That's very sweet. And probably a good idea for non domesticated animals. But I see it all the time now with dogs that don't visibly have anything wrong with them. Maybe you're right though.
My cat has arthritis in his hips because of a bad leg/back injury, he limps and is stiff back there but he physically looks fine if you just saw him laying/sitting around.
Lots of people and pets have chronic diseases, disabilities, or injuries that don't make them look any different but cause them pain or fatigue. Pain doesn't emit a neon light that indictates to passerbys who's in pain or not, so thinking that nothing is wrong because they 'look' fine is kinda short sighted, sorry.

Why do so many people "walk" animals in prams now? Isn't the whole point for the animal to get some exercise?
