I am going to make a post that will cause some controversy. Nature is what Nature is. There are omnivores, herbivores and carnivores. A person can agree with that, or not. Just because a human may not eat other animals, a dog eats meat. To much of the world, and to the dog, it comes in a can. He does not know it may have been one of his friends.When does reality step in? Some think bugs should not be killed because they may be a dead relative.
You are entitled to your opinion.
If you are looking for vegans and vegetarians to agree with you, some might; you are in the wrong
group. This is not a debate group. Is your purpose to attack or to learn from others here?
When does reality set in? When does cruelty set it? Innocent animals donβt get a choice, this is my own personal view. Everyone is free to put what ever they choose in their own mouth. Your diet choices are your own.
What are you looking to gain with this Controversial post exactly?
The subject of my missive should have been mentioned at the start, not second sentence from the bottom. It is still "reality" in all its forms. Some times the cure is worse than the original problem. #1, the Hoover Dam was built for Hydro electric, and water usage, now there are problems with lack of water in other areas. #2 Dump has said, lock downs are worse than the virus, which of course is a lie. Dead business people don't do business, and dead customers don't buy goods or services---- EVER! Not even Dump, could have changed that reality. He did get his shots--- in secret, of course.
Now back to what dogs eat. #3. Yes, some animals are very big and strong- and are herbivores. That is fantastic. To some, it is a problem that dogs eat other animals. So when feeding them something that Nature never intended, they may die at an early death. There,clearly, is the problem!
keeping dogs is arguably 'unnatural' . certainly they have been bred to be unnatural in their form and their psyche are you allowing for that in your question?
Interesting to me, domestic dogs can tolerate vegetable diets better than their ancestors.[livescience.com]
Life should not be about how much any person or animal, "can tolerate".
Thatβs interesting, I suppose they are more used to left overs.
@girlwithsmiles Evolution observed, early agricultural humans were also adapting to more starchy diets. They'd probably do better on a fad paleo diet though.
@Buttercup my stomach and intestines seem to prefer a fruit veg and nut/ seed diet.
My dogs and I are vegans.
@Wildgreens The dogs look happy- and healthy!
The question, βwhere does reality step inβ, seems to be out of context in amongst all those statements.
Would you like to rephrase the question. None of the text seems to relate to fantasy.
Dogs certainly donβt get much choice in what they eat, especially domesticated ones.
Humans have a bit more capacity to examine options and make educated choices.
What is it with this idiocy that implies that everything that can be observed in nature is ok for humans, isnβt the whole point to improve? Iβm certainly glad not to have the lot of many other mammals on this planet!
As for other peopleβs views on eating insects; they are just that...donβt overthink it
I said nothing about "eating bugs". What I said "Some people do not kill bugs because they may be a reincarnated relative"- or a dead relative. But alo the reality: bugs have the capacity to kill humans.It was fleas during the Black Plaque.
@Diogenes yes, some Buddhists do think like that. Due to the fact that the rest of your post was about eating, it seemed logical that the death of the insects related to the same subject, apologies.
Even if the plague was caused by fleas, (unproven), you would have been hard pressed to kill them, especially in those days.

Posted by BDairWhy was there never a word about healthy diets and essential vitamins and nutrients? Liquor stores and 'big box' stores never closed. This was never about public health.
