True or not, to us non-veganistas it’s a darned funny statement. You made my morning.
I spent 2 1/2 years working for a marketing company part-time (I’m retired), representing Science Diet to customers in a retail store. SD was heavily into educating us so we could converse with authority on dietary issues for pets. I learned a lot and am thankful for the opportunity it provided. Actually, had we gone to the next level in training we’d have been in the veterinarian level of pet dietary education.
Dogs are carnivores. Cats, omnivores. Pet food companies (not just Science Diet) spend a lot of money in research and development to insure good health in pets. Pet nutrition shouldn’t be taken lightly, nor should pets be considered mini-humans. Their needs are specific, and different from us. Perhaps the main issue confronting pet nutrition today is their owners not making adjustments to their diets through the pet’s life cycle. They age just as we do, and this needs to be taken into consideration when picking a proper food for an existing life style.
What this vegan ninny proposes is preposterous. If he wants to follow such a lifestyle, fine. It affects him, no one else. But to inflict it on his pets is a very bad decision.
Sorry, for sounding off, but this really tripped my trigger.
