Hi,
I've been a devout vegan now for about a year or something and i was
wondering what you guys think of keeping pets? I'm thinking about getting a
pet snake but wasn't really sure if it's ok as a strict vegan. I figured i'd
just feed it tofu or something like that.

The snake will die. They are carnivorous and should NOT be fed vegan.
Same with cats and dogs.

If you want a vegan pet, try a budgie or a hamster.

Yeah. Feed it tofu and let us know how long it survives. Idiot.

Why would it die? Tofu is better for you than meat while providing the
essential protein contained in meat. It tastes better too.

For us humans, I would agree with the above (although most people
believe humans should be omnivores). But a snake is a complete and
total carnivore. To force it to eat otherwise (which might be
difficult in itself) is an example of animal cruelty.

If you want a vegan home, consider a budgie or hamster. I'm serious.
You'll only cause suffering and probably death to a snake/cat/dog if
you withhold meat.

And read, read, read. Know everything you can to make your pet a happy
one.

You're not really a vegan, fool...
