I feel very called out. I generally try to eat less meat, but can’t quite bring myself to give it up completely.
Random question: Is it possible to feed a cat/dog/snake on a plant-based diet?
Big time struggle session material here, but I don’t think it’s ethical to feed a vegan diet to your omnivorous or carnivorous pets. The are lots of unknowns/uncertainties about the long term health impacts, and it’s unfair to choose that on behalf of an animal that can’t consent or give input.
Hmm, interesting.
The other thing I struggle with about having a pet is the notion of ownership. Like having anything live in a fuckin cage, or trapped at home during an 8-hour shift. Unless I have a family or co-op with rotating schedules, it feels kinda barbaric.
An added point to ones mentioned here is that many of the required amino acids lacking in plants that need to be supplemented in hypothetical vegan cat food, are already coming from plant sources in standard cat food because its cheaper, I believe most use industrial fermentation
