this is so fucked why are people so okay with this? a pet is part of a family, it's a responsibility, if theyre in the state they can be rehomed then rehome them!! half of my pets have been rescues and I've rescued hamsters too. they have so much more life in them than this! dont let them get eaten by a fucking tiger oml. these animals should be in an environment where this is not a necessity to ask the public for their pets to feed them!! most people debating this probably feed their pets biscuits and bread. I'm sure a predator like this is dying for a McDonalds ass version of its diet

I've been vege since I was 16 and this has really thrown me with how people on here are so okay with this. life shouldnt be subject to your disillusions :(

There's been a handful of studies now, finding that house cats can often (but not always) thrive on a fully plant-based diet as long as it's properly formulated. Can't help but wonder how many other animals who we assumed are "obligate carnivores," maybe, like, aren't?

I mean...

It is deeply fucked up and anyone who gives the family pet to a lion should never be allowed to have pets OR children.

But a lot of people get small rodents or rabbits because they think they are just goldfish (which is a whole different level of animal abuse but...). And then they lose interest they just put it in the oubliette or "release it into the wild". So... cycle of life and all that is probably better? Same with horses. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have a father like Trevor Moore who can teach them how to dispose of the body.

So yeah... I think I am okay with this? As fucked as it is?

If you're a meat eater, you don't get to frown upon this. If you're a vegan/vegetarian, you're can frown all you want. It doesn't make any difference, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.

Can't the prisons just donate some unwanted scum?
