Question

Consider this claim:

It's cruel-not "cute"—to dress up your cat or dog in a costume; they're living creatures,
not accessories!
Now consider how someone might argue against this. Which sentence presents the stronger
and more reasonable counterclaim to the above claim?
Most dogs and cats enjoy attention from their owners, so taking the time to
dress them up in costumes is not only cute, but also good for pets.
There are no laws against dressing animals up; since animal cruelty is illegal,
but costumes are not, dressing up your pets must not be cruel.

Answer 1

There are no laws against dressing animals up; since animal cruelty is illegal, but costumes are not, dressing up your pets must not be cruel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dogs require sweaters to remain warm in cold weather; it would be cruel to allow them to freeze due to the cold.
