This is one of the most fiercely debated arguments among vegans. Should we be feeding our companions meat when we are so passionately opposed to eating it, and therefore supporting the industry, ourselves?
The reason that vegans, and nonvegans, argue their point of view so stubbornly is because of love. We all love our companions and want to do the best by them. The thought that we are harming them in any way with what we are feeding them is upsetting and it is natural, therefore, that we feel the need to defend our decisions.
