英首例狗兒養太胖主人判有罪

　　英國男子大衛•班頓及弟弟德瑞克因為所飼養的一隻拉不拉多犬過胖而被「皇家防止虐待動物協會」告上法庭。法官十二日宣判，兩兄弟餵食不當導致狗兒承受不必要痛苦的罪名成立。

　　讓班頓兄弟吃上官司的拉布拉多犬「魯斯提」在兩年內暴肥廿五公斤，體重增到七十四公斤，高達正常體重的兩倍，圓滾滾的體型看起來簡直像隻海象，肥到幾乎無法站立。儘管班頓兄弟否認讓十歲的「魯斯提」承受不必要的痛苦，劍橋郡伊利市的法官仍判決兩人有罪。

　　五十二歲的大衛及六十三歲的德瑞克獲得有條件釋放，依令他們不得讓魯斯提復胖，而且各自得繳交二百五十英鎊（約新台幣一萬六千元）費用。魯斯提餘生也必須接受妥善的醫療照顧。

　　這起官司的訴訟費用為一萬兩千英鎊。

　　「魯斯提」去年三月起接受「皇家防止虐待動物協會」照顧，在低卡路里飲食以及價值三千英鎊（約台幣十九萬五千元）的止痛藥控制下，終於成功減重廿二•四公斤。

Fat pet owners face jail
Controversial new pet code released

Owners who let their pets get too fat could face 12 months’ jail, or a fine of £20,000 under controversial new government rules.

A new Animal Welfare Act, published this week states that overfeeding pets is a “serious welfare concern”.

The act, published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, gives explicit details on how to care for cats, dogs and horses. It includes new rules that states dogs must not be left in direct sunlight in a car, or walked in the heat of the day.

If you’re a pet owner, you might want to familiarise yourself with the new code. Although breaking the code is not an offence, courts will use it to judge whether owners are guilty of animal cruelty.

Your cat should not be too fat or too thin. You can assess your cat’s weight by gently seeing if you can feel its ribs; if they are hard to find it may be overweight. If the ribs and backbone are prominent, then your cat may be underweight and ill.

路透社坎培拉電---
"澳洲養寵物家庭的比例達64%，在全世界名列前矛，相較之下，美國有62%家庭飼有寵物，英國則為44%。

　澳洲防止虐待動物協會首要獸醫勞里(Mark Lawrie)
告訴路透社，調查發現如今40-44%的寵物狗以及逾三分之一的貓過重。

　肥貓和胖狗較容易罹患糖尿病、關節炎、心臟病和肝臟疾病。

　風險最高的狗種包括拉布拉多、小獵犬和
拉布拉多貴賓狗(拉布拉多和貴賓狗交配)等雜種狗，
雜種貓也比其他品種的貓更容易過胖。"
