What are your thoughts on people who enforce their vegan diets on their pets?

Should it or would it be considered a form of animal abuse? Can a carnivorous animal like a dog or a cat really live a long and healthy life while living on nothing but rabbit food? Wouldn't these animals be dangerously underweight or weak and listless on such a diet? I don't know much about the effects of a vegan diet on animals but that shit just don't sound right...

I didn't know people did that to their pets.

@quitwhendone Oh yeah, it's a thing. That is not to say that all vegans enforce a vegan diet on their pets... but some do. There is even a Facebook group of people who claim to be raising vegan cats. It's got over 8,000 members. So yeah, some people are doing that.

@deadmoon I think cats and dogs naturally like meat.
