Not with what the original person said on twitter.
No I’m 100% done with that fucking attitude everybody else is having in this thread.
Yes veganism and vegetarianism is bad for cats and dog. I already thought so before reading this and already thought people who were feeding their animals that way were doing something wrong.
But contrary to all those “smart” people up there, I didn’t simply take it out on them with judgmental comments end exposition of knowledge. I am talking about those who seemed to have decided that the universal truth is that pet’s owners who feed their animal vegan food are abominable heartless cruel monster who wants to make their pets suffer. No exceptions possible!
Well then tell me “savant” people! Did it ever occurred to you that maybe, just fucking maybe, they didn’t know any better?
That since veganism was working well for them they also just wanted the best for their pets?
That they didn’t do much research, as so fucking many humans do, and found people who told them it was good so they thought that was true.
Or maybe they found research that said it was good and decided to believe them.
Are those even possible in that ‘’brilliant’’ mind of yours?????
Cause you know not everyone does intense research before making a decision.
But do they realistically do? Nope!
That doesn’t mean they do it because they’re a bad person, and to simply use the fact that you know something when they don’t to judge their whole integrity of character, I found this despicable and mean.
Yes it is important to tell people to stop feeding cats and dogs as if they were vegan. By all means everyone should be sending that message out there and should be telling pets owners about this.
But there are ways to do it! And being a judgmental ass about it is not the right one… if what you wish is to be understood.
When I was younger, let’s say about 13 yo, I gave my cat a bit of chocolate as a treat. Of course as you may expect my cat got sick. I didn’t understand why and it’s my mom who calmly explain to me that chocolate is very dangerous for many animals. I was heartbroken cause I had never meant to hurt my sweet little baby. Of course from that moment I never did it again and was telling everyone I knew who had pets to not do it.
Years later, I must be 24 now, I’m at a dairy queen and I see a family feeding some chocolate ice cream to their dog, to reward him for being a good boy.
My first thought is to explode! Don’t they see this is dangerous! How dare they give something bad like this to their dog. Don’t they like him!!!
And then I remember. I remember how my 13 year old self did the same, simply cause she didn’t know any better.
So I approach the family and greet them nicely. Then I explain very calmly that I am sure they didn’t know about it but that chocolate is actually very dangerous for their dogs as it could get him sick, or worse.
Instant reactions: “ oh my god! We didn’t know!! Thank you so much for telling us. We’re so so sorry”
And as I left, I saw the dog reach for more ice cream and the family say “No sweetie no more of this, it’s bad for you”
Now do you think this convo would have gone as smoothly if I just ran to them, saying they were heartless cruel monster if they fed him chocolate because the only explanation would be that there not caring about his health?
I can guarantee it wouldn’t have.
I know you all have the best interest of cats and dog at heart. And yes it is important to spread that information so that more people might see it.
I have nothing against what you’re doing. I have something against how you’re doing it.
No matter how right we may be, or what is the cause we speaking for, insulting people is not the way of progress. It is the easy way of people who refuse to listen and think themselves better than everyone else.
That may be harsh. I’m sorry if hurt someone. But at the same time if you were able to dish it so easily, then I sure hope you’re able to take it.
