    There are plenty of vegan friendly pets to choose from too. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, pygmy goats ect. If they are willing to accept insectivorous animals that list gets longer.

    Why choose a pet like a cat if their diet is a philosophical problem for them? Choose a different animal.

        I’m aware of some vegans stances being against having pets, but if people are feeding their cats and dogs a vegan diet at least some portion of vegans aren’t against it.

        For folks who want pets who are also vegan they should choose a species compatible with that instead of forcing it on an animal who’s biology isn’t going to thrive under those conditions.

          Yes, you’re holding a sentient being as a slave for your amusement.

          Nope, I’m holding THREE of them as slaves for my amusement.

            If anything my cat is holding me as a slave for her amusement. We play on her time, eat in her time, wake up on her time
