Brothers found guilty over 'grossly' obese dog | UK news | guardian.co.uk
There have been several instances lately in UK about owners being prosecuted for having obese pets I am sure there has been one about cats but I can't find a link to it. There have been a few about rabbits.
My opinion is that it is cruelty unintentional or otherwise as it seriously reduces the animals quality of life, but I am sure others will have a different opinion.

While I agree that allowing your pet to become that obese is a form of abuse.. I would have to say it would pale in comparison to... oh... let's say... euthanasia :thumbsup:

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm more thankful that these pets have homes as opposed to them being fatties. Yes being obese knocks years off their lives but they live a better life than animals in shelters. Especially those that do not practice "no kill".... which majority of them do not.

:hippy:
