I'm not a vegetarian but I still think your post was unnecessarily harsh. To my knowledge, dogs and cats are carnivores (and, I guess, so are ferrets, I wouldn't know, I've never owned one), so to provide a proper diet, meat should be included. If a human doesn't *need* meat to survive, and eating it promotes bad things (I'm not going to go into all the "bad things" I could rant about) then, why should they. But just because a human can survive and thrive without meat doesn't mean another species can. So considering this website is animal-friendly, I would assume the people here would feed their animals whatever food they need to stay healthy and happy, regardless of their own meat-eating choice.
