Why do these threads always have to turn into vegan/veggie bashing fests? Yes, a lot of vegans/vegetarians are thick, and take things far too far, but we are not all like it, just the same as all meat eaters aren't heartless immoral murderers of cute fluffy animals....
Sta~ple, some vegans believe that keeping a pet that eats animals/animal products doesn't fit with their moral code because it means they have to support (in some way) an industry they don't agree with. I can understand that, but would rather they just didn't get those pets in the first place as I feel forcing a veggie/vegan diet on another animal is wrong.
Redshift, your post makes no sense- carrots aren't sentient beings, corn on the cob cannot suffer and most animals can. Even fish.
I just wish people didn't feel the need to belittle other people's lifestyle choices just because it's different from theirs. I don't do it about people's religions, dietary habits, lifestyle choices etc etc, but whenever I see a post about vegetarians/vegans it seems to be acceptable to "LOL" about it all the day long.
(And for the record, I find the whole vegan snake thread ridiculous and cringeworthy) |

| tha was cartainly an interesting conversation, what i dont understand is why it was either feed it mice, feed it tofu (and kill it) or have it put down..whay was rehoming not an option? surely thats the obvious one. anyone who would suggest putting an animal down just because of what it eats in my opinion is a complete a*** I have nothign against vegans and can udnerstnad there views but surely the world would not survive without carnovorous animals wed be overrun with insects, rabbits mice etc. |

I personally am a realist lol, stuff eats stuff, that is all, its been evolving in that direction for 3.8 BILLION years, its a circle of life (Thank Elton for that one) and 1 person thinking that eating things that have only fallen off trees etc is not going to change the way things have been for well 3.8 billion years is a very long time.
What a lot of these people dont understand is that if we didn't cook and eat meat we would not have evolved such intelligent brains to be able to ponder the plight of plants and animals that they now dont want to eat lol.

| Totally agree, if you can't bear to feed a carnivorous or omnivorous animal the correct diet for its needs due to a lifestyle choice that makes it immoral in your opinion, then rehome it to someone who can, don't keep it and be selfish. |

It makes me cringe to think that someone would suggest putting a snake down for the simple, unchangeable fact that they can only eat mice :(
Snakes don't have morals, they have inscint. It is wrong to force an unnatural concept on an innocent animal - weather it be a snake, dog, cat ect... |

| It wasn't a suggestion to merely put an animal down, that wasn't the point being made. They were feeding a snake a diet that was unnatural and would have killed it eventually, by the thinking of the thread to save the life of mice the snake would have to die either quickly or prolonged with a incorrect diet. |

!!! Stupid people. Makes me ashamed to be a veggie (well, technically a pescy but people tend to laugh when I say that...).
I own a dog, rats and a snake and they all eat meat (the rats less often than dog and snake obviously).
I don't agree with forcing your own opinions/lifestyle on other people and trying to do it to pets is just cruel imo. If you are not prepared to feed an animal meat, don't get a carnivore as a pet! |
