Why do we feel the need to impose our will/lifestyle on animals and

other species? like Cats, dogs etc.

 

Isn't it Human-centric to impose our lifestyle on other sentient

beings? and also interfering w/ life cycle balance?

 

(On a case by case basis, i can *acknowledge* there may be reasons for

keeping a cat/dog etc Vegetarian/Vegan- as explained to me by another

Veg group member eg- Cat/Dog was saved from euthanization- so by NOT

feeding them animal food-the owner was sort-of-not-upsetting

the balance of nature!!!)

---

BTW_ This Q is partly posed to be educated on reasons etc for above-

so prefer intelligent answers rather than long posts/rantings- and/or

long-winded editorials.(:-))

 

Thanks

Sam,

 

I think many people want to have their companion animals eat vegan as much

as possible in order to contribute to as little suffering of other animals

as possible.

 

Caity,

 

From what I hear, cats that are raised vegan from weaning are much more

successful than cats whose diets are changed once adults. I'm sure many

other people on this list have experiences to share (maybe someone should

sart a thread at the SFBAVeg bulletin board).
