No, your dog will not thank you for putting your insane Hotcoldwetdry beliefs on them
Every year in the U.S., our 180 million dogs and cats eat about 25% of all animal-derived calories consumed. Since the livestock industry is a top contributor to climate warming gas and water waste, the environmental toll from pet food is enormous.
It’s also largely unnecessary, as some in Los Angeles are beginning to realize.
The Los Angeles Animal Services Board heard a proposal last month to switch dogs at city shelters to plant-based food, and has since voted unanimously to study the feasibility of the idea. Commenters on social media immediately proclaimed, often in all caps, that “dogs need meat,†but science is not on their side. Dr. George Fahey, head of the animal and nutritional sciences laboratories at the University of Illinois, has stated that a daily ration of corn and soybeans provides all the vitamins, minerals, protein, fat and carbohydrates a dog needs.
Of course, the same, let’s call them …..assholes….. who will do this to dogs will mostly refuse to give up their own meat consumption. Instead of forcing beloved pets on a veggie diet, Warmists should just give up their own use of fossil fuels. Better, yet, don’t get a dog which is going to be mistreated.
Dogs are carnivores; people who think that they can make vegetarians out of them will find out that they ain’t as smart as Mother Nature, and when these poor dogs die of some horrible deficiency disease, then maybe they’ll figure it out.
Though I doubt it.
