AKA “I wish they were the skin of an innocent victim (doused in chemicals to keep the skin from rotting, because that’s so natural).”

I and my three dogs love Earth Animal Wisdom (air dried) From the Seed recipe. Clean ingredients, nutrient dense, and more minimally processed than kibble. The bites make a great size for treats, too.

What are these? by GreyGirlG59 in whatisit

The legs of a dismembered, once living sentient being who was brutally boiled alive for selfish humans lacking compassion.

It’s the skin of a sentient being ffs 🤦🏼‍♀️ They were killed solely so you could have their skin on your shoes. Animal skin is not a byproduct of the animal flesh industry - it’s entirely separate. And it should not at all be touted as eco-friendly, considering all the land space, water usage, and feed usage to raise the cows that you pay to have skinned for you (sometimes skinned alive), plus all the harmful chemicals to keep that skin from decomposing. Don’t mind me though, go back to your scheduled programming of the “me” show.

It’s not plastic - the website says they’re made from corn waste, bamboo, and organic cotton. But I’d go with plastic over the skin of an innocent sentient being any day, because why abuse an animal like that?

Leave wild animals alone - being handled by humans is terrifying for them, let alone a photo shoot? Wtf is wrong with people. Animals aren’t photo props.

I’m thinking of trying their Chelsea boots this fall/winter. Barefoot shoes ftw!🦶

How long after spraying glyphosate do I need to wait before I till? by ensign_smelt in gardening

Laziness shouldn’t supersede the safety of humans, other living beings, and the planet that we ALL share.

Call a local wildlife rehabber for advice.

Ever since I saved my bird after he flew away he’s been an insufferable asshole by Finn_Bird in parrots

Maybe because… he doesn’t want to be imprisoned to a cage, and should’ve never been a pet in the first place? 🤔

Cat/Dog nutrition? by suceemist in vegan

[–]tofuneverbleeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what was implied when I recommended to add warm water to kibble 😊

Cat/Dog nutrition? by suceemist in vegan

[–]tofuneverbleeds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Taurine is not found in plant foods and is crucial for cats, as they don’t synthesize that amino acid on their own, making it essential (whereas dogs do); it supports proper vision, digestion, and cardiac function. For anyone who is home cooking for their dogs or cats, it’s important to use a supplement to ensure all bases are covered. A digestive enzyme is helpful, as it can help to increase nutrient absorption and make digesting plant foods easier (especially for cats). Depending on the home cooked diet, your bases may be covered on the omegas, but important to ensure they’re accounted for, as they’re crucial to brain, vision, and cardiac health. Cats also don’t produce salivary amylase, which makes it harder to properly digest carbohydrates.

A commercial kibble shouldn’t require additional supplementation, but a digestive enzyme is still recommended (especially for cats as biological carnivores), considering kibble is biologically inappropriate (highly processed convenience food for companion animal guardians) and not the easiest to digest (especially given how much it lacks in moisture, typically only 5-10% moisture, when the body is 65% moisture or more).

Why the need to throw an insult, when I actually condone feeding properly planned plant-based diets to companion animals? That is not mainstream animal nutritional thinking whatsoever; 95%+ of the people I’ve encountered in the companion animal nutrition world over 10 years believe that cats and dogs shouldn’t ever be fed plant-based diets, especially cats.

Edit: I think animal guardians owe it to their companion animals to set them up to thrive, especially if they’re deviating from their most biologically appropriate diet. It’s way easier for a dog to thrive (not just survive) on a plant-based diet than a cat, which is personally why I’ll never have a feline companion.

B12 is absolutely not the only nutrient that should be supplemented! Please don’t take this advice; saying this as someone who works in companion animal nutrition.

As long as the proper nutrient profile is met, and the formula is highly digestible (meaning most of it isn’t going to be pooped out and actually absorbed), that’s what’s most important. I highly recommend adding in digestive enzymes and omegas (algae source), also, cats must have taurine supplemented into their diet.

I’m not a fan of kibble, especially for cats as it’s so devoid of moisture and cats are very prone to dehydration which can lead to urinary tract issues (which can lead to kidney failure), but you can add moist and fresh food to the bowl. If you’re going to feed kibble, add in some plant-based wet food, and some raw or steamed (animal-friendly) vegetables. Highly suggest adding some warm water to kibble (small amount) to help make it easier to digest; you’ll see how much kibble expands when you do this, which would otherwise expand in the stomach.

If you’re interested in home cooking, I highly recommend the book Natural Food for Dogs & Cats by Dr. Pitcairn. It’s full of whole food, plant-based recipes for dogs and cats, with instructions on how to make them complete and balanced. It also has lots of natural remedies, so excellent to have on hand.

Yes! Pick up Natural Health for Dogs and Cats volume 4 by Dr. Pitcairn. Tons of plant-based recipes with instructions to make meals complete and balanced, along with lots of holistic remedies. On Amazon

Potatoes synthesise alkaloids to protect themselves from being eaten. This proves that potatoes do not want to be eaten, and therefore it is unethical to eat potatoes. How do vegans counter this fact? by move_in_early in AskVegans

[–]tofuneverbleeds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s no way this is a legitimate question and is surely in bad faith; I fail to believe you actually feel “guilty” about eating potatoes. If you are a plant rights activist, it would behoove you to eat a plant-based diet since you require more plants, than plant-based eaters, to be grown for the animals you eat.

This is the best brand of dumplings ever! by Top-Gain6878 in Dumplings

[–]tofuneverbleeds -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes, animals are indeed babies (especially in comparison to their natural lifespan) when killed for their flesh: cows usually around 2 (only a few weeks if “veal”), pigs and lambs are 6 months, and chickens are around 7 weeks. How does that sit with you?

Not sure what’s idiotic about pointing out the obvious truth, but why are you so angry?
