>What I really deplore is the fact that animals in general born to be >carnivores are put on a vegetarian diet by the owner's imposition. I have a lovely customer who is 72 and has been a vegetarian for over 40 years. She wears leather shoes out of necessity but will not buy ANY animal based product. She is a member of PETA and a vociferous one at that. She has a cat. Cats are carnivores. She feeds the cat (whom she loves dearly) a meat based diet. SHE chose to be a vegan NOT her cat. Soap box mode disabled Tom I may be a bastard, But I'm not a f****** bastard. [Moderator's note: Please let's not stray into animal rights territory. That's off-topic for the FML unless it's very specific to ferrets. BIG] [Posted in FML issue 1739]
