RE: The Grand Debate- Should You Feed Your Pets Vegan Diets?
Awesome perspective... I never had carnivore pets in my life so I can't relate to the emotional troubles...
I think that stray cats and dogs are valuable parts of city ecosystems because they manage rodent population better than we could ever do with poisons. Just letting your pets go sound like a good idea to me, double ethical plus (no killing of cattle, no poisoning of rodents)!
I'm going to write a more detailed post about stray pets soon with study links, see you on Discord!
I just got back.. will chat more to you on discord.. I never kill rodents. I want a pet rat actually...
I'm gonna go to sleep now, gotta turn the biological clock to daytime again haha!
I didn't think you did. I had mice as pets before... A friend from highschool had 2 rats always with her on class peaking from her cleavage every few minutes... HHahaha!
Around here rodents are a big problem in some cities, they're the size of small cats and not scared of people that much. The prob is, they transmit a long list of diseases so the whole city is sprayed with rat poison annualy. :( Maybe, just maybe, we could solve the problem with natural predators such as birds of prey... That's why I said that about stray pets, in some studies they have shown effective aswell. The cats aren't really picky about killing tho', they would decimate wild bird populations...

I'm off to bed too man. I don't believe rodents will be around areas that are clean. I don't think clean evirons, homes or cities can habour rodents so for me the solution is to keep the place clean and not have so much garbage and filth around. But humans call animals that play in the filth we create filthy.
That's some permacultural thinking right there! The problem is the solution! :)
Bravo to you sir :)
your kind words are most kind
