Is Torture Really Necessary?

in #photography5 years ago

Today I spotted some very unusual and upsetting things in the hypermarket. Already knew cacti have flowers glued and I can't trust those but the torture does not stop here.

Looks like Christmas needed some Santa cacti. It might look funny and fits glance but in fact it's sad and this is not all.

Look at this succulent, it's painted all over with glittery paint. I love that red, looks amazing but not like that, not on a living plant!

Is this really necessary? These plants don't need torturing. I'm wondering if the succulent can be cleaned somehow or it will remain with the paint forever?

@ewkaw, have you seen anything like that?

Oh my poor things.
Yes we have those here too. Santas in winter, Bunnies in spring. Glitter and all kinds of colourful pain on the leaves too.
Terrible. I dunno if you can remove it. Probably yes. But the plant will probably damaged. With the paint on it will probably die.

Do not buy it - do not give your money to people that do it.

Bunnies in spring? Does this have an end or not? Unbelievable!
I would never buy such things!!! I would never support such a business, ever!

As long as people buy it, it will not end.

Az a csillámos cucc nagyon durva :(

Idővel ledobja magától, a növényi bőrszövet is "hámlik", mint a miénk, csak sokkal lassabban. Ha viszont túl vastag a ragasztóréteg, akkor pár héten belül elpusztul, mert nem tud lélegezni a levelein keresztül.

Ettől függetlenül ez tényleg jó kérdés, ki a fene vágyik egy piros csillámos pozsgásra otthon :S

Engem meglepett, hogy egészen ôszinte legyek. Azt tudtam, hogy a kaktuszokra ráragasztanak száraz virágot, dear ez, amit most láttam elég sokkoló. Ezeket fel kellene jelenteni.
Nem tudom miért men lehet mûanyagból vagy valamit más anyagból elkészíteni? És mi lesz a következô? Kutyát, macskát fognak megfesteni és tollakkal díszíteni?

Thank you!

Same here with extra decoration on some plants for the holidays. Did not see with paint as such but I do agree. It is not good for the plants.

This pisses me off in so many ways! People is so beeeep ignorant! They just don't care in harming nature, they only care about getting money! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
