It's lunch o’ clock! As soon as you open the cupboard, you can hear your furball sprinting like Bolt for the race of a lifetime. ‘Cause no doggo would dare to miss a second of the holy ritual—the pouring sound of dry delicious bits, their heavenly aroma, and the first crunchy bite that immediately becomes the last.
But devouring the food you love may be a dangerous endeavor for some hungry animals. You see, when your eyes are bigger than your belly and your belly is bigger than your bowl, it may lead to a trapping incident.
Bored Panda has compiled a list full of the cutest animals who seriously overestimated themselves, ditched their table manners, and got miserably stuck in the progress of eating.

It's how she manages her weight - if she slips through, she's fine. If she gets stuck, she may have a problem!

My Dog Managed To Get Into A Pack Of Frozen Fish Fillets And He Would've Gotten Away With It If He Didn't Get Stuck And Had To Come To Me For Help
When it comes to feeding your pet, we all want what’s best for our animals, from tasty foods to safe and useful pet feeders. However, recently, new buzz around automatic pet feeders has emerged.
Many owners see them as an alternative to feeding your furry companion while being away, or simply making sure you never forget to put some snacks out when you’re out of time.
But experts warn that automatic food dispensers are in no way an alternative to human interaction. In fact, Russell Hartstein, a certified pet behaviorist and the founder of Fun Paw Care in Los Angeles, told NY Times that “A feeder should never be used as a way to not hire a pet sitter, walker, or boarding facility.”

Even though automatic pet feeders are meant to dispense a specific amount of food at a programmed time, they cannot give the full care and attention your pet needs. Plus, they are not always reliable, and when there’s technology, bugs do happen.
Moreover, an automatic pet feeder is likely to overfeed your pet even if you've programmed it not to. It can be anywhere from a teaspoon to a nibble, but if your pet is on a restricted diet, that little bit can be enough to pile on weight.

What do you think ?

ALWAYS flatten empty cans before throwing them out! And close empty jars or put them somewhere your pet can’t get stuck... As for the cat owner with the empty jerky bag where the cat got stuck 4 times... just get up and toss it instead... The animals are not at fault, the owners are!!

I have no experience with these automated feeders but it I see the funny incidents here I cannot help but imagine there also must be unfunny ones...

Many of these are dangerous and not funny at all. This is how you find suffocated pets at home if you are not careful. I really don’t get time-feeders anyway. If you have an animal, take good care of it or don’t get animals because humans are to blame for all of these incidents.

I don't like these. It's so dangerous. All of these animals could've been so easily hurt in these situations. As well as that, these animals have a right to dignity of life and photographing and laughing when they're in a moment of distress just doesn't seem right to me...

Not funny, most are probably staged for 'likes' such is the sad way we now live.

i had a doberman, helga, that was rescued as a pup from a puppy mill. because of her experiences she was an opportunistic eater. she even learned to pop the top off tupperware from fridge w/o tearing it up. i walked in finding her head stuck in boxes several times. most scare was when i put a box of groceries down & then got the call to pick up my son. came back to see groceries & broken glass everywhere w/blood in her mouth. took her to ER; glass can't be see on xrays. given a box of gloves w/instructions to check her butt & poop for blood/glass. just think of the look a dog gives you when you are feeling up their poop. and that was just one of the adventures w/my problem child. loved her all of her 13 yrs.

Peoples are thinking most of the photos are funny. But plastic bags, take away boxes and tin cans are the most dangerous or deadly trap for wildlife! LET'S STOP IT!

What is really unfortunate are those leaving highly judgemental comments assuming they know all the details. Pets can get into trouble in the blink of an eye, despite your best efforts. Perhaps, when someone was out or just came home, they were taking a loved one to the ER. Perhaps they went to check on a loud crash and the sudden crying of a child or infant. Perhaps they are a caregiver and needed to provide immediate attention to a parent... Instead of putting everyone down as if you're infallible, think of a reason why it could have happened, and then remember that so you don't let it happen yourself - and be the subject of ridicule.
