I have to agree with this.......

I don't have a problem with vegetarians. It's not a choice for me, (my body can't handle non-animal protein very well, and the most I could be and stay healthy would be ovo-lacto), but I don't object to people who are.

And I don't object to people who are vegans, again, personal choice, as long as they don't get in my face about it, I don't care. Just don't threaten my health by trying to force me on such a diet.

However, I cannot handle those who are either ignorant enough, or fanatical enough, to put their dogs and cats on a vegan diet. People, dogs and cats are *carnivores*, not omnivores like we are, and not herbivores. Unless you're supplimenting the hell out of their diet, it's not safe for the dog or cat, it's not healthy for them, and it's not humane either.

The reason for this rant is this post on the subject I read in stupidpetowners via mock_the_stupid.

(SIGH)

Tagline of the day

"All my clothes go into the warm wash cycle together. Any garments that can't cope with that are weaklings and are culled from the herd. I've got better things to do with my time than sort laundry into little piles." -- Ross TenEyck
