Schaudenfreude - and send it to Snopes

[kyburg]

Entire flocks of lambs were shipped over from the UK and Australia to Japan by an internet company and marketed as the latest 'must have' accessory.

But the scam was only spotted after a leading Japanese actress said her 'poodle' didn't bark and refused to eat dog food.

I'd really be suspicious, except for this story.

I've had both. Bottle fed, both even.

I mean, I'm holding the snark back by sheer brute force here. Sheep are STUPID. I mean, totally clueless stupid. Goats have more brains - you can at least hold a conversation with one...and pitted against a dog?

I call bullshit - and I'm sending it to Snopes.

Desperate, yes. But this is a bit extreme...or is it?

But you have actually interacted with your dog and made a friend out of him and know he has intellegence, unlike idiots who just have them to be a fashion item.

I've also heard pets are very rare in Japan because the apartments usually don't allow them. Still, I have had way too much exposure to farm animals to be objective. Covered in snark myself.
