You should not feed plants to a carnivore

You can feed plants to a carnivore, just don't expect it to be enough.

My dog, for example, loves carrots and cucumbers. They make great treats for him. But please don't substitute real meat food that he has evolved to eat with carrots and cucumbers

Dogs are omnivores like pigs or humans. They can get everything their body needs from plants. Cats are carnivores, their digestive system is completely different, they are designed to eat raw meat.
We are not. If the meat is slightly too old, too warm, not well cooked we get super sick. Pigs eat a rotten squirel and be fine.

.....

Pigs evolved to eat meat?

are you shitting me right now?

Google search and your comment say they're omnivores. But given your comment they're still more resilient to meat than us?

Can we even call ourselves omnivores at this point? We are so much worse omnivores compared to other omnivores, aren't we just herbivores with a tolerance to meat?

You're probably right. I'd love to talk about that, but in my native language and face to face. This is exausting. :)

Aren't dogs some type of omnivores instead of carnivores?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

well, my dog certainly isn't

but yes, you're obviously right, they are generally seen as omnivore. Although they lean harder on the carnivore-side than the herbivore-side.

Not general omnivores - there's a specific type for that category. I'm no biologist though so ill have to look it up and get back to you. I could be wrong. Don't trust a stranger on the internet lol
