I would guess it's a question of scale. Most animals don't tend to get grotesquely overweight. If they do, it's because a human takes the time to keep them and habitually overfeed them, something which takes effort and money. But there's no shortage of humans that will habitually overfeed themselves, and then they conveniently go wandering in dark alleyways...
