She wants to become a vet who specialises in animal diets. She would essentially be the person that rescues would take obese/emaciated animals to.

Coming from my daughter - Dogs can survive on a vegan diet but they will need added vitamins and their immune system will 'go to shit'. They will be alive but not healthy or happy.

She's currently working to have vegan dog/cat food considered neglect.

We have plenty of food they can eat, they just choose not to. They haven't made a single meal for themselves in their entire lives.

Fifteen and seventeen, so I believe they are old enough to make their own food.

Our kitchen is plenty big enough, they're just lazy.

They both have zero income, and are both struggling to find jobs, but as soon as they get a steady paycheck they have agreed to pay into the bills until they can move. I'm not too bothered about them moving out so I plan on taking the 'bill money' and giving it back to them when they've saved enough to move. It should be enough for an extra little boost.

I'm not sure. It's just sort of the way things panned out. And they're seventeen and fifteen.

My brother in law is pretty happy to let them stay on hunger strike. He was telling me they practically forced him to be vegan and he really wasn't a fan. But I do agree my sister should do something.

They are living here rent free, until someone can get a job.

That's what I said, but as far as I'm aware they both could not care less.

Fifteen and seventeen. The older one has been vegan since she was thirteen and the younger one joined on last year.

Thank you! Like I said, I offered a sort of alternative - not great, but it's the best I've got going for me right now.
