    Is using an animal that has to eat basically nonstop to support its body really the best way to make this point?

    I’d also point out that many horse feeds contain animal products to supplement protein

      A horse will absolutely nom down a passing rat or bird given the chance.

          Good shout. Horses can’t vomit either so. Double the reason they can’t do meat regularly.

      Alright, but how do cows make protein, you’re telling me grass can be turned into steak? People actually believe this stuff??

      Yeah I was gonna say, they aren’t just outside eating the grass off someone’s lawn once in a while. They are endlessly devouring specially made feeds

        No, just no. Most horses are not fed grains of any type. They eat grass and hay. Grains aren’t really great for them anyways. Performance horses and elderly horses will get supplemental style grains, but a horse needs to basically eat 24/7 to keep their guts properly working.

    Horses happily eat meat when given the opportunity. Young chickens have found this out the hard way.

      I’m pro vegan but this seems to make sense to me.

        Veganism is a luxury afforded to us who have access to vast amounts of fresh produce all year.

        Even 100 years ago I don’t think being vegan would have been possible year round, as it would be nearly impossible to get the variety of produce needed to sustain a person in the winter months.

    Oh yes, i know a lot of these people. “I need to eat meat for my protein intake.”

    You’re overweight and work in an office, you really need these protes brother.

    Look guys, not looking for a fight here, but maybe just don’t tell the people who are already in somewhat of a war with vegans to go and eat literal grass 😅
