This wasn’t a study. These are self reported anecdotes. Perhaps owners who give their cats vegan diets are too foolish to take them to the vet. It’s just a flawed study that doesn’t even demonstrate statistical significance. Highly irresponsible to even publish this nonsense.
The title is misleading. This isn’t a study it’s self reporting what pet owners say and the main point is IT’S NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNICANT ANYWAY!!! I had a hunch this was BS but reading the first two paragraphs confirmed it. Why even write this article?
Liberals want all of us to go meatless, close down the farms where we raise cattle, etc. I love animals but love hamburgers. But they claim meat causes global warming. So, start everywhere including pets diets.
So, I myself went to a vegan diet for serious health reasons, and as such, I feel compelled to condemn this garbage article.
Do not EVER do this to a cat.
Cats require taurine, which can be found in trace amounts of certain nuts, but cats cannot eat nuts. Hence, feeding them meat, poultry, and fish.
Cats also require carnitine, which is only found in meat, especially in red meat.
Feeding them anything other than what the require is animal abuse (which I thought the stereotypical militant vegan was against).
My cat is fed a routine of free fed high quality grain free kibble throughout the day, and for dinner she gets a tin of whole sardines, mainly in water, but sometimes will get them packed in a high quality olive oil with nutritional yeast. When she is not given sardines, I will make her boiled chicken or turkey breast (yes, boiled) mixed with smashed peas and nutritional yeast.
She also gets cooked ground venison 4-6 times per month.
She is happy, healthy, 20 years old, and can run circles around the typical 2023 kid.
We need to stop this vegan propaganda campaign and come back to reality. This is why people like myself are demonized, ridiculed, and harassed. The author of this article should be ashamed. I feel a vast amount of people reading this article will be compelled to try this, and then sit there flabbergasted as to why their cats are sickly.
This is all based on the owners answering a questionnaire not on science. Its not like Vegans have a political, social or mental reason to lie about… oh wait…
Total nonsense. Vegans are forcing their choices on their pets to justify their lifestyle. This makes as much sense as a carnivore forcing a pet cow to eat only meat. Cats are carnivores. Put a hungry cat in a room with one dish of tuna and 500 dishes of vegan food and see which one it eats.
You can make a study that will find biblical meaning in the walk of a duck if you structure it properly.
