Fat border collie Jiffy survives freezing to sidewalk overnight

In the USA, dogs are treated no better than children - overfed and set-up to die.

"A dog weighing more than 120 pounds survived being frozen to a sidewalk overnight, probably because he was insulated by layers of fat, authorities said.

The 'morbidly obese' dog, an aging border collie mix named Jiffy, froze to the sidewalk when he was left out overnight Wednesday, the Sheboygan County Humane Society said. Few dogs could survive the single-digit temperatures, and it was probably the fat that made the difference, shelter manager Carey Payne said."

In the USA, animal abusers are treated more aggressively than child abusers.

"Jiffy's 59-year-old owner was arrested Thursday morning on suspicion of animal neglect, Sheboygan Police Lt. Tim Eirich said."

The cowardly persons in power let child-abusing parents, complicit physicians and law-breaking teachers off the hook.

Kudos, fatsos and kudos to the people in charge.
