Taurine has moral agency and is not vegan by choice.

The “Pretending to be dead” meme template. A 4 panel comic of two yellow soldiers standing across a field of fallen orange soldiers.

Panel 1. Left yellow soldier says to the right yellow soldier “How do you know if they’re actually dead or just pretending?”

Panel 2. Right yellow soldier says to the fallen orange soldiers “Cats can live on a vegan diet”

Panel 3. Fallen orange soldiers, no longer pretending to be dead, shaking in laughter. Clockwise from top-left they exclaim:

“ANIMAL ABUSER!!!”

“TAURINE”

“OBLIGATE”

“CATS DON’T HAVE MORAL AGENCY AND CAN’T BE VEGAN. VEGAN DIET == VEGAN. I AM VERY SMART BTW”

Panel 4. The yellow soldiers stab the orange soldiers to death.
