Ellen DeGeneres launching vegan pet food brand?
Mother Nature Network ^ | 12/15/11 | Michael D'Estries

"The couple also are developing a line of vegan pet foods — after discovering a void in the market for people looking to feed their dogs and cats vegan vittles," said the Chicago Sun-Times.

If you live in the neighborhood, the least you can do is have some steak or chicken or BACON on hand so that when DeGeneres' dog escapes and shows up at your door with that desperate look in its eyes, you can say, "I know ... I know... they are called 'canine teeth' for a reason...here's some T-bone!"

What a bunch of idiots! I worked for a vet when I was younger that said cats need to eat meat or it can lead to vision problems. Dogs & cats are natural carnivores! Stupid should hurt!

Well...subtlety is an artform.

Perhaps the DeGeneres/Rossis make an exception for fish?

More power to her if she could make vegan pet food that gives the proper nutritional balance and enzymes that these mostly carnivorous pets need. There’s a market out there for vegan pet food, and she’s willing to fill that market niche. Maybe running her own successful business would nudge her a bit rightward.

Dogs are omnivores but prefer meat, cats are obligate carnivores and must have meat to be healthy.

Trying to feed a cat a vegan diet is nothing less than animal cruelty. The cat will sicken and die.

Probably vegan pets who are prowling for mice, rabbits and turkeys.

More liberal cultists forcing their pets to follow their religion.

Pray for America

I smell a very expensive class-action lawsuit a brewin’.

“I fed YOUR petfood to my pet, and now my pet is sick/dead because of YOUR petfood, the only thing that will replace my companion is money ... lots and lots of money”.

There was a FReeper who was ZOTTED a week or so ago from going on a rant about this. He’s supposedly had his pets on this type diet for years and went off on other FReepers.

There’s a reason wild kitty cats aren’t eating the sprouts in your garden.

My pet bird loves some salami ....
