RE: Animals And Obesity; Should We Be Concerned?
Hello @chloroform :)
What a incredibly informative article! This is a very interesting question:
Does An Animal Overeat While Living In The Wild?
Which I quickly answered ... incorrectly before I continued reading the post. I was very surprised to learn about bird's feast-or-famine gorging behaviour, as well as how most of wild animals' energy intake is spent of fertilization processes.
As for obese pets ... oh ... I know one of those! His owners are overweight too. Every time they nibble on something ... there is Rocky nibbling on it too! They even give him beer :(
Ps: Rocky is a Yorkshire Terrier.
Thank you for all this info chloroform!
All the best to you.
That was somewhat unfortunate for the dog. Drinking beer? Really? Isn't that count as an abuse or something?
It is difficult to think of Rocky as an abused dog. Despite the way his owners feed him, he is a very loved, well-looked after little dog. I put it down to ignorance :/
