Wolves (and all dogs) could be vegetarians as they aren't obligate omnivores - and in certain conditions where pray is sparse they do eat berries to surviven. Cats on the other hand are obligate carnivores and can't produce taurine amino acids, so they have to eat meat to survive.




We can chemically synthesize taurine just fine.

Are you a wolf (or a dog)?

I think the implications is that cats could eat veggies laced with synthetic taurine...?

I thought the implication is that people should feed themselves to cats?

Consent removes a bunch of ethical issues.
