I think my dog is a vegan because it seems to love my daughters veggies than her own food. But I think it might just be because she is getting food from my kid lol.
Im guessing these are the kind of people that think that eating meat is "unnatural". IT'S NOT! Killing animals out of cruelty is, but this is about getting vitamins, being healthy. It is in nature, IT IS.
As I said earlier - I reguarly take me cat to the vet to get checked out and make sure he is ok. I'm not stupid guys, if I saw that he was sick or suffering from what he was eating I would stop and feed him meat again. However, he has aced all if the tests (for iron and amino acids etc.) so the vet has said that everything I am doing is amazing. In fact, as I mentioned, he is far healthier than many other cats he has seen (as many if them are obese ect. as a result of their diets- consisting of store bought packet filth).
So please don't say that I am harming him or am acting stupid - I am not one of 'those' vegans who eats nothing but chips and sauce who knows nothing about nutrition. I have been vegan for 7 years and thought long and hard before converting my cat to a vegan diet. I researched the facts and personally believe that he is now far happier than before (he is 8 years old and has eaten vegan for 3).
As you said their are stupid vegans though, like the ones in the article
My cat is vegan and is perfectly happy - and has been for 3 years. The people this article were referring to were just stupid - as they only gave their cat potatoes, rice milk and pasta (not formulated food that has all the essential vitamins a cat needs) and before anyone says he is unhealthy I regularly take him to the vet (who says he is one of the healthiest cats he has seen in a while)
Also for the ignorant people that think babies need milk to live, yes they do .... HUMAN breast milk, not cow milk. Which is what people have been doing for thousands of years. There has been no scientific fact that proves a baby needs cow juice to survive - in fact many doctors and nurses try and get new mothers to breast feed, instead if use formula.. Why do you think this is? Because EVERY nutrient they need until they are ready to be weaned naturally occurs in breast milk.
The people in these stories you're reading are just stupid and would kill their cats/babies regardless of their diets.
Cats are carnivores. Meaning they eat meat and only meat. If they ate vegetables. They would be herbivores. If they ate both, they would be omnivores. But they eat only meat and are designed for meat. They are made for hunting, their teeth are not flat for chewing plants, they are sharp for cutting meat. Either you are joking, or you are blind and have a rabbit, not a cat.
The only way your cat can be "healthy" on a "vegan" diet is if it's eating every little animal it sees. So while your high-fiving yourself, your cat is out there eating songbirds. If it's an indoor cat, it's eating cockroaches, spiders and other creepy crawlies, which are all filled with toxic chemicals from poisons. And no plant food has all the essential vitamins a cat needs unless it's been *GASP* genetically modified. That's right, all the essential amino acids your cats been eating from "vegan" sources comes from GMO bacteria. Even if the bag says otherwise, there is no law to punish them for lying, though they usually don't print it's GMO free. And I think it's lovely that we live in such an awesome world where every baby survies to adulthood if left alone. Mothers die. Mothers sometimes can't produce enough milk. Formula is extremely expensive in third-world countries. You should learn how life works before demanding the world change for you.
UGH. You have to do it right, guys! There is vegan cat food. BUT IT'S MADE SPECIFICALLY TO BE VEGAN CAT FOOD. Vets and scientists had to put blood, sweat, and tears into a vegan diet that's actually safe! You can't just feed your cat whatever fruits and vegetables and expect them to survive! And some cannot thrive on a vegan diet. They're not humans! Humans may be herbivores but cats are carnivores!
Actually, it does. Think about it. When you eat mest Will your stomache just "spit" it out and make you sik? No. It Will still digest the food and it Will give you the neutrition it contained. This fact alone says that we are omnivores. Our teeth are also created to chew BOTH meat and vegetables, not just one or the other. And if by "built" you mean our body type Then that's wrong too. Evolution "sacrificed" the body type that allows us to sprint fast into a more stamina built body to hunt. We can't run fast, but we can run for hours. Another reason for this new body sacrifice was for a bigger, smarter and more clever brain which helps the hunting part (weapons, traps, tactics etc.) Hope you've learnd something. (Sorry for late comment, just got so mad at this ignorant fellow.)
So please don't say that I am harming him or am acting stupid - I am not one of 'those' vegans who eats nothing but chips and sauce who knows nothing about nutrition.
