Ho, shoulda known I would put my foot in it. I meant the people in
Kenya. Masai? Isn't that what they're called?
I guess dogs are omnivores. Means you can feed them "veggie bites." Even
vegetarians though, say don't try it with a cat. Better cow meat than
wildlife (if they're starved for meat they'll hunt birds.) If everyone in
the world went vegan, we'd probably have to give up having pet cats. I
suppose ther would be feral cats living on rodents though.
