if cats were vegan, they'll be eating grass like the gazelles in the Serengeti.

you don't feed lions a vegan diet just like you don't feed giraffes a meat diet.

not that hard.

I just had a look over there, every post bar one in the last week is about vegan cats.

They're not handling this well at all.

By some freak statistical improbability, a significant portion of the Lemmy community revealed that they're all qualified to debate the science of the nutritional needs of animals.

This topic touches a very soft spot in my heart as I've had to watch a cat die from being forced on a vegan diet. I've seen the results, and it is so very sad. Keep your goddamn morals out of other's lives. Especially an animal that has no say in the matter. Fuck vegans.

10+ years vegan here. You should not feed plants to a carnivore. Maybe in the future, but not today. I attended a PETA workshop about a healthy plant-based diet a couple years ago and everybody agreed on that. I met a lot of different vegans and not once have I heard this opinion.

Keep your goddamn morals out of other's lives. Especially an animal that has no say in the matter.

You are on to something here.

Apropos of nothing - a few months ago I was looking at one of the sites that curated Fediverse block lists. (Can't remember which one.)

Now some of the blocks were quite reasonable. If a hundred site admins look at your site and go "wait a second, these guys are Nazis" and block the site, that's not so controversial, OK?

But some of the blocks were, uh, how do I put this...?

Individual drama between site admins and their cliques.

Beef.
So much beef.
So much beef that I immediately thought "gee, how can c/vegan even safely exist in Lemmy? There's so much beef everywhere."
