“I am so sick and tired of people making as if these overweight little hippos are perfect and there is nothing wrong with them,” Tooth said. “Panda Clothing and its shareholders disassociates itself from the derogatory post which was an attack on the female form. It is unacceptable, shameful and has no place in Panda’s value system,” it reads.
