evile

Hm. An animal has health problems consistent with " sustained abuse, neglect, poor nutrition" but the owner insists that their own animal displaying such issues must have some entirely different reason for having that health issue.

Despite witnesses having observed said owner throwing the animal violently to the ground while screaming "NO" at it (repeated incidents, over several years),
despite the animal having been diagnosed with a related health issue (fatty liver) almost 20 years ago and told at that time to cut it out with the people food (they stuck to the special diet for a while but eventually went back to feeding it french fries, fried chicken, etc, because it's cute when the animal begs for human food),
despite the animal having visible signs of neglect (overgrown beak, feather issues, etc).

Ohhhhhkaaaaay.
