What happened in the vegan community?

I hadn't heard about any of this until seeing that ToS post.

If only this was readily researchable....

But yeah, animal cruelty gets people het up. This is the internet, don't fuck with cats

What should stop a company from supplementing the right amount of all the nutrients listed? The article simply claims it's not nutritionally complete, but that would only be an argument against the brands currently available and tested, not against the idea in principle.

Studies have shown that cats do not absorb adequate amounts of these nutrients from synthetic supplemented versions, it's why vegan pet food that is technically nutritionally complete in the bag isn't when it's in the cat.

Vegans should instead opt for a non-carnivorous pet

That's bullshit and you know it, otherwise you would have at least attempted to back up that claim.

A very short internet research attempt shows: Synthetic taurine is considered efficacious for use in cat, dog and carnivorous fish.
