his actions, the owner claimed that the dog
was suffering from a rare type of cancer that made him vulnerable to sunlight
and left his skin exposed (but failed to bring compelling evidence to support
his claims or explain how these tattoos could keep the pet healthy).
The tattoos were made at the Buzzy Tattoo in the state of Minas
Gerais and appear to be permanent. Amid the controversy of the photos, the
tattoo parlor changed its name on Facebook and deleted the photo alongside the
negative comments attached to it.
Animal rights activist and lawyer Fernanda Soares is revolted by the
man’s actions and is planning to sue the tattoo artist for cruelty to animals.
Please support this petition to ensure this irresponsible owner is
prosecuted and never allowed to keep pets again.
This person endangered the life of his pet for a publicity stunt and
this is unacceptable. Take action now and make he gets punished for what he
did!
