What is a vegan dog food made from? It seems like it would be hard to make a nutritionally complete vegan dog food since they are meat eating animals.

My pooch is sensitive to anything with corn in it. It dries out his skin and makes his fur really dull and shed a lot, so I doubt that he could go vegan should I ever have that whim... That's highly unlikely though, I love my meat! Lol.

Ya making a cat vegan would kill them, they are strict meat eaters

My dogs eat a vegan dog food, however my cats do not. My vet says while dogs are fine on a vegan food, cats to unable to get the nutrition they need.

There is no way I would give my cats up though.

Just curious, (and figured this was the best place for random curiosities...) what do vegans feed their pets? Or are they opposed to owning pets on principle?

jungle:
What kind of proof do you have that this in fact doesn't happen? Are you really stating that this shit doesn't happen? Because this is basically what I'm getting when you tell me, "If you have proof of a U.S. company directly hiring a child in another country; I'd like to see that."

I admitted that it does. I've explained the cultural differences that make this seem so horrible to you but are allowing poor countries to maintain a better living. I asked for proof that Apple is paying children 20 cents an hr to assemble iphones. Which you've yet to produce. I posted the picture because that was the only internet info I could find that might corroborate your teacher's assertion about apple's using child labor to produce iPhones. So yes, it does have something to do with the issue at hand.

jungle:
Globalization has no intent on helping other countries out. Although it's not so common, it still takes jobs away from american's in order to pay out of country workers less than a dollar a day.

What about countries where people are getting paid more than a dollar a day? Is that better? I've laid out why this happens.. Americans will not pay three times more for a product assembled by Americans who demand a certain wage. You can't have it both ways. So, basically you are saying you would rather have the jobs and will pay more for the products?

Yes, you can use whatever terms you like.. but it's sensationalized, inaccurate and naive... but clearly you really just want to vent about capitalism rather than have a debate on the pros and cons of globalization.. so.. I'll stop responding.

My nostril is healing really well, even though I'm only on day 2. It's already self-stretched what looks to be about .5mm. Needless to say, I'm pretty stoked it's going well. There isn't much soreness, and no crusties so far, just venom style blood.

i just found some of the kitten's handy work in the bathroom. [ completely destroyed roll of toilet paper. XD ]

it's been so long since a kitten has torn any shit up in this apartment, so it brings me back. [ oh yeah, a kitten adopted us a few days ago, he has a collar but no tag so i put him on Craigslist Lost and Found. ] he's adorable tho!

I just went to visit my mom and I fell up the concrete steps to her house. My right knee is missing serious skin, but I didn't rip my jeans. How strange!

Oh man, I am in a good deal of pain. :/
