Why does the Guinness Book of World Records no longer record the fattest animal?
Once upon a time, the record for the fattest fish appeared in the book. After that, many fish owners began fattening their animals in an attempt to break the record.
The Guinness World Records Society doesn't want people to maim themselves or animals. Therefore, records related to alcohol or large quantities of food were removed from the book.
