#2 Sheared for sure, but I bet a lot of those lambs stay pets.

#3 I prefer lamb to dog anyway. Nicer flavor and more tender.

#4 platypus are extremely rare in the US, but I think I'd know something was wrong if someone tried to pass it off as an expensive persian cat.

#12 At least they get the wool for the sheeps sweater free instead of buying it.

#13 You would think the little hooves would have been a give away.

#14 So are these "Shoodles" or "Peeps"?

The scam was rumbled when movie star Maiko Kawakami complained on a talk show that her new poodle refused to bark or eat dog food. She showed photos of the animal and was devastated when told that it was a lamb, reports the Sun.

I need to introduce this gal to a exclusive new game called "Cars & Garages". After that, we'll have even more fun playing "Hide the Sausage".

Japanese movie stars are as intellegent than their US counterparts.

#20 Bosses took advantage of the fact sheep are rare in Japan and most people do not know what they look like. They must not know much about dogs either. This is hilarious. Thanks A5089.

#21 One of Maiko's big roles was in a flick called "Violent Cop"...

When he discovers a man in bed with his mentally feeble sister, Akari (Maiko Kawakami), he thrashes the guy.

Got a feeling the role wasn't much of a stretch for Maiko...

Talk about a one-pass shoot.
