Lord, it's hard to be humble - doo doo doopy doo doo daaaaaah!
Post number 36 (*EDIT*actually this is post number 37)

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU MAKE YOUR OBVIOUSLY, TOTALLY NATURALLY MEAT EATING CAT INTO A FCUKING VEGAN????
So that no animal is suffering to feed your pet.
What kind of idea is that a vegan diet can be staple, nutritious and enjoyable lifestyle for your cat JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT ANIMALS??? What kind of executive, authoritarian, egotistical, human decision makes it right to feed your cat (or dog) no animal products???
I can't belive this is such an absolute degradation and abomination of the nature of animals. You are denying a cat's instinct to eat meat and the natural cycle of life to eat meat. Is it a problem to buy fresh meat from a pet food store? You can go to your local butcher if it makes you feel so bad. The animals that you feed your pet from a butcher and pet meat store have all been killed in a strictly humane manner - you can ask them if you like.
You may not be supporting the meat industry with their mass harvesting of bovine product or sheep products but you may also be missing the fact that sheep, pigs and cows are an industry where they are bred for turing into meat products - I see this as sustainable. The objection to the slaughter techniques is also an issue. To obviously have meat products you do need to kill an animal otherwise it's bloody cruel to start cutting off tender loins before they are dead. The industry has regulations - you may not agree with them, but let's see how you would fare killing your own meat product in a humane manner - then you can propose to the industry to use that technique - they should always be looking for more productive and more humane killing methods.
Ehhh - I guess everyone has watched a documentary on big cats in the wild. Oh, hang on - no they eat antelope and zebra, that's cruel, they suffer, they do get eaten, no waste - and they are beautiful, majestic, natur............oh, hang on a minute - OMG THEY'RE BEING KILLED WITH THEIR BARE CLAWS????? OH NO NO NO NO THE JUGULAR AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!
Fish - this is the other one - is obviously from the sea. If you feed your pets fresh fish that you catch yourself, you know that it's fresh, that you would have prepared it yourself and that you are not supporting the fishing industry. Local fish mongers. Not only are you supporting your local fish monger, you know that it is fresh. You could even ask them about their fishing techniques to make sure that you are happy with the way they do their job before buying any fish from them.
C'mon, there has got to be more you can do than just turning your cat or dog into a vegan. You're not supporting the industry, but you're not stopping it. Do you think that boycotting companies like that happens? Do you think that making your cat eat vegan foods means that you're hurting the mass producing manufacturers that sell foods like that to millions - MILLIONS OF PEOPLE?
I don't want to be negative about it but it gets me angry - thinking that "I'll feed my pet vegan food so the little animals aren't hurting" and not supporting industry is naive. You are not supporting industry, nor local business, nor your community by owning an animal that eats meat and choosing for it to become vegan.
Firstly you should think about why did you buy a cat or a dog? They are MEAT EATING ANIMALS FOR CRYING OUT LOUD - buy a Rabbit, or a Guinea Pig, or a Pot Bellied Pig, Sheep, Alpaca and Ponies - they don't eat meat and are loving pets.
Why do you want a pet that eats meat? Is it because you can make the moral decision for them that they shouldn't eat meat because it is wrong? I want a pet and I don't want it to eat meat when it is a MEAT EATING ANIMAL.
Life and death is a cycle. I understand that manufacturers and their mass production, havesting and killing is not always the best, most humane or sustainable. People are very selfish. I think that it is selfish to make your pet eat something it would not eat naturally coz you want it to.
I know that these people will still feed their pets vegan food. I will continue to feed my pets meat.
Please be kind to your animals and give them the LOVE and RESPECT they deserve.
