Eat that roach, Fido. We can’t have you messing up the environment. Now where is my phone so I can get Uber Eats to send me a burger and fries. LOL

There are headlines that just give me pause to fear for the future of humanity. This is one such example.

My cats eat the occasional insect; but, only when they catch them.

Yeah - no. My dog is getting meat and meat by products! (And probably soy kibble)

Even my most militant Vegan in the family is now thinking its NOT the healthiest way to live.
Lack of focus and problem solving points to long term brain issues.

I was going to say the same. Our cats love a good, crunchy fly when they can catch it. They’re both big Maine Coons, so they wreck the house — literally — trying to catch them.

Quality dog food is already expensive. I considered buying deboned chicken, a bag of rice and broccoli...boil it all together. I’d come out ahead, I think.

Screw the bugs AND the climate.

This food is not fit for pets.

Libtards can eat all they want.

We had cats that loved eating Camel Crickets.

Our cats eat bugs all the time. They’re also good mousers, though they don’t really eat them. Just gifts on the doormat.

My cat will be shocked to learn that the rabbits he kills and eats are actually insects.

Eat a bug. Bill Gates says so.

Our billionaire globalist overlords are out of hand.

They still travel the world and eat real beef.

So dumb. What’s the footprint of culturing and growing these insects, Of culturing and growing what the insects are fed?

My cat will eat the occasional fly or other bug, as well.

My daughter recently moved to FL, and they have a screened in lanai, so her cats can now “go outside”, and have caught some tiny lizards, but just seem to play with them so far.

Believe it or not, insects, crickets specifically, are 20 times more efficient than beef when it comes to protein. And honestly, do you really think your cat or dog is going to care where their food comes from?
