I am mom to a 17-year-old cat!. I adopted her/she adopted me years before I went veg!. I can do quite well without meat, but she cannot!. I think vegans are more tuned into this; we know that some animals must have meat to survive, while others do not!.

And for those who talk of our "pointy" canines, do you really think any human can run after a gazelle or a cow or other animal, leap on his back, tear out the neck and eat his flesh!? And humans' digestive systems are far closer to those of herbivores than of carnivores!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
