Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Hi all - I thought I'd just quickly introduce myself, then go back to lurking! I've recently decided to give veganism a go, having been veggie for 5 years. I am 30, work for an oceanographic laboratory, am studying for an earth sciences degree (already have a BA), and own two cats (both rescued ex-ferals) and two dogs. I do agility with one of the dogs. Although I have chosen to be veggie/vegan myself, I feed my dogs raw, fresh meat, fish, and veggies - I believe this is the healthiest, most natural diet for them, and I am as concerned for their health as I am for my own! Unforunately that does mean I am still a part of the meat industry, but I don't see any way around it. Dogs are carnivores, I'm not. I've found this group very useful so far, with links to different sites, and its interesting to see how people differ in their beliefs too - we all have to draw our own line. You may be interested to know that " Vegan: the new ethics of eating " can now be downloaded complete & free from www.vegan.com - worth reading, even for committed vegans. Ok, back to lurking now Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Excellent! From what I know, dogs don't need meat. There is a food that's non-meat for dogs, not criticising your practices, merely informing. Cat's do need meat as they are true carnivores. helen.stafford [helen.stafford] 01 May 2001 13:41 vegan-network New & Free Vegan Book Download Hi all - I thought I'd just quickly introduce myself, then go back to lurking!
