Re: I will never be a vegetarian in my entire life, but I'm just curious about the pe

My good friend is vegan and her dog is on the raw meat diet. It's supposed to be the healthiest for carnivorous animals or at least dogs in this case. Carnivorous animals need meat obviously so any argument against feeding meat to them is just silly. I've heard of people who put there dogs/carnivorous pets on vegan or vegetarian diets. And they might be living and surviving but are they thriving. Answer is no because they would be lacking vital nutrients and proteins and such that they can't get from fruits and vegetables. Maybe they do get some but definitely not as much as they need.

That being said I'm not a vegetarian I used to be for 4 years. Long story short after I moved away from home when I was 19 vegetarian food was a lot more expensive back then. Without parents buying me the healthy alternatives I went omnivore again. Me and my partner though don't really eat that much meat. We always have a big box of gardenburgers in the freezer. I have no idea when the last time we had regular hamburgers as it's been a very very long time. Also 3-4 days a week we have a big salad for dinner and that is it. We're very very minimal on red meat. It's rare we do have it usually it would just be for special occasions such as a holiday roast. I'm more opposed to how animals are kept and mass slaughterd in today's industrial world. I think all animals should be free range and have plenty of room and quality of life while living. I know that is idealistic, but I'm not opposed to hunting at least the animal has a fighting chance at escaping. At anyrate the point is nature is a perfect design everything balances out the other. If we didn't have wolves and tigers in the world there'd just be a huge overpopulation in other animals. They're is a reason for everything. That is my opinion /end rant *takes a bow*
