A New Book Called ‘Cat Wars’ Calls For Killing Free-Ranging Cats

[Doremus]

39. I can't speak for all vegans but I can tell you about myself and how I relate to cats

We're BFFs. I own 2, both rescues that were dumped by their former owners onto my corner lot, perhaps in the mistaken belief that leaving them to roam free is a kinder fate than taking them to a shelter. More likely though they were just uncaring assholes.

While I apply my compassionate beliefs about using animal products to everything I buy and use in my daily life, my cats do eat commercial cat food that contains meat of one form or another. Does that bother me? Yes, actually a lot. Am I going to kill my fur babies so they no longer have to consume it? It goes without saying, but no.

I'll have to content myself in the knowledge that as they're eating leftover slaughterhouse remnants, they're not torturing and killing creatures living in their rightful habitats.
