I knew a couple who were vegans, but bought the best steak for their dogs

I am thinking more of those who are veggies because of their aversion to killing animals.

This of course is not a debate about the rights and wrongs of doing so. I just wondered if they had pets and if the same principles were adhered to.

There was a vegan on 'Come Dine With Me' and she had a cat.

AND fed it normal catfood. She said, her veganism was her choice, but as the cat would probably not choose a vegan diet over a tasty meaty meal, she considered it natural to feed it meat.

Hello Susan.....out of curiosity I googled " vegan pet food " and judging by the recipes etc I guess the answer to your pondering is that some vegans feed their pets none meat products .

I feed my cats meat - they're cats! It's not fair that I decide for them what they eat, ..(well apart from they get whiskers whether they like it or not...well actually that's not true, they decide that they want whiskers, they won't eat anything else apart from Felix as good as it looks. So really they're in charge)

Really it's because, I choose to be a vegetarian, cats can't choose to be one, whereas if you happen to be a human, you can choose to cook your own meat thank you very much.

You know those wandering thoughts one has that have nothing whatsoever to do with anything, but just pop into ones head?

Well, I just had one such thought.

Do strict vegans have pets? and what do they think about those pets eating meat/animals?


Don't ask me what 'I' think cos it will take me some time to ponder :-)))))
