    I like my pets, but I sometimes feel conflicted about giving them a bunch of meat. I think my chickens aren’t as unethical though, but taking their eggs might be.

      I’ve read there are some ideas on how to feed cats non meat diets, but IMO until there’s like some solid ground and you do it following some expert opinions it’s not a good idea.

        how to feed cats non meat diets

        That is honestly an idiocy, anyone doing that is hurting their cat for no other reason than ideological. If you don’t want a pet that eat meat, maybe don’t get a carnivore ffs.

          I asked my vet what she thought about cats being fed a vegan diet, and she said she didn’t have a problem with it because they do that for cats with allergies already. Although taurine is a legitimate issue.

    Only pets I’d consider are rescues, adoptions, or animals that for some reason or another can’t live/survive in the wild. And then, do my best to feed it vegan pet food.
