Cat food, was Question About Chickens, (cats)

[Guest guest]

Hey, Jeff. If you aren't going to go the kitty vegan diet, at least be

sure that whatever you buy doesn't have " animal digest " in it. Animal

digest is anything that once was an animal including roadkill and euthenized

animals from shelters.

Surely from a compassionate, vegan-ish point of view, " animal digest " is

therefore better than non animal digest. I mean, road kill isn't great, but

the animal would be dead whether it was being eaten or not - so at least

fewer animals are being killed.

 

So, I'd say definitely go for " animal digest " - after all, cats would quite

happily eat road kill if they were wild, since it's easier than hunting.

they tend to take critters from animal shelters peter, grind em up, and toss em in, collars and all

and its not like it just has that in it..of course all that food has wotever else the flavor is suppose to be, beef, tuna, nuclear waste, wot have you

so, not like its any better, since all it is is cheap filler... Peter May 6, 2005 5:11 AM Re: Cat food, was Question About Chickens, (cats) Hi Lynda> Hey, Jeff.

Hi Peter

 

That definitely fits with the vegan ethic more.

Animal digest contains animals that are euthenized which includes the

chemicals to kill them. It includes roadkill that has laid there and

bloated and rotted. It contains animals from auctions that didn't stand up.

It includes animals that died from disease.

 

Some of these diseases can harm the animal you feed it to. Some of these

diseases can then be transmitted to their owners.

 

And, actually, unless next to starving, unlike dogs, cats prefer life kills

and generally don't go for carrion. They are quite fussy.
