It's not abuse to feed an animal a nutritionally complete diet. There is no magical nutrient that exists in animals that cannot be artificially synthesized. Just because you don't care about animal suffering doesn't make it necessary or justified.

Even if that was true, you're still killing other animals which is obviously more harmful/abusive to them than not giving them their favorite food instead of the same nutrients in a different package.

Ah yes, its the people that are against harming animals that are the real animal abusers.

Feeding an animal a nutrionally complete diet: abuse

killing animals: not abuse

Very cool that every institution will continue to act as if SSNs are private information and you can't get a new number issued until after someone uses it to steal your identity.

Not every community wants to be a debate club.

Or you could, maybe, care about whats true instead of what's convenient the same way the right does.
