BANGKOK: -- A long-tailed macaque has caught the attention of officials for “being fat”. 

 

“Our team headed out to check on it because we received reports about a fat macaque in Bangkok’s Bang Khun Thien area,” Kanjana Nittaya, a senior official at the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, said on Thursday. 

 

The team spotted the monkey near a floating market and found it to be really fat.

 

The macaque was given a sedative shot and brought to a wildlife rescue centre in Nakhon Nayok province, where it would undergo a comprehensive health check. 

 

The macaque weighs 15 kilos, much higher than the average of between 8-10 kilos. 

 

“We believe it is suffering from obesity because a great number of people come there and feed it. It is probably just sitting there and overeating,” Kanjana said.

Obviously a farang macaque. Put him in a wife beater and he would blend right in. 

Obviously an overactive thyroid gland, just like all my other fat friends have.

Put him in front of a computer screen and he could be a TVF member.

...it may have a large abdominal tumor.

Filled with coins?

Do they test Thai policemen for obesity?  A symptom is an inability to get off one's ars unless galvanised by the scent of money.

This is blatant fat shaming. They should embrace Body Positivity.

Looks like a lot of the Farang women one see's on the beach in a bikini at least the macaque is covered in fur..... although come to think of it....
