Woman fined for dying her dog pink
BOULDER, Colo. -- A Boulder woman said she will fight a $1,000 fine she was given for dyeing her miniature poodle pink.
Joy Douglas said she dyed Cici pink to help raise awareness for breast cancer. The salon owner said she has used beet juice -- and occasionally Kool-Aid -- for four years now to "stain" her dog.
Officials at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley told the Daily Camera Douglas was warned several times before she was issued the ticket on March 1.
Douglas is accused of violating the city's code saying "No person shall dye or color live fowl, rabbits, or any other animals." It’s a code meant to keep people from dyeing rabbits and chicks at Easter.

Re: Woman fined for dying her dog pink
While I don't think she did any harm to her dog, if she *was* warned several times about the law, and she still decided to break it, then she should be fined. She can try and amend the law, or have it repealed, but what she did was technically illegal, and she was reminded of it.

Agreed. She clearly was aware of the consequences and chose to violate the law anyway.
