Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Hi everyone, In the late 80's my (vegan) brother was looking after some stray kittens, and fed them on vegecat, with the result being they had to eventually be put down due to ill-health caused by malnourishment. To date, at least here in Oz, I know of no reliable vegan pet food suitable as a complete diet in itself (ie with no animal products added) for carnivores, especially cats. I fed my (late) dog some meat, but I don't think cooking up vegan pet food every night is realistic for most people anyway. As much as I love dogs, cats etc., if we're seriously against animal exploitation we must be against the pet industry and push for compulsory desexing of all companion animals.

Even though in one case she was so ill she had to be fed as she was too weak to feed herself, i was still forcing this un natural ( who said that vegecat was natural? ) food/ lifestyle on them. I was also told that I was wrong to keep pets, again even though as I explained, they are free to come and go as they please. I also do not believe in keeping pets and am dead against people who breed animals for captivity, or having any animal guests unless you are saving a life. > It only shows that not all vegans are tolerant/ well adjusted/ even dare I say it humane! > What ever happened to peace love and happiness. > Loads of love from the valleys of South Wales to everyone.... > > --------------Boundary-00=_9C8YP4J1VA4000000000 > >Content-Type: Text/Plain; > > charset= " iso-8859-1 " > >Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable > > > " I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for i= > >t > " =0D > >~Abraham Lincoln~=0D > >=0D > >Not trying to start a flame war here, but I thought this was interesting in > >the light of something my bf said a while ago.
