No fish for kitteh!

This article is a little strange.

The author is talking about the use of "foraged fish" in the animal feed industry--they're fed to farmed salmon, pigs, chickens, and pets. Pet food constitutes 10% of the industry. So he concludes people should hesitate before taking in a dog or cat--we should instead have vegetarian pets, like hamsters.

Or, he suggests, feed your cat a vegan diet, with supplements. Meanwhile, he suggests it's still ok to feed fish to salmon, because that's what they naturally eat anyway.

Like... cats don't eat fish naturally? In a household with humans, dogs and cats--the cats are the only ones who are true carnivores. Wild cats do not eat carrots. It's my understanding that the switch to dry kibble, which is mostly made of grain and carbohydrates, is the cause of most kitty health problems.

What I don't get is why the dude would recommend making Fluffy a vegan, but not recommend humans become vegetarians (or eat less meat, or eat animals raised on proper feed) --since feeding fish to cattle constitutes a bigger part of the industry than pet food.

I can think of other moral arguments for not owning pets... and I care about the fishies (and those who depend on them to live) but... this article was just weird.
