One of the oldest living dogs was a vegan. Ponder that, as Capps would say.
Dogs have some omnivore qualities. Cats, not so much. Cats eat grass when they want to puke. Reason? Vegetation makes cats puke.
Why are all the Gods such vicious cunts? Where's the God of tits and wine?

I said having pets is a bad idea, and being a responsible pet owner means invasive surgery. My recommendation? Don’t support animal breeders of any kind because they’re evil, and if you adopt a shelter animal, feed them vegan.

Collectively scale down animal domestication until there are just wild and free animals.
I've adopted 10-12 cats in my life. Every one of them from a shelter or found on the streets.

Your wish that we stop adopting them and fixing them only means one thing. More cats and dogs that nobody can care for. That means MORE suffering. You truly are short-sighted.

Also, no way to kill a carnivore quicker than starving it to death by refusing to feed it the nutrition it needs to survive.

You truly are advancing the notion that cats & dogs should suffer more. Very odd.

Or troll. I'm going with troll.
Vegan cat foods are a thing, yes.

You seem concerned about animals living free, what about the animals in cages feeding you and your cats? Do they matter?

You are simply belaboring the point. Ultimate sign of weakness.

Belaboring is boring, knock yourself out, but Smitty Higgins is hunting Pepe right now, thus the Lads and I will simply lie in wait.

I’m bored too, meat eater arguments are predictable, illogical and boring.

“But lions tho”
“But plants feel pain tho”
“But muh protein tho”

When your "personal choice" creates a class of victims, don't play the victim when I tell you all about it.

I have the right to knock on your door, distribute leaflets, engage you in conversation, don't kid yourself.
