    Except dogs are not vegans. You want a pet that does not eat meat,get a rabbit. Ok,two bonded,neutered rabbits from a shelter is your best bet,but I digress. Anyway,it bothers me a lot that people feed animals what they did not evolve to eat. Dogs and cats have short intestines (like us) and do not have plant digesting micro flora either (nor do most humans,(except Japanese.).

    Compare a rabbit,cow,vs a dog's cat's or human's GI system and you will see what I mean. Most birds (including chickens) are also omnivorous,but end up being fed mainly grains,leading to obesity,fatty liver.

    I volunteered in wildlife rehab for six years. Only feed animals what they evolved to eat was pounded into our heads with a sledge hammer. All this forcing the whole world to be vegan will lead to a number of detrimental consequences,as I have discussed before. One size does not fit all.
