THE INTERNET — A photo posted to Twitter of a husky, its coat fully shaved down to the skin, has many animal lovers online upset and disturbed.
A husky’s thick double coat is what keeps them insulated from the cold. The undercoat is short and warm, and the overcoat is long and water-resistant. Without their fur, huskies are not only unprotected from cool air, but also exposed to the sun’s UV rays, allowing for easy sunburn.
With no explanation offered as to why the husky was shaved, animal lovers online are worried it was stripped of its fur for some kind of sick joke. Twitter user Lily Stark wrote “This coat type is what keeps these dogs cool. When it’s shaved it never grows back right and the dog can end up overheating and dying.”
Twitter user Lorelei Mission counters with a tweet, explaining “Sometimes there are medical reasons that a coat has to be shaved. Some dogs arrive at shelters covered in road tar. One never knows.”
Since being posted by Twitter user Shishou on June 7, the photo has amassed more than 73,000 likes and 32,000 retweets.
