    Let’s go to the extremes here: let’s say I’m a vegan, and love snakes and want my snake to not eat live mouse, do you think I can feed the snake vegan snake food?

    This is all hypothetical as I dislike snakes and love bacon.

      well i mean, snakes are pretty fucking stupid. assuming the snake can digest it properly, and gets the required nutrients, it should be fine.

      However we can also consider that mayhaps you live in NYC which has a rat problem, perhaps you should just feed your snake rats instead.

      You can tweak this metaphor and get plenty of real life examples. Cats are obligate carnivores. There’s been lots of morons who went vegan and decided their cats could be vegan, too. I’ll leave guessing the outcome of that as an exercise to the reader.

        I believe cats can’t properly digest the plants right? Probably kills them slowly.

        I guess vegan cat owners are doing their Job and eradicating meat eaters from the world. /s

        But for real, crazy that some did that to their pets.
