Untrue, as dogs and cats do not usually wear clothes. Babies do, as otherwise they die of cold and tigers. Hmm |

Granted they usually wear clothes, however they don't usually dress as characters from 1970s science fiction films for the amusement of their cruel, cruel parents. |

If the baby doesn't know any different, and it doesn't make the baby uncomfortable, how's it cruel? It's embarrassing, mind. |

At a recent multi-period I saw some re-enactor's poor kid dressed up as a member of Hitler Youth (or whatever their younger section was called). Even I was slightly disturbed by this. He looked the part though. |

Especially people who dress up their dogs and refer to them as "their little babies". |

But no - they *chose* to chase a stuffed rabbit around all day and visit that life upon their ever-more deformed children. Stupid dogs. |

Racing greyhounds for sport is a much more recent fad than racing greyhounds to catch rabbits so we could eat them. Greyhounds and whippets are only a few generations away from being working dogs.Now small yappy-type dogs can fuck off. |

We have a really big, fancy-dress-mandatory Halloween party every year. Yes, it's a very American thing to do; I got over that because it's also very good fun. I have an ace zombie costume from a few years ago. That year we had a kids party in the afternoon and a pissed up party in the evening and I literally scared my nieces to the point of not sleeping in this (my sister was not amused):

Yeah, it's cruel. They race their guts out and for what? So some jumped up toffs can go out in new hats and watch them do it. Another reason why I hate people. Making an animal suffer needlessly for your own amusement is disgusting |

I made a Leatherface costume for a party once complete with a mask made out of a couple of Chamois leathers.. It looked awesome! The best bit was I had a REAL chainsaw (minus the teeth) that started up and made all the noises! It was great!! Scared loads of people with that and I'm really surprised I didn't get arrested! |

Edit again: TheVision, was that you then? Nope... not me! I don't live anywhere near there but since my chainsaw had no teeth then I guess I would have had the same treatment. The worst part about the costume was lifting the chainsaw above my head and getting a face full of diesel fumes! Not nice when your breathings restricted with the mask. |
