We are a far bigger problem on this planet than the (over)population of feral cats, elephants, Canada geese, or any other creature we "manage" or want to manage, "humanely" or otherwise. In my experience there are at least a handful of issues that involve compromise when the idea of veganism collides with real life.

First let me say that there is no recall of Vetsulin (often used to manage the diabetes of dogs and cats) as of today. That if you have a diabetic dog or cat and you use Vetsulin, you have to be diligent. It was also great for most cats. Some cat owners went to Vetsulin. Tags: Current Affairs Greyhound Matters.

So here I am, on the third anniversary of Animal Person, asking for advice that has nothing to do with veganism or animal rights (and I've tweeted about this so some of you already know what's coming). The good news is that, including the kittens' mom, there are only four cats remaining at the site who need to be sterilized!

There are now about 10 cats who are unsterilized, and next week the women at the site, with a little help from their friends, will start trapping again. It'll be my area's first group dedicated to reducing the feral cat population! And of course, I will use the meetings as an opportunity for vegan outreach.

From the feral cats of Project Treadstone to Charles' back surgery to problems with Violet's Vetsulin (insulin for dogs), we had more than our share of issues. So he is being re-veganized (Violet's already vegan), as long as his back and leg aren't adversely affected. Tags: Current Affairs Greyhound Matters.

This includes horses, cats and cows. However, I have to disagree with page 78's: "Will a cat comfort you when you are sad? My experience says otherwise (particularly with my childhood kitty, Brady), but generally speaking Masson's depiction of cats is accurate. Yes, there's a vegan message. And he details why.

When referring to cats, dogs and horses of unknown sex, the children would randomly assign sex, with the conventionally "prettier" animals being called "she." I remember that as a child I called all cats "she" and dogs "he" in the absence of a name. We do that with cats and dogs already, right? That makes sense to me.
