Rundown:

rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

I disagree with the people who say an animal doesn't understand that being obese is bad for them, because animals tend to have much better instincts than we do and they don't ignore them.

But still do agree with the fact that it usually isn't the animal's choice because the same animal in the wild would have a very different diet from the average domesticated animal. The problem isn't so much that the pet overeats, it's the food being given to them. Like with humans, diet is the biggest part of whether someone will have a healthy weight or not and an animal that eats the diet that nature intended for them to eat will be healthy assuming that said animal doesn't have any conditions that would prevent that from being true.

However, it isn't always the owners fault. The fault lies with the fact that people are told that store bought pet food is best for their animal when usually it is not. It is also the fault of the fact that pet food is not as regulated as human food is, so they can get away with a lot more and often things that by law cannot be sold to humans are sold as pet food. For example, cat and dog food tend to have a lot of grain as filler, and the diet of a cat and dog are meant to contain raw meat mostly, and very little, if any grains.

no, they do not connect that to the problem. domestic pets like cats and dogs aren't self-aware.
