        Acknowledging that they are obese is stating a fact. Claiming that they wouldn’t or couldn’t take good care of their dog because of their obesity is fat shaming. They’re not 600+lbs-can’t-leave-the-bed obese.

          Maybe it is literally the point of getting a dog and thus be forced to walk more, good for them, good for the dog

            Exactly. People who fat shame don’t actually want people to improve – they just want a target for their hate. I see no reason to disparage the people in the picture, nor to think they won’t properly care for their dog.

            I don’t think fat shaming should be allowed here.

        So obviously that means he couldn’t possibly ever exercise, because people who lose weight just wake up suddenly skinny and are never still fat at any of the in-between points during which they still get constantly shit on for existing in a shape society disapproves of.

          Can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by fatshamers or people who don’t realise this is sarcastic, but fyi to everyone, this is sarcastic.

    Please try to cultivate one one thousandth of the love for your fellow humans that those people have for that dog.

    These people will just use their mobility scooter while the dog has to run for it’s life while being leeshed to the scooter. Seen that scenario plenty of times in my town.
