I'd like more. Cheak me out on myspace, or e-mail me prettypurplestarlight@yahoo.com I love my vegan friends. Much love. Ofcourse Peace <-- no other way I'd want to live.
thats great that your a vegan! it takes a lot of commitment to go that far. but dont you think vegan dogs and cats are a little extreme? i mean, whether or not humans are born veg's is debatable, but its a proven fact that dogs and cats are carnivoirs. anyways, good luck to you! peace!
I thought the same when I first heard about people feeding their pets a veggie diet. I did a little research and it seems that dogs can do quite well on a veggie diet as long as they get all the nutrients in the right amounts that they need. Dogs are not exclusively carnivores. I never found anything conclusive on cats though. There are some that claim they can eat a veggie diet and others that disagree. Cars seem much more like carnivores though to me.
I agree, I found out cats are carnavors, I learned that dogs aren't. I understand its a personal choice I made for me to be a vegan, I've learned how healthy I can be will maintaining my life style, I've done research on whats in milk ( bacteria, and I found out humans aren't suppose to drink milk, I agree, in nature baby cows would drink the milk, I wouldn't ) I find it easy for myself to not eat milk or cheese, and I also dont eat and buy any animal products or products tested on animals. I find it easy. Its a good personal choice I made. When I had my dog I feed my dog what I would eat, I know I was eating the best foods for me. Peace, and I give much love
After I read an article about milk I stopped drinking it and have not had any in probably a year. I feel a lot better since I stopped drinking it and pretty much cut out dairy. I had read that dairy can mess with your sinuses and allergies but I didn't really believe it. I didn't think about it until recently when some coworkers were talking about having problems and I realized I had not had any this year, which is odd for me. If you are going to cook for your dog you should check to make sure he/she is getting what they need. I am sure their nutritional requirements are different than ours.
been a vegan for 10 days now! was a vegetarian for many yrs, but couldnt manage to do w/o cheese, even i really tried many times.... but NOW, something has happened, i don't even really feel like havin cheese and yoghurt and stuff. I REALLY ENJOY IT!!!!!!! GO VEGAN; or at least, try, a lit bit everyday, and after a while you might be able to make it. and even if you don't make it, it's the little changes that are important. one step at the time
Good job, it's always great to hear there are more vegans in the world About the pet issue, I'm strongly considering feeding my 4 cats Evolution Diet. I've heard lots of good things about that brand, and by making a slow transition i think it could easily work. I feel sort of like a hypocrite feeding my cats food with meat products. I may not support the meat/dairy industry with what I eat, but I am when I feed it to my cats. It's a disappointment that it has to be so expensive though freakon- I was also a vegetarian for many years (8) before vegan. I always looked at a vegan diet as being TOO extreme, but after getting more years under my belt and becoming more mature and aware, I realized that it's the perfect thing to do! Cheese used to be my absolute favorite food, but I now have no desire for it at all
I'm vegan and I share my home with 15 cats. They all have different preferences and tastes, some like my vegan dark chocolate, some like chickpeas or spinach or fruity soya yoghurt. But all of them would unfortunately choose meat over everything else. I'm a vegan because I choose to be, I haven't forced my husband or my family to be vegan or even vegetarian and I have no right to change my cats natural eating habits either.
Right on! Go vegan! I'm in the boat that says... you do what you can. Controlling your own diet isn't too much of a hassle. Forcing your own dietary conditions upon someone or something else just isn't natural. Sometimes you just have to let things be and let the natural order take place. If you have a pet that needs meat then I guess it needs to eat that meat to survive. I haven't gotten myself into the whole pet meat eating conundrum yet but I don't think I'd get too worked up over it if it is something a pet of mine NEEDS in order to survive.
Just make sure that if you're going to have your dogs follow a vegan diet to not give grapes, onions, Macadamia nuts and cocoa! They are considered to be dangerous. I switched from a vegetarian diet to a vegan diet earlier this month. If I had known how easy it'd be I'd have done it a lot sooner!
