My wife is rather the opposite of JohnDonne, she thinks feeding your dog anything except the raw meat diet with home cooking on the side, is abusive.
JohnDonne is espousing the virtues of causing animals to suffer. Feed a carrot to a carnivore and hope it all works out. LOL.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

She does feel sorry for pigs, still eats bacon tho. Still feeds them to her dogs.


The raw diet folks have a point, but it is very expensive and you are locked in with raw meat because there is no fucking way Tango will eat kibble after years of raw meat.

My wife sympathizes, she recognizes that we have won the Lucktocracy and that not everyone can afford raw meat, she just asks that folks check the ingredients and only feed their dogs the high quality kibble with the most meat protein.

My neighbor Gregory, from Poland, feeds his dogs a mix of quality kibble and boiled vegetables.

Bear in mind, dogs do love kibble, but it's like feeding them junk food everyday, kibble is basically treats, two meals a day of candy.

My wife would say that the raw meat saves on the vet bills, because eating kibble candy gives dogs health problems. Shortens their lives and quality of life, significantly.

One of the oldest living dogs was a vegan. Ponder that, as Capps would say.

There being so few vegan dogs, what are the odds of that?
