Cats aren't vegan. Don't force your shit onto them. If you can't handle that, get a different pet

Cats can thrive on a vegan diet. The only thing that they can't get directly from plants is taurine, but synthetic taurine is extremely common and well studied (most non-vegan cat food is supplimented with synthetic taurine).
There are some scammy and not nutritionally complete vegan cat foods or there, so it's important to do a bit of extra research, but there are also some excellent offerings that have everything a cat needs to thrive.

This is absolute BULLSHIT. They cannot and will not “thrive” on a vegan diet.

Don’t believe the bullshit PETA is spreading. There is zero factual evidence to support their misinformation. It is a factually accepted fact that cats cannot survive healthy on a vegan diet. This advice is dangerous and should be removed.
I have seen how the mods delete/ban anyone for raising this awareness under the guise of “misinformation” but what is misinformation is suggesting that cats can live healthily on a vegan diet. SCIENCE disagrees with this. Not just me. It’s a fact.
Please! Do NOT feed your cat a vegan diet. You’re hurting it.

Edit: I am sorry, about my emotional decision i reinstated @Eevoltic and @naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com as mods After researching myself, many non scientific sites say its not healthy and some say its unethical, one (1) research paper says it is at least NOT unhealthy, but it has few points of data and i didnt found any other scientific paper about this..

Synthetic taurine is a thing and is widely used in formulated food. Cats are sometimes taken off meat based diets due to medical complications. The posts you removed were reasonable and explained why in good faith, the other poster made wild asertions not based on modern evidence and made anti-reality claims such as synthetic nutrients not being equivalent and 'meat' needs being scientific fact.
They violate the rules of this comm and you are overreaching by interfering.
All companion animals should recieve regular health checks by vets, and any major dietary changes should be done with medical oversight but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Obviously a wfpbd will kill a cat, as the poster you censored pointed out. Your closeness is affecting your judgement here, and you cannot 'own' a sentient being.

Banned for rules 5, 6, and 1. Please refrain from spreading carnist misinformation. Also the notion of "owning" another animal is speciesist.

Wow I’m not impressed with the removal of a moderator’s response.
