That bit about vegans raises some interesting thoughts regarding veganism and pet keeping. As with most things, I'm sure it depends on the individual.

In my experience it's usually the whole factory farming thing that bothers them the most. I'm not sure I've ever seen someone complain about someone else having a pet dog, unless they weren't taking care of it or something.

Would be interested to see a poll on how they feel about ethically raised livestock, if that's more acceptable than most of the stuff you find in a supermarket.

I knew one couple who were vegan except for occasionally buying meat at the farmers market from a farm where they knew the animals were treated well.
