"I care not for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it."~Abraham Lincoln~

Not trying to start a flame war here, but I thought this was interesting in the light of something my bf said a while ago. He believes that the most selfish thing anyone could do would be to force their diet on another, their pet especially. Whether they are veggie, vegan, or whatever. Mind you, he only said it after I said I was cool with feeding the dogs meat, and meat based foods! ;*) - apart from anything else, there is nothing else to be had 'round here.

Hugs to all,

Then shouldn't the dogs be left to fend for themselves then you might find that they would probably go through rubbish bins etc eating vegan food (if there were no meat) instead of hunting birds rabbits etc.>

Hi Chelle et all ( strange name ?!)

I started a similar thread weeks back and I was condemmed for feeding my rescued

cats on commercial cat food rather than lashing out over 8n quid just to find

out ( as many others have ) that vegecat is not what they want to eat. Even

though in one case she was so ill she had to be fed as she was too weak to feed

herself, i was still forcing this un natural ( who said that vegecat was

natural? ) food/ lifestyle on them. I was also told that I was wrong to keep

pets, again even though as I explained, they are free to come and go as they

please. I also do not believe in keeping pets and am dead against people who

breed animals for captivity, or having any animal guests unless you are saving a

life.

It only shows that not all vegans are tolerant/ well adjusted/ even dare I say

it humane!

What ever happened to peace love and happiness.

Loads of love from the valleys of South Wales to everyone....

I don't see that it is cruel to feed an animal. It is better than not feeding it, and it is better to feed it a healthy diet than an unhealthy diet and the oldest known dog in the world is vegan.

We seem to be getting some emails after the answers have arrived!!

Anyway, with regard to the comment about vegans being tolerant - I have not

really found this to be the case. A large number of them are the most

prickly people that I have ever met.
