This is why the hammer got lowered on the community. It isn't up to anyone to prove that vegan cat food is acceptable. Provide peer reviewed scientific studies published in reputable journals to demonstrate that it is.
Why is the default that it isn't? I'm saying we shouldn't have an admin enforced default not force one or the other People give terrible advice regarding pet care, child rearing and everything else. Why is this any different? Should we ban all content with exotic pets like parrots or sugar gliders because they overwhelmingly do poorly in captivity?
Because that's how science works? Cats are obligate carnivores. They require a diet of meat. If you are insisting that a diet without meat can satisfy the needs of an obligate carnivores then it is up to you to prove that it is with a large, well designed study that is published, peer reviewed, and repeatable.
That is what the admin was saying. You can't use the claims in a book written by a vegan activist who was confirming his own bias at proof. That isn't proof. It isn't up to science to prove you wrong. Itis up to you to prove you right.
