    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9860667/ The Impact of Vegan Diets on Indicators of Health in Dogs and Cats: A Systematic Review (2023)

    “However, there is little evidence of adverse effects arising in dogs and cats on vegan diets. In addition, some of the evidence on adverse health impacts is contradicted in other studies. Additionally, there is some evidence of benefits, particularly arising from guardians’ perceptions of the diets. Given the lack of large population-based studies, a cautious approach is recommended. If guardians wish to implement a vegan diet, it is recommended that commercial foods are used.”

      I would expect vegans to understand that non-human animals can’t consent to changes to their natural habits.

        Agreed, that’s why I’m against breeding further pets. Any form of being a pet is against an animals natural habits. But while some pets do exist, it’s best to take care of them while doing as little harm to animals as possible.

        Not a vegan BTW. But the shit shoveled into dry dog foods is not really meat either.

        Nothing about dogs are natural. They are our genetic experiment as a species.

        So the dog is right, it doesn’t have to goto the vet or be toilet trained.

        Nice try fido, get off the keyboard!
