"How do you know" by War and Peas
People seem to be freaking out about vegan thing.
I am pretty sure the artist is referring to the owner literally going out and buying either wet food with meat chunks or some other meal with meat directly in it, as opposed to dry food with no meat bits.
44Kibble is still made with meat in it it's just been pressed and dehydrated.
It's a reference to some stupid ass vegans that think obligate carnivores can survive on a plant based diet.
9I'm aware healthy dry food contains meat. It's fundamentally necessary for cats. I could understand vegans not wanting raw or preserved meat in their house, and I think having dry food would be an easy compromise for most vegans, but the ones who are very loving of their pet companions would keep wet food and meat treats for their cats despite it.
Quite frankly if a vegan is so bad at research that they don't know cats need meat, I doubt they'd realize that dry food contains meat, and vice versa.
I think you are assuming something worse to be needlessly angry. I think you have an implicit bias that most vegans are idiots and that's lead you to your assumption.

Hey, thanks for getting all the cat abusers to out themselves so I could block them all... 👍
8I occasionally pop into politics threads for the same reason lol, very quick way to filter assholes out of my lemmy experience!

No such thing as a vegan cat. No such thing as a vegan cat. No such thing as a vegan cat.

Carnivore means that nutrients typical found in meat are required for a nutrient-complete diet. Carnivore doesn't mean that meat itself is needed. Vegan cat food exists and has artificial taurin added for example. The kneejerk reaction of CaTs NeEd MeAT ThO is so frustrating. Educate yourself and stop be hypocrits.
Edit: Should have guessed you just want to parrot your existing believes lol but sure keep downvoting
-26There's a lot more to a balanced cat diet than just the nutrients. Even feeding a cat cooked rather than raw meat will lead to malformities and deficiencies in the long run. Forcing a cat on a vegan diet is an experiment with their health and well-being, which will most likely cause it to suffer unnecessarily.
If you really are that militant about not serving meat, just don't have a pet that is an obligate carnivore. There are plenty of herbivore animals to have as pets.
26Yes, because cooking destroys certain nutrients. Has nothing to do with the source of the nutrients.
A diet is balanced as long as it contains all the nutrients an organism needs in a bio-available form and vegan cat food that checks these marks exist.
Not wanting animals to be needlessly killed isn't militant btw. but nice buzzword.

Vegans that are Vegan for the animals probably wouldn't feed a cat other animals, it makes no sense. There is Vegan cat food that works just fine.
-68There is not vegan cat food that works just fine, and you're a fucking asshole if you force an obligate carnivore to become a vegan because of your personal human beliefs.

No! Cats are obligate carnivores. A vegan diet would literally kill them painfully.

So a cat isn't the right pet for them. Abusing a cat is literally the opposite of caring for an animal.
The fact that this has so many upvotes is upsetting.
1Vegans for the animals that own an animal and deny it the choice of food are hypocritical.
-5Well. My cat gets regular cat food, but I do kinda deny him "the choice of food". (He's prone to get diarrhea and gets a specialty food for sensitive stomachs.)
I fail to see how choosing for your cat somehow would he wrong, since literally every cat owner does it. We don't sent them shopping and accept whatever they bring home.
9Sentient beings aren't food!

Vegan cat food is not just vegetables for the uninformed. It is made to have all the necessary components that a car needs in its diet, mostly it is just missing the death of an animal part.
