Vegan Woman Forced Her Fennec Fox To Go Vegan, And Here’s What Happened
https://www.boredpanda.com/ ^

Posted on 04/12/2018 8:14:50 AM PDT by BBell

Fennec foxes eat rodents, insects, birds, rabbits, and eggs, but this one doesn’t. For years, vegan blogger Sonia Sae has been raising her pet fox Jumanji on a vegan diet, and it has developed all sorts of health problems. Recently, however, a few people worked hard to spread the word about this behavior they call abusive, and the internet is infuriated.

According to experts, a fennec’s diet in the wild is comprised of about 90% animals and insects while the remaining 10% consists of various plants they dig up. Naturally, they need a lot of protein when living in captivity as well. Forcing her omnivore Jumanji on a vegan menu only, Sae has probably messed up its entire nutrition. For example, fennecs really need calcium and taurine. The latter is an organic compound that’s widely distributed in animal tissues. Without it, these big-eared creatures will probably develop reproductive and heart problems. And this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Sae has already admitted that Jumanji is half blind, suffers from spontaneous convulsions and a severe skin condition. However, she refuses the idea that its diet is a cause of these problems. “They use the word ‘abuse’ to describe the act of feeding [it] food that no animal had to die for. Despite the obvious oxymoron, any other non-vegan alternative DOES involve abuse by default,” she said in a Facebook post.

People have already contacted local animal rights authorities and are waiting for their response.

Sux to be the fox. However, when this one dies, I say give her another of the same species so she can reproduce the vegan experiment. Then she can report her results and we'll see if she stands by her assertion that the diet is not at fault.

At that point, give her another to repeat the experiment once again.

How many of these foxes will die before the Truth will penetrate her skull? I say...all of them.

“Does anyone here happen to be a vegan?”

That would make one hell of a t-shirt:

"I am Vegan"

In fact, it would only take a little work with a black Sharpie to make one from this model:

“Vegans are nuts! Never meet a sane one.”

My daughter had decided to adopt the vegan diet for health reasons. But she refuses to give up honey, and will eat fish on occasion (still loves sushi).

That said she doesn’t attest to the same insane religious-type idiology. DOES still buy/cook locally raised meat for her husband and kids, so not the typical “vegan”.

That said, yeah...most of the ones I know are bat-sheeeet crazy.

Aww, poor little foxie. (Not quite doggy)

And yet they rail on about how meat is murder. A pox on them all.

That bottom lip looks like it has it’s own cleavage.

I personally do not like women with big, puffy lips. It looks like they are wearing a set of those wax lips or someone punched them in the mouth.

Looks like a bit of Botox in those lips. Isn’t Botox from bacteria? And aren’t bacteria living organisms? Should a vegan be using anything derived from a living organism?
