I remember when this was just a joke on Futurama. Why does life imitate art in the dumbest way possible‽

Iirc all the recent hate is focused on vegans who think obligate carnivores can be turned vegan.
Don’t abuse your pets or just maybe don’t have pets at all.

Obligate Carnivore is a great band name.

What vegan thinks you can turn a cat vegan? That’s like thinking you can turn a cat hegelian or something.

it’s possible we’re facing a future in which meat is not sustainable and we won’t want to spare any for cats, it’s something worth studying

Everyone who keeps posting this ignores that there has been vegan cat food for years, supplemented with necessary vitamins etc and backed up with scientific research. They didn’t make it up out of thin air as you seem to be implying. Sceptism or disagreement is fine. Painting the other side as lunatics is not.

Pssh everyone knows the only correct diet for a cat is their natural one: giant apex ocean predators (salmon and tuna) and corn-fed livestock. All mixed up with preservatives and taurine and ash, just like their mawmaw cats used to make!

As the other user pointed out: it is equally insane to feed a cat tuna, beef, pork, etc, that has never been a part of their natural diet. Most cat food is equally artificial and ‘lab-produced slop’, unless there’s a cat food out there made from mice and birds. Both kinds will have to do the same amount of research to make sure that it will actually fulfill a cat’s dietary needs. The vegan one just causes less harm.
Also, reported for being a jackass.
