    @[email protected], cats CAN NOT survive for long with a vegan diet. Its dangerous for them. Cats are carnivores.

    Please refrain from removing warnings about such dangerous facts. Everyone who killed their cats by doing so, have a nice rest of your life knowing you killed your loved pet.

    p.s. yes i am a cat owner.

      Wow I’m not impressed with the removal of a moderator’s response.

      Synthetic taurine is a thing and is widely used in formulated food. Cats are sometimes taken off meat based diets due to medical complications. The posts you removed were reasonable and explained why in good faith, the other poster made wild asertions not based on modern evidence and made anti-reality claims such as synthetic nutrients not being equivalent and ‘meat’ needs being scientific fact.

      They violate the rules of this comm and you are overreaching by interfering.

      All companion animals should recieve regular health checks by vets, and any major dietary changes should be done with medical oversight but that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible. Obviously a wfpbd will kill a cat, as the poster you censored pointed out. Your closeness is affecting your judgement here, and you cannot ‘own’ a sentient being.

      Banned for rules 5, 6, and 1. Please refrain from spreading carnist misinformation. Also the notion of “owning” another animal is speciesist.
