I don’t like it. I can not understand it within a second. It is too much (questionable) info. I am vegan but that data is not beautiful
this is (at least partially) based on poore-nemecek. it’s bad science gaining entrenchment.
Considering how rare it is for anyone to pay enough attention to the complex and difficult processing needed to feed an obligate carnivore a vegan diet without fucking it up, I’m going to call bullshit on a vegan being allowed to have a cat. If you believe that strongly in whatever it is, just don’t have a cat instead of screwing them up.
Even a dog is dubious, because again, most people can’t be trusted to make their own dog food with meat and not screw the animal up. The extra steps to make it a vegetarian diet is beyond most people, and a vegan diet is harder to manage. So, you know, pick a companion animal that doesn’t eat meat at all, you’ll all be happier.
It isn’t the diet itself that’s the problem. It’s humans being fucking morons and thinking they can handle the job when they can barely handle picking their nose. It’s like the idiots that feed their dog grapes, raisins, and chocolate because “it hasn’t hurt him any”. Yet is the word they forget to add.
And, as shitty as it will seem, vegans aren’t smarter or more reliable than anyone else. If anything, the kind of zealot that’s going to try and feed a cat vegan instead of just picking good foods that are sourced well are less capable of using their brain properly because blind faith is a sign of stupidity.
Did you actually try to do it? It’s not that hard. You can even buy it, you don’t have to make it yourself
No one is suggesting that vegans make cat food from scratch. The way to do is to buy kibble from a reputable brand that has the necessary synthetic taurine, b12 and vitamin A.
Aren’t the meat products used for pets by-products of the meat (for humans) industry? That is, isn’t it the case that no additional livestock animals are slaughtered to feed pets, beyond those that are already being slaughtered to feed humans?
and the feed grown “for animals” is largely a byproduct of plants grown for people. it’s incredibly dishonest.
“Full transition to nutritionally-sound vegan diets would spare from slaughter the following numbers of terrestrial livestock animals annually globally (billions): Humans 71.3”
71.3 billion humans slaughtered each year huh?
You know it means what the humans consume.
It said livestock animals.
