Vegan dog food?!?!?!?!

my beagle will eat most fruits and vegetables sans peas, broccoli and green beans (see a theme there) but he will turn his nose up at any of them if there is the option for a hot dog, sausage, hamburger, steak, etc.

Wait and see if you give him a raw diet.
Whenever I am grilling steaks or making burgers, that dog is patiently waiting for his raw patty to be served.
80/20, 90/10, filet, sirloin, he just plain doesn't care.

I've even read of people feeding their cats whole prey animals; fur, feathers and all.

My cats find there own prey lol... they actually eat a lot of mice and moles. It's the worst when i find a half eaten mouse in the house. Well worse, is when I dont find the half eaten mouse until I can smell it

I guess we all agree that the very thought of vegan dog food is insane to the max.

Wait until one of them walks up to you with a beheaded rat in its mouth, and drops it at your feet.

I agree, though. Dogs and cats are carnivores, NOT vegetarians. Humans, though, are omnivores.

My lab would eat anything. He'd even pick his own berries when we went berry picking, once I showed him how to do it. Before that, he'd just wait and beg.
If he dragged dinner home, it wasn't normally a basket of apples, it was a rib cage or a nice hind quarter.
That's probably a pretty good argument to preference, too.
