Food consumption by dogs and cats is responsible for releasing millions of tons of greenhouse gases. Fake meat could reduce that. Picture: BLOOMBERG— As pet owners from New York to London sit down to Christmas lunch this year, the family dog might be in for a surprise — a vegan meal.
But the jury is divided whether a vegan diet is the best option for cats and dogs, with many veterinarians and pet nutritionists warning against the practice. “Get yourself a rabbit or a guinea pig if you’re worried about that,” said British Veterinary Association president Daniella Santos, referring to climate change.
“She was uncomfortable with the UTIs for about five days, but she wasn’t in extreme pain or suffering a whole lot,” Withaar told the Thomson Reuters Foundation, adding that she had no plans to go back to a meaty diet for Zola. The UN has repeatedly urged people to reduce global meat consumption in order to lessen the burden on overused land and improve food security. A drop in reliance on livestock would free up several million square kilometres of land by 2050 and cut 0.7-8.0 gigatonnes a year of carbon dioxide equivalent produced by livestock, the UN estimated in August.
