people always pull this argument on me like it’s some kinda gotcha:

“would you make your pet dog eat vegan?”

no.

i’m vegan.

i would never have a pet dog because i would never try to own another animal.

hopefully this will start shutting those people up at least.

Ahah I think I found the thread. I love /u/emma 's response xD that's a camp you didn't talk about

Cats only want three things: food, cuddles and my office chair, sometimes with my lap between it and them. They do not give a shit about "incarceration" or "authoritarianism". I've read many essays about these topics to my cats, and they always respond by getting me to feed them, or by licking themselves downstairs.

the study admits that dogs on raw meat diets appeared healthier then dismisses that by saying the dogs in that group were younger. they should have clarified that with statistical analysis because it leaves a big hole in their conclusions. or maybe the brief news article neglected some important details.

the conclusion seems to contradict thousands of years of natural selection and evolution in the diet of wolves from which domestic dogs are descended, that the species would have survived better if they had been eating grains, vegetables and fruits instead of meat.

also the caveat: "further research is needed to confirm whether a raw meat or a vegan diet is associated with better dog health outcomes."
