Pet owners who force their cats to be vegan could risk breaking the law

[Powerogue]

We are omnivores. We can survives a plant only diet. Cats are carnivores, they can't without getting seriously ill. Is that really so hard for these vegans to understand?

[Tack980]

Those who feed cats vegan diets should be forced to only eat lawn grass. Seems equivalently fair to me

[yetgdhfgh]

FFS If people wanna be vegans then adopt a rabbit or a goldfish!

Dont own a animal that is a well known carnivore that needs meat to survive!

It always makes me laugh when these vegans say 'oh i give my cat lettuce and he is healthy' then you find out they let there cats outside and is prolly existing on mice and birds and other things it can kill when the owner lets it out.

I agree with what is said and that if you want to own a cat then you need to give it the diet it needs no exceptions!

Dogs technically are omnivores, they are scavengers. They eat fucking anything.

dogs jaw structure and teeth say they are not omnivores and are meat eaters. dogs have zero flat teeth for grinding plants, seen in all mammal omnivores on the planet. also dogs do not produce enzymes for breaking down nutrients found in plants. if anyone has there dog on a vegan diet there is a 100 percent chance they have an overworked/enlarged pancrease.

When they say omnivores it means they can digest and get nourishment from almost anything but cats need Taurine which can only be found in meat tissue.

Sure dogs evolved to be hunters just like us but our digestion has allowed us a greater choice of food sources.

Good. Cats are carnivores; they're not supposed to be fed a plant-based diet.

[yetgdhfgh]

The cat should go find it's own meat instead of depending on other people's money. Nothing is free in this world.

I said the same thing to my cats and they said 'Ok heres a dead mouse at the end of your bed in lieu of rent payments' LMAO

Man this feels like people who go to chipotle because the ingredients are "healthy" and then proceed to eat 3 burritos for one meal. It's not this companies fault if their customers are too stupid to realize you're not supposed to give a cat a 100% plant-based diet. I haven't done much research on the company so if they explicitly advocate entirely vegan diets then you can ignore the previous statement.

I just hate that nowadays it's more frequent to see a product change because the general public refuses to use it properly and like to treat things as magical "cure-alls", only to complain when there were side effects to using it incorrectly.

Right? It’s about as bad as the obese sows that have the audacity to BLAME fast food restaurants for their obesity lmao. As if fast food restaurants are holding guns to people’s heads. Absolutely fucking mental, learn self control.

Cats I understand, but dogs can do it and be just fine. My sister, who’s a vegan, also has her dog on vegan diet and he’s does fine on it. He’s pretty healthy and it stopped his skin allergies.

you realize dogs are carnivore and dont have a four chamber stomach to break down plant based food? its entire body is literally designed to process protein based meats. your sister is an idiot sorry.

edit; It would take a full check of a veterinarian to give any credit to that statement. I very much doubt the dog is doin fine internally.

[Appelgren]

Damn some of those vegans are insanely stupid. (note: some. lay down your pitchfork sjws!)

The thing i dont understand about vegans is that you cant stop predation no matter what especially when you force that onto animals.

Now i eat meat and i love to eat meat but when i see people abuse livestock it makes me extremely angry cause though i know these animals need to die it doesnt mean they should be treated shitty before it happens.

But iam a realist and vegans need to understand just because they dont eat meat it doesnt mean the world will follow suit. It just isnt gonna happen so stop wasting time stopping your little purry from eating meat and start making time making sure the meat industry follows ethical standards of treatment towards livestock cause you will make more of a difference doing that then giving your cat a few carrots and a aubergine!!

[Clone]

All the shit that goes on in the meat industry and people focus on cat diets to stick it to vegans.

When my cat goes in the garden all it does is eat grass. If I had 100 of them I wouldn't need to mow my lawn.

Feed it a normal diet recommended by the vet; so no idea what that's about

[Stelio Kontos]

lol fuck vegans amirite.

If they're idiocy is harming/killing their pets, then yes, fuck them. Not different than anyone else willfully harming their pets.

[EnclosedOne]

well its been scientifically proven that vegans brains are smaller because they're not getting the protein they need from meat so its no surprise that they're all fucking dumb as shit. they should pass a law banning vegans from owning any pets that require meat in their diet

My cats and dogs does that to but then they come into my house they puke all over my carpet!!

I really dont know why they do that

100% agree. throw all the Vegan cat owners in jail and allow them to only eat grass just to see how long they last.

Seriously cats need meat in their diets. I always thought dogs did as well, but if dogs do fine on a specialised vegan diet then I don't mind that as long as the pet owner knows what they are doing and is responsible.

[Simca]

What kind of monster forces an animal to adopt food based on the owners ideology. It's an animal, a carnivorous animal. Stop trying to force it to be something its not.

Yeah, this makes me pretty sick. I would not have kind words for anyone I meant IRL who admitted to doing this.

Try different food, IDK about Cats but Dogs typically eat grass to force them to throw up from an upset stomach.

[Daethz]

Cats are Carnivores, forcing them to be vegan is literal animal abuse, these people should have their pets taken away and be banned from ever owning pets again.
