Rusty, the 160-pound+ Labrador
This story thoroughly angered me after seeing it on television. But it seems the owners, who are British, somehow allowed their Labrador to fatten up to 167 pounds. To see the poor dog walk was a travesty, and the owners, two brothers, were completely unapologetic.
Well, at least the British govt gives a damn. CBS news states the owners were fined the Pound equivalent of $30,000 - $15K each. Poor 'ol Rusty. :( http://www.itv.com/news/storya8b7e9b...94_160x120.jpg Here's the story: http://www.itv.com/news/index_12439d3331166b559f552861ffce5f28.html |
...there's no life-guard at the gene pool.

I don't care what anyone says, that is cruel. When you're allowing an animal to get THAT big you're probably finding it "entertaining" in some way to toss it food - more or less nonstop - from your hand and giggling over watching it waddle around. Poor Rusty indeed.

Will they start fining fat people then?

Yet, no one steps in to intercede when a child over obese, that is not PC.

My Lab would be like that if we didn't strictly control his food rations. He's constantly hungry. Our Anatolian is completely self regulating, eating just so much and then stopping, the Lab waits to finish off any left so we have to watch that too.
