I legitimately do not understand why a vegan who’s dedicated to pursuing a 100% vegan lifestyle, to the point where they want their pets on a vegan diet as well, do not. just. keep. naturally vegan pets.

Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, tortoises, iguanas, a fucking horse, for fucks sake!

Like. My god, you have so many options for pets that literally CAN’T eat meat! Why would you insist on keeping a predator, if you can’t stomach the idea that they’re goddamn predators??

Do you have any idea how goddamn loving a hamster can be? Would you like to know what it feels like when a bunny asks you for cuddles?

Vegan pets are a thing. Animals that literally only eat plant matter are a thing.

You don’t have to torture dogs and cats to live a purely vegan lifestyle. Go buy a fucking guinea pig.

I support what this post is saying, and I’ve reblogged it before, but y’know what? I changed my mind; if you’re willing to abuse your pets to fit your lifestyle like denying them a healthy and medically necessary diet, just don’t have pets. You’ve proven you can’t handle the responsibility and honestly, that you don’t deserve them, because you’re willing to put your own lifestyle choices ahead of the needs of a poor creature who literally depends on you for everything.

So don’t go buy a fucking guinea pig, sit down and rethink your life choices and when you’re ready to do what needs to be done for your pet first no matter what your feelings on the matter are, then and ONLY THEN go get a fucking guinea pig.
