Fat cat to be "featured" on Ripley's (=my idea of abuse)
Please look at this page: http://tinyurl.com/krqwr
The article describes a cat that is between 46 and 50 pounds and "boasts a thickset 33-inch waistline." He eats 30 pounds of food each week! The owner claims that he is healthy, despite remarks that "he's a waddler" and "not much for running." They brush him and have to use baby wipes to clean him because he is so fat that he cannot clean himself. Unfortunately, he is declawed -- and they seem to blame that (and having him "fixed") for his overeating. The reason I am writing is that he is a contender for the world's fattest feline. He is going to be featured on "Ripley's Beliee It or Not," and a video has been sent to "America's Funniest Home Videos" with the hope that he will win the big prize. I consider this to be animal abuse. It is not "funny" or "contest-worthy." I am going to write a message of protest to Ripley's. They should not be glorifying this type of abuse and just plain idiocy. If any of you would like to join me, a message can be sent to this address: MaryL |
