It's just unfertilized, but it easily could've become a lovely chicken or other such poultry, except someone stole it and mushed it up into dog food. Is the idea that the essential missing amino acid is present in eggs?
Also, I just have to voice my opinion that you are being SO cruel to a ferret if you're trying to make it into a "veggie-fuzzbutt". Consuming fruits and veggies, and starches, and fibers, amongst other things, can even be deadly sometimes to ferrets! And they can't live on eggs alone! So, I hope that if you are a vegan/vegetarian & you own a ferret, that you never ever try to force him/her to do the same. That is so horrible. Read "Ferrets for Dummies" and you'll understand. Be kind to fuzzies, or just don't adopt one at all! Save it for someone like me who will feed it the BARF diet, along w/ other things that would probably = total terror for you all(so I'll leave it at this). Try reading "Ferrets for Dummies"!!! (don't read it if you're queasy, for example: it tells you how to offer live prey to your ferret)
Thats all! Please don't take offense, as I certainly do not mean any, and I fully respect your opinions, and keep up the good work! |
Ok, first off, bad idea to go onto a pro vegetarian forum and pretty much bash vegetarians. I've been a vegetarian since January, vegan since August. Eggs are vegetarian, but not
vegan. There is never a living creature inside the egg unless a rooster is around to fertilize it. And most farmers, or people with chickens, don't even keep the roosters near the hens, unless they are intent of having chicks.
Another thing. Why the heck are accusing people of trying to turn their ferrets and such into so called "veggie-fuzzbutts"? Most people on this forum think it's cruel and harsh to cut them off from what they need. I feed my cat beef and turkey, stuff like that! Yes, I may gag through the process, but I still do it! Just becuase
we have one belief, it doesn't mean that we will force
our animals to have the same. What kind of monsters do you think we are? You might as well just kill the animal right away, because it's not gonna last long with that kind of diet! "Read "
Ferrets for Dummies" and you'll understand". What does that mean? That we don't know how to take care of our ferrets? Because if that's what you mean, you couldn't be more wrong. I don't have a ferret myself, but many people on this forum do! So please, next time you wanna ask a question like that, don't.
