What do vegans and vegetarians feed their dogs and cats?

Simple question

What do global warming moonbats do about their pets? They say 25% of all meat derived food in this country is eaten by dogs and cats.
Now that they know this, are they going to kill their pets? Bomb animal shelters?

Good question; you mean other than their dog/pet-food? I know that you can feed pumpkin or apple to dogs; not too sure about cats though. I think cats can only eat meat.

Of course you can! My dog loves fruits and veggies. But she cant rely on them.
Cats are obligate carnivores. They cant thrive without meat.

has the cat eaten the girl?

Yes, it appears to me three cats are eating her. One is licking its chops.

Do you have eyesight problems?

Stirring the pot is right!

I don't have pets right now. So...I can't really answer your question.

But I will say this.... Based on everything I've seen and heard, believe it or not, dogs can be vegan.

As a matter of fact, one of the oldest dogs to have ever lived (who was in the Guinness Book of World Records at the time) was a lifelong vegan dog. She was a border collie named Bramble.

I'll set this video to start at the part about Bramble.



And I've heard from lots of vegans that have healthy dogs on plantbased dog food.

As for cats... I think that MOST vegans will agree with non-vegans that cats are obligate carnivores. There are SOME who disagree with that. And there actually are companies that make plantbased cat food, that supposedly has all the nutrients cats need. I haven't looked into that, so I can't say too much about it.

But I know there is some controversy among vegans about cats. Some vegans don't want to have cats because they don't want to purchase cat food (and btw, dog or cat food that you buy at the store is horrible and comes from the worst conditions) and there are a few hardcore vegans who say that if you give your cat meat, you aren't a true vegan. But I think those types make up a small percentage of vegans overall.

Well, that's Purina store bought food. I'm not surprised it's crappy.

I just looked at the ingredients of V-dog (a vegan brand) and compared to the one you posted it looks a lot better. Here's the website.

But as I think you and I talked about before...homemade is best. Why are you asking about this btw?

Yes, that one is much better. And cheaper, but still very expensive.
This thread was half trolling half sincere lol. I really didnt know how far many of you actually clung to your beliefs.
