    Oooh, what if he and Bret Michaels went on a diabeetus-awareness tour?! They could do "Rock of Love 4: The 'Beetus."

    Also — AP style asshole, here — I think it's champing at the bit.

    Cats are OBLIGATE CARNIVORES. They do not have dentition for eating plant material. They do not have the digestive tract for it. They go blind without the essential amino acids found in meat. Do you hear that? THEY HAVE to eat meat. Your kitty may love nomming on squash and corn and potato chips and melon - I have met many a cat who loved the odd "vegan" treat - but cats can't thrive with that stuff.


    If you can't stand living with a creature that eats meat, you shouldn't live with a carnivore.


    Mmmmgh. MEAT. Drool.*


    *Don't mind me. I've drastically cut down my meat consumption for health and money reasons, and sometimes days go by where I don't see much more protein than beans, lentils, and blocks of tofu. I want to gorge myself on a bloody shank of muscle. Gnngh. (Sorry to all veg-type people who do not dig that kinda thing. I didn't mean to gross you out.)


    Anyway: tscheeses and cats do best when fed meat.

    I am pretty ambivalent about human vegans (hey, it's your choice, more power to you, I guess) but making your pet be vegan? that is ridiculous.


    You don't want to live with a tiny carnivore? here's a thought: get a god damned rabbit. cats and dogs are not designed to be vegan. see those pointy teeth in their mouths? those are for tearing flesh. it's called the food chain, dumbasses. seriously, what do they do when their precious little vegan kitty drags in a freshly killed mouse or bird?

    I attended Woodstock '94 as a music magazine reporter and as far as I am concerned, M*FUCKER MICHAEL LANG OWES ME MONEY:


    $360 = the ticket I paid for when I could have just waltzed in for free without being searched for booze and other ridiculous contraband (i.e. tent stakes for my tent) had I arrived two hours later than I did;


    $120 = the WORTHLESS SCRIP I still have (and to you local food joints that were screaming about the scrip I publicly protested in print: your $17 pizza slices sucked ass!)


    $12 = the warm, domestic beer I almost punched another woman over purchasing (said woman was my mom's age but by that point I didn't give a damn because I have never needed a drink so badly in my life).


    "Priceless" = overturned Port-o-Potties + gross naked dudes rubbing against me and other images I cannot, unfortunately, erase from my brain.


    Lesson Learned = Aside from the availability of (overpriced) food, I think this was the closest I have ever to come to living in a refugee camp!


    Conclusion = Why any municipality would give, you, Mr. Lang, an event permit is beyond me.


    DO YOU HEAR MICHAEL LANG? YOU OWE ME $$$$$$$$$$$$!!!!!!!!!!

    Some day people will start to think that maybe the choice to be responsible for the life of a companion animal is too similar to making the decision to have a child. And decide not to do either for ethical reasons.

    @krismry: Well said. That's how I look at it; I've never understood people who see pets as furniture or toys to be discarded. I've always subscribed to the Giacometti/Northern Exposure philosophy:


    "If you were in a burning house and there was a cat and a Rembrandt, what would you save? The cat...you would save the cat, because the cat is alive. The art is dead. It's just paint on a canvas, ink on a page. To live for art is to deny life. It's just to destroy life."

    "Could there be vegan pets? Yes. Would I do it for my own animal? Never," he said.


    the good dr. really said it best with this. oh, and while i understand that there is a big problem with over-feeding pets in this country (and i personally live in a red meat-free household - for the humans), i can tell you that my labbie is much better behaved and happier (not to mention shinier and with excellent lean muscle mass!) with a lean hamburger and rice supplement to his all-natural kibble. i might add he also LOVES sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, edamame, green beans, peas and lots of other veg.


    people, these are ANIMALS, and animals (including most people) need some meat protein.

    If you can't deal with the way nature made dogs and cats you have no fucking business owning one. Get a fucking bunny instead of torturing a non-consenting animal. SPCA should be all over that shit.

    i'm a vegan. i'm a hardcore vegan... what?! i am not anorexic... i am a vegan. life sucks for vegans. we can't go out to eat unless we go to specific restaurants. we have to watch other people eat things in the lunchroom that gross us out. we are criticized for our choices, i catch people snickering behind my back. more than one co-worker has made snarky remarks about how i'm really anorexic and being vegan is my excuse for not eating at work functions. like i said, it sucks... but if it is something you believe in it is ONE HUNDRED PERCENT WORTH IT!


    that being said, my dog eats dog food. he respects my choices, and i respect his. the day i set a beggin strip and a potato on the floor and he goes for the potato... i will buy him vegan dog food, but not before.


    i love my dog.

    Want a vegan pet? Adopt an animal who's an herbivore. I feed my cat what her body needs, not what fashion dictates.

    My dogs eats ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. I feed him a RAW diet, after much research I came to the conclusion that it sounded like the best for him.

    He eats raw [with bones!] chicken, pork, beef and recently even rabbit. He gets yogurt, eggs, fruits, veggies, and organs. He's been eating this for the past 5 years.

    Super clean teeth, great coat, no health problems [people always think he's a puppy], best of all? Eating raw makes his poop into solid little pellets, no big soft smelly gross dog poo to pick up on the street.

    All his food is human grade, no scares about pet food incidents from China or whatever and I can get it anywhere anytime.

    If you are interested...
