Vegan Couple Banned From Owning Pets After Feeding Them Rice And Chickpeas
ladbible.com

A vegan couple have been banned from owning pets after RSPCA inspectors who found their two puppies had been fed a vegan diet.

James McKenzie and Megan Price, from Queensland, Australia, were charged with two counts of failing to treat an animal and one of failing to comply with an animal welfare direction (AWD) after leaving their dogs in ill health.

Thank Hastur. I did not realize it was possible to ban people from owning pets. Good to know they won't be able to inflict their foolishness onto innocent creatures anymore.

This was in Australia. In 'Murica, they'd probably just get a slap on the wrist.

They don’t have animal cruelty laws where you’re from? Are you Cuban, by any chance? I know (via some deeply disturbing Internet drama) they didn’t have any animal welfare laws until alarmingly recently.

Also, IMHO, that vegan couple got off easy. I strongly believe that anyone dumb enough to raise a carnivorous animal as a vegetarian should have ended up like this (warning: really dark and gruesome humor ahead):

This is very loosely based on a true story. And when I say very loosely, I mean mostly that the dog bites were limited to it biting her legs in an attempt at waking her up. Not that Nick Lowe had much way of knowing about that, since he used Hollywood Babylon as a source before it became obvious that not only were most, if not all, of its claims false, but many of them were, I shit you not, allegedly gathered via seance. Also, her name was Marie Prevost, with an e.

Reminds me of the fucking idiots in Melbourne who put their kitten on a vegan diet.

The world is full of stupid fucking people.

One of them had to be euthanized.

The husband said in the article, ‘We love animals.’ If that were true, they’d have fed those dogs a proper fucking diet.

This is horroble. One of my dogs can't eat chicken meat becuase he has a allergic reaction to it that causes his skin to get dry and flaky so we feed him either pet rice (mostly), maccaroni, corn pie or bread (sometimes) mixed with things with allot of protien like fish or red/baked/lentil beans.
