My dogs eat vegan dog food. They don't have collars made from animals. But they also haven't made a moral choice to not use animals. To say they are vegans is odd to me, though I have done that as the distinction is lost on most people and for the sake of a swift message it does the job.

People have a relationship, whether or not they are aware, to the term "animal rights." But I don't want to talk about PeTA.
