Dangers Of A Vegan Diet

[Kieka]

There have been threads on here about vegan diets. People asking how to do them or what's the harm.

Here is a real world example of what happens when cats go vegan. Please, feed your cat a biologically appropriate diet. If you ended up on this page searching for how to do a vegan diet, just don't do it. Cats are made to eat meat. It isn't a choice for them, it is what they are literally built for. Feeding a cat vegan would be as cruel as forcing a rabbit to eat meat. In poor little Zanes memory, #catsarecarnivores.

This is so sad.

If I met those foster parents I would....

So, so sad If you want a vegan pet, there are plenty of omnivores and herbivores to choose from. Don't pick an obligate carnivore as a pet then try to make it vegan (or even vegetarian). It will NEVER end well

Such a beautiful boy.

Rest in peace, precious Zane. I'm so very sorry they essentially starved you to death.

Oh my gosh. Completely preventable and that makes it beyond tragic.

 

[Norachan]

That's so sad.

Vegan diets and cats do not mix. Period.
I've yet to meet a vegan fed cat that a). was healthy, and b). had owners that were non-vegan.
Companies that even make vegan cat food IMO ought to be boycotted...

The irony is that "inhumane butchering practices" is one of the reasons that many vegans choose that foodstyle; yet they refuse to see how feeding a carnivore like an herbivore is inhumane. The logic fails.

I hope the local SPCA, Humane Society, and/or law enforcement were informed. The people responsible for this Zane's death should never be allowed to own animals again.
