What do vegans and vegetarians feed their dogs and cats?

[Muhammed]

Simple question

Generally they feed them regular dog food and cat food.

My cats, being Actual carnivores, eat "meat." Sometimes I make my own cat food for them since most cat food is lacking.

So they are hypocrites.

No. It is not hypocritical for a vegetarian to feed their cat meat just like it's not hypocritical for me to never eat cat food.

cats, dogs and people all have different nutritional needs and tastes.

Its hypocritical for someone to be against eating "corpses" and then feed them to their pets.

If somebody is against people eating corpses, it is not hypocritical for them to be against cats or maggots eating corpses.

Many vegetarians are not even against other people eating meat. It's simply a personal choice to not eat meat.

However, most vegans cheat and occasionally and eat meat while professing to be vegan in order to virtue signal. Those are the hypocrites.

You would criticize no matter what a vegan does. Most cat food comes from the waste products of human consumption.

Carlin, that wasnt very nice. And a lie.

I think most vegans understand that this is an imperfect world. So it's unrealistic to think that everything can always be perfect. A good example of that (for vegans) is the dilemma with cats. Like I said the other day, there is some disagreement among vegans on that topic. Some feel like they have no choice but to feed their cats meat....others don't have cats at all to avoid having to pay for products that come from abuse and cruelty.

But I want to post the definition of veganism that most vegans go by (from what I've seen.) And I'm going to bold the pertinent part, in regard to what is currently being discussed...

"Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose;"​

I'm sure you can see how that bolded part is applicable to what we're talking about here, right?

Yep, hard to walk out of it either way

Simple question

Anyone who puts a cat or dog on a vegan diet should have that pet removed, get fined/jailed for animal cruelty, and banned for life in owning any animal.
