Artist who painted cat pink remains at the center of controversy

A video circulating online has sharply divided public opinion. A female paint artist posted a video on her Instagram page where she painted a cat bright pink. The video appeared on the account @kamola.rustamovna4 and soon sparked widespread discussions, reported tashkent_land.

The author tried to present this act as an "aesthetic" experiment within the scope of her professional activity. According to her, it was the result of a "creative approach." However, users severely criticized this approach.

In hundreds of comments on Instagram and other social networks, people called this not only meaningless and tasteless, but also considered it cruel treatment of animals. Some even emphasized that this could be a legal violation.

It is currently unknown what kind of dye was used. But veterinary specialists have repeatedly stressed: the skin of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans, and chemical substances not intended for them can cause severe allergies, burns, toxic reactions, or even serious illnesses.

Animal rights activists also paid attention to this video. In their opinion, no matter how "organic" or "child-safe" the pink paint is presented, such substances are still harmful to animals.

Many users addressed the girl and demanded she take the cat to a veterinarian. Some also emphasized the need for legal evaluation of the situation.

Amid the discussions, some lawyers reminded that Uzbekistan’s legislation provides for responsibility against cruel treatment of animals. That is, if the animal's health has been harmed, the person may be held administratively or even criminally liable.

At this point, the girl has deleted the video from her page. However, screenshots and copies of the video have already been widely shared through various channels and accounts.

The public outrage is based not only on personal emotions. In recent times, similar incidents in various countries have caused public outcry. For example, in the U.S., a TikTok blogger was punished for dipping a dog in colored liquid.

The girl might have aimed to get more "likes" or followers with this content. But internet users did not accept this method from a moral point of view.

Some specialists remind us: animals are not fashion victims. Any attempt to align their appearance with human aesthetics can lead to negative consequences.

Psychologists also commented on the situation. They stressed how dangerous the paths chosen for "internet fame" can be. Animals are sentient beings, decorating them like lifeless objects — that is not cuteness, but irresponsibility, experts said.

As usual, the public was split into two sides: one group defended the girl, while others continued to criticize her.

However, in most cases, the opinion converged on one point: the appearance of animals should not be sacrificed for personal style or Instagram "likes."

The topic is expanding, and discussions are intensifying. People once again emphasize the need to take the issue of animal rights and health seriously.

As the details of the incident become clearer, time will show whether the girl will face legal consequences. But through this case, society once again felt the need to treat animals with maturity and responsibility.
