Ich lese da vage und teilweise widersprüchliche Erziehungstipps, wie man sie in jedem Klatsch-Blatt findet. Was bestimmt stimmt: Eltern wollen alles richtig machen und lesen deshalb alles mögliche. Diesen Artikel zum Beispiel.

It's even worse for Germany - cornflowers are used as Nazi symbolism.

Interessant dass es bei HSV-2 mehr als 10% sind. Das würde ja bedeuten ein großer Anteil der Bevölkerung hat sogar beide Infektionen.

In Deutschland haben 90% den Virus. Höchstwahrscheinlich hat er den Virus schon längst (ganz unabhängig von der Ex-Freundin), aber halt asymptomatisch.

Swiss that hasn’t aged

But "Swiss cheese" isn't a thing in itself either. The term is used solely in the US.

Switzerland has all kinds of very different kinds of cheese. Aged and young ones.

The difference is that you as the owner are in that case not actively financing an industry that's slaughtering other animals in order to feed your pet.

That a cat while roaming outside will inevitably kill other animals is not unethical on the cats part. It's debatable if it's unethical on the owners part, which is why many people nowadays discuss only keeping cats as indoor pets anyway. It is however a completely separate issue to vegan cat food.

Maybe you think vegans ask for vegan pet food because they want their cat to "be vegan"? Because if so, that's a misunderstanding. Vegan ethics are always about our own consumption decisions and behavior. Never about those of animals. (Which is why "dO yOu JuDgE LiOnS fOr KiLliNg ZeBrAs As WeLl?" is never a good argument. We don't.) As caretakers for our pets some of their decisions naturally fall to us. You're always deciding for them which brand of pet food your cat will get. For example I avoid nestle owned brands, wether my cat supports that decision or not. If he was an outside pet I'm sure he would at least try to murder something occasionally. That has nothing to do with my responsibility to honor the ramifications of my own ethical considerations though. My cat is too dumb for that - literally. It doesn't release me from the responsibility.

(He gets meat btw, he has chronic digestive problems and needs special food anyway - before anyone here accuses me of murder and torture or something.)

Ich hab noch nie eine labbrige Gewürzgurke gegessen. Aber da hatte ich vielleicht bisher ein glückliches Händchen.

Was ist denn das besondere an denen aus dem Spreewald? Ich hab da noch nie einen Unterschied feststellen können zu ganz normalen Essiggurken.

That's bullshit and you know it, otherwise you would have at least attempted to back up that claim.

A very short internet research attempt shows: Synthetic taurine is considered efficacious for use in cat, dog and carnivorous fish.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I agree, but originally the question was about cheese and eggs. The honey argument came a bit out of nowhere tbh.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

we’re already doing that, and it doesn’t work.

We absolutely do, taurine is in basically every commercially available cat food out there. Chances are you are already feeding your cat synthetic taurine.

I feed my cats the food they need to survive, fortunately.

So do I, I'm just really annoyed at the intellectually dishonesty at play here. The position you're arguing in favor of is almost impossible to verify. Can you prove that is is impossible to create a nutritionally complete vegan cat food? No, obviously you can't. Even if every single brand currently available would be proven to be insufficient (which I seriously doubt) it'd still be a wild claim that it couldn't be done. Does that stop you from harshly judging everyone with a different opinion? For some reason, no.

Feel free to correct me if you do have a reliable source that explains why it's impossible to supplement vegan cat food while being perfectly fine for conventional ones.

Then look for a recent study yourself. I certainly won't waste my time, since I hardly believe you would chance your mind even with the most robust data available. You've made up your mind.

There's no reason why supplementation shouldn't be possible. After all we're already doing that. Obviously we can test for it (since so many people in this comment claimed that vegan brands were tested and found to be insufficient), so nothing stops us from putting taurine into the cat food to the point where it reaches the required amounts. It's that simple. If you need to stay offended than for all means keep going. Just know that you behave just like the vegans you're so annoyed about, and it's showing.
