How much pain do you think most cats cause others, simply for existing?
We also need to ban non-vegan cat food
Cats who get declawed are generally indoor cats who wouldn't hurt anything but their owner's furniture regardless.
Also cats are obligate carnivores, and you're an asshole.
Nope. You're ignorant of biology. Enzymes have been on the market for a looong time
I know you might mean well because giving cats vegan diets with enzymes appears to reduce animal suffering, but consider for a moment that cats cannot speak to us. Cats are proficient at hiding their pain, and they cannot tell us if their vegan diet is making them ill.
The best thing you can do to reduce animal suffering as a vegan is not to have children. Creating fewer humans objectively decreases consumption, ethical and unethical. Have a cat, eat meat, do whatever you want, but nothing will have a greater impact on this planet than to help lower its population. Heck, even murder reduces animal suffering if you don't consider humans an animal.
I'm just saying that vegan cat food is very far down on the list of effective vegan practices, and it is certainly not ethical because you cannot determine the magnitude of harm it can cause your cat.
Im sorry the world is uglier than you think it should be, but having that attitude and capping it off with an implication that it's okay to cause another being lifelong pain simply because of their nature makes it pretty clear that you don't so much want a more ethical world for other creatures as much as you don't like cats.
I hope you stick to pet rabbists and guinea pigs, my friend. It's okay to be vegan, but if you're vegan and are against the type of food cats and dogs need to survive, just don't get a cat or a dog. It is very simple. They are not vegans. They never will be vegan and forcing them to be vegan is not very vegan if we still live by the idea that veganism is against animal abuse. Would you force a penguin to eat vegetables too?
You take up air others should be breathing, but we let you live.
Are vegans allowed to keep pets?
My dude, others simply don't see the beauty of this shitpost. Marvelous
