Boulder woman ticketed for dyeing poodle pink
Salon owner faces $1,000 fine

A Boulder salon owner is facing a $1,000 fine for dyeing her miniature poodle pink -- and the woman said she plans to fight back.

Cici is a "breast-cancer awareness dog" who's been showing off her pink coat for three years at Zing Salon, 1100 Spruce St., said Joy Douglas, who owns both the salon and the poodle.

"Cici is being stripped of her civic duty," said Douglas, who is scheduled to face a judge in Boulder Municipal Court this morning in response to a March 1 citation. "And I don't plan to take it sitting down."

Officials at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley said Douglas was warned several times before an animal-control officer issued her the ticket for violating Section 6-1-14 ofBoulder's city code, titled "Dyeing fowl and rabbits prohibited."

Douglas said she didn't break that law, because she uses beet juice -- and occasionally Kool-Aid -- to "stain" Cici's coat. She said she never has used chemicals, and her pooch never has had a reaction to the stain.

"If this is really true that you can't put beet juice on your dogs, than the law just needs to say that," Douglas said. "But I'm not dyeing fowl or rabbits. And I wouldn't do anything to endanger my animal."

The full text of the law, according to the city code, reads: "No person shall dye or color live fowl, rabbits or any other animals."

Boulder's animal control officials said.

In the interest of equal time, since the last loony I posted about was the Oklahoman politician that said Al Queera is more dangerous than Al Qaeda, I though I should post about the loony ass left wing rock sucking tree huggers in Boulder CO. It's fucking BEET JUICE YOU WACKOS!

The law was created back when people would purchase dyed chicks and bunnies for Easter, those animals were almost invariably abandoned soon after and, of course, usually died.

Why would people abandon those poor little animals?

Couldn't they just put them in a pie?

Exactly. Maybe an exception should be made for permanent pets that are dyed using non-chemicals, but this isn't what Socrates is trying to make it out to be.

Have you never had rabbit pie?

I must admit that even i may baulk at the prospect of a poodle pie, if only due to the sheer size of it.

You'd have to collect quite a few of those little dyed bunnies to make a rabbit pie. Or you'd have to care for the animal until full growth. Both of which Americans are too lazy to do.

Perhaps there's a market for smaller, bite sized, rabbit pies for people on diets, anorexics and midgets?
