WHY THE NAME “DOGPOISON INDUSTRIES”?

the point of a fearsome mask is to ward off evil spirits. like the Celtic and Pagan practices that were lumped into Catholic practices to make the American holiday that we today know as Halloween. for these purposes, masks would protect the living wearer from any deceased who may have turned malevolent.

masks to ward off demonic spirits look like our conceptualization on demons, monsters… the mask mirrors the thing it aims to scare away, and is oftentimes a poor reproduction of it. this can come off humorous, which i think makes it more powerful, instead of less. de-clawing of the fearsome thing; it’s no longer scary, it’s funny.

a factory that exists to pump out metric fucktons of a chemical toxic specifically to domestic dogs is just about the most cartoonishly evil thing i could think of except it’s kind of real. we are all dogs and we Do produce metric fucktons of dogpoison because it makes big boss money and our whole system depends on that.
