“Balance”
You are entitled to your dietary preferences for whatever reason but animal consumption by other animals including humans is literally how nature works to maintain balance. Going the extreme route when what you're opposing is big meat ag and imposing it on others is annoying.

You know, if y’all were vegan except to feed your cats meat we wouldn’t even be having this discussion.

And how should we more accurately characterize what nonhuman animals experience in these violent industries, miss blocked me so I can’t respond, @abiiggaaill?

It's good to know where your lines are.

You’re actually stupid

Show us a humane slaughterhouse then.
I feel like people forget you can still care about animals AND humanely eat meat 😐

What if it's a decision made for the countless victims currently being violently occupied in animal agriculture?
What bothers the most it's that is not a decision made for the cat's benefit, but more for the owner's own comfort.

I see, so if I stick my cat's head in a cone and chop it off with garden sheers that would be okay so long as I didn't feed it a nutritionally complete plant based meal beforehand?
Replying to @areikm
For example. A chicken cone is very humane. It’s over before the animal even knows what just happened. They feel nothing if done correctly. Or a chick cull. When done properly the baby feels nothing and it’s over to fast. This doesn’t mean clean.

maybe it’s b/c if they acknowledge that cats can thrive consuming complete nutrition so too can they and they’re not ready for that. Otherwise the double standard is nonsensical, especially when one side inflicts far more violence and abuse than a vegan cat owner ever could.

I love how it’s a hoard of people who choose to abuse and force their lifestyle onto countless animals every day coming for vegans accusing them of abuse. Like even a modicum of self awareness, please. 🙏🏻

It strikes me how people always expect vegans to be ignorant and uninformed then when we clap back with actual data and facts they’re at a loss how to respond. Like do you really think we came to these decisions lightly without proper consideration and due diligence?

Why is the irony always lost in these people? “Just let animals live, man.” Uh…
Replying to @Unpop_Science
Why do that though? Just let the animals live, they are animals. Cats will kill bugs and mice for you, and they will kill birds on instinct. They quite enjoy it, why not let them? They aren't killing people, just other animals, and mostly weaker animals.

Unpopular to say, but fuck it: ‘Obligate carnivore’ is an ecological term, not a nutritional term. In nature, a cat must hunt, because their digestive system requires the *nutrients* found in meat. Those nutrients can be synthesized.
There IS consensus on vegan diets for cats. It’s animal abuse. Cats are obligated to carnivores. PETA tried having a “vegan lion”. The animal starves because their bodies do not get the proper nutrients from plant based foods.

“Can cats be vegan” discourse is insane because there are almost 0 vegan cats in the world, but anti-vegans act like animal justice warriors for opposing it while approving of all actual atrocities happening to animals on an unheard-of industrial scale
"Can cats be vegan" discourse is insane because every vegan who brings it up acts like they're the first person to think of the concept. This has been studied before your parents were born. We have literal DECADES of evidence that cats can't be vegan. This isn't up for debate.

You are going to have to expand on the idea of humane meat because we’re not buying it. Do you have video footage of humane slaughter?
Replying to @kaesepi
- there ARE ways to respect the food chain and humanely consume meat. we’ve been doing it for centuries before the meat industry capitalized off of mass slaughter. you can do your own research OR i can give y’all a thread for better understanding. but please, have some respect.

Hang on guys, we gotta hear from the person who briefly worked at a pet store
Replying to @seafoamsim
i briefly worked in a pet store and having ppl speak so ignorantly and so confidently about veganism for cats is so beyond infuriating. i do not care what nancy in your vegan fb group says. your cat will die a horrible death by your hands if you don’t get over yourself

Men who actively call out shitty behaviour from other men and who actively dismantle patriarchy and rape culture do exist but they are extremely rare.
not only will yall not beat up rapists you wont even speak up against abusers if theyre your friends. not a single man spoke up on my behalf w any of my abusers.

So why not be vegan in the cities? 🤷🏻‍♀️
Replying to @kittehbrainzz
it’s definitely always been a heated debate, but meat can be humanely procured and consumed when we do our part to respect the food chain! it’s just getting harder to do (esp. in cities) the more the meat industry profits to make stupid shit - like triple decker burgers and junk.
