Just because I never eat meat doesn’t mean my animals shouldn’t.

I am with eng104 – Dogs and Cats have very different systems than humans. Just look at our teeth and theirs – they are designed to eat meat. Finding pet foods that aren’t full of junk fillers and finding foods that actually list what type of meat are in their food is even tougher, but not impossible. Just read the labels.

“Meat byproducts” does not sound healthy to me. If the company selling it to me cannot identify it I am reluctant to feed it to my dogs.

I realize that my buying meat products for my animals could be seen as in conflict with my personal beliefs on eating meat – but then again I can survive just fine (actually better) without meat. They cannot.

Life feeds on life. I just have the choice of feeding on plants.

These are great ideas to help the environment! However in response to a previous comment regarding animal diets- cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores, they require meat in their diets. It is not necessary (and often detrimental to the animal’s health) to feed a vegetarian diet. Look for alternatives and you will find foods that don’t contribute to the meat industry!

Good ideas, but I’d simply add to number 4 that it is incredibly important to detach ourselves from the environmentally destructive meat industry. Vegetarian food is readily available and does not contribute to the economy of violence against animals and the earth.

Cheers.
