This is the follow-up to my video “Is owning pets vegan?” (https://youtu.be/QAHNs8iGTb8). While ownership itself is not a problem, what we feed them certainly is. As vegans, how can we possibly justify feeding sentient animals to our pets? We can’t, and as a result, many of us turn to a vegan diet. But can it be done? Can dogs and cats actually be healthy on a plant-based diet?
