There are plenty of vegan friendly pets to choose from too. Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, pygmy goats ect. If they are willing to accept insectivorous animals that list gets longer.

Why choose a pet like a cat if their diet is a philosophical problem for them? Choose a different animal.

    A lot of vegans seem to view even owning a pet, of any kind, as evil.

    I'm aware of some vegans stances being against having pets, but if people are feeding their cats and dogs a vegan diet at least some portion of vegans aren't against it.

    For folks who want pets who are also vegan they should choose a species compatible with that instead of forcing it on an animal who's biology isn't going to thrive under those conditions.
