With the COVID-19 pandemic still not letting up, wearing masks even when out in public has become mandatory in some countries. And, while half of the world is not convinced masks can help, the other half is strongly pro-mask to the point of even putting them on their pets. This trend was recently confirmed as quite dangerous by vets – you can’t protect your pets from the coronavirus and putting a mask on them could kill them.
Animal experts from all over the world have issued a blunt response to the concerning trend. According to veterinarian Melissa Meehan from Melbourne, Australia, the masks could cause stress and anxiety in cats. In the worst scenario, they could die.
