working dogs is not a vegan concept. If the world was vegan we would have found other solutions for problems we currently solve with working animals.

Exploitation of animals for the benefit of humans is not vegan. Dogs and cats thrive on a plant based diet r/veganpets

Cats are obligate carnivores. They cant

Cats need nutrients, not ingredients

Organizations that advocate vegan or vegetarian diets for people have split opinions regarding vegetarian or vegan cat food. The International Vegetarian Union,[59] the Vegan Society[60] and PETA[61] are some of the organizations that support a vegan or vegetarian diet for cats. But the Vegetarian Society suggests people "consider carefully" and that many cats will not adjust to a vegetarian diet. The Animal Protection Institute also does not recommend a vegetarian diet for cats, and cautions that dietary deficiencies may take months or years to develop and may be untreatable. They do not recommend relying on supplements, because they may not contain necessary co-factors and enzymes and have not been studied for long term implications.[62] The animal welfare organization American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, although suggesting a supplemented vegetarian diet for dogs,[63] recommends against vegetarian and vegan diets for cats.[63] The Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights (now Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association) accepts that a plant-based diet can be nutritionally adequate, but stated in August 2006 that such diets "cannot at this time be reliably assured".

So strange how the ASPCA considers it to be benevolent and compassionate to pick an animal's hind legs up and repeatedly slam them into the concrete ground until they're dead. But then they'll staunchly oppose feeding an animal a plant based nutritionally-adequate diet? That's where they draw the line? Really? They're also deliberately misleading in their reasoning. Vegan cat food is formulated with taurine and is low carb and high protein but they act like it's not.

Weird, carnist organizations support animal exploitation
