12 Stupid Products That Prove The Pet Industry Has Gone Too Far
The era defined by the phrase, "necessity is the mother of invention," is long gone. The age we live in today is more along the lines of, "make a product for everything and hope there's a niche market out there full of enough suckers that are stupid enough to waste money on it."
And currently, there are few industries that champion that philosophy better than the pet product industry.
The company states, “By providing an alternative to sitting on your lap, running disruptively underfoot, or outright banishment, the chair assuages a pet (and its owner’s) frustration, and promotes more refined behavior.â€
Or maybe, if you can't tolerate your pet "running disruptively underfoot," don't freaking own one.
Perfect for any dog who loves being able to see all the small animals it'll never have the opportunity to chase!

If you need an explanation as to why this is stupid, shame on you.
Tired of your dog always complaining about it's unsightly, exposed anus? Looking for a new way to show others how insane you are? Well then this product is just for you!
The only thing worse than a regular sized Croc.
There's nothing a cat loves more than being forcibly imprisoned and confined to a tiny space where it can't do anything but sit and look at all the birds and squirrels around it.
Never have to worry about picking up your dog's poo with a plastic bag again. Now, all you have to do is put the overly complicated body harness on your dog, wait for it to poop, detach the overly complicated body harness, remove the likely shit-covered cellophane bag from your dog's now-dirty ass, dump out their waste, rinse the bag thoroughly by hand, and you're good to go! It's as easy as that!
As if this concept wasn’t weird enough, there's also a functional hole in the back. What's worse, the France-based company states “this can also be used as décor in houses without pets as well.†This may be normal over there, but here? Let's just say "unacceptable" would be an understatement.
