hypocritical also means applying opposite standards to oneself. She feels humans are natural herbivores, but theres no doubt that cats are primarily carnivores. Therefore, making a cat an herbivore is, by her own logic, unnatural.
I haven't seen anything saying cats are fed mainly rice. I see articles that mention cats feeding themselves in rice storehouses, but that likely means hunting vermin as cats have been used for for forever. And yes, dogs and cats are a bit omnivourous. generally dog food is 60 to 70 percent meat, and cat food 70 to 80 (i make my own pet food. No preservatives, and while its more work, time wise, its actually cheaper. ) On Mon, Sep 22, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Jed Rothwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > leaking pen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Since her main arguement for having gone vegetarian in the first place >> was a belief that humans are meant to be herbivourous, and that eating >> meat goes against nature. > > Ah.
