Is it ok to starve your pet?

Asked by JaneraSolomon (1168points) February 9th, 2012

Not starve it to death, but keeping it lean in the hope of helping it to live longer. Studies have shown that starved rats for instance live a lot longer than normal rats and obese animals have the shortest lifespans.
