wtf happened here? killing someone doesn't become moral just because it's not on a human's behalf. If it is possible to put rescued animals on a plant based diet without harming them then we are obligated to.

What ranks a dog's needs above a pig's? If I should stop the dog I care for from hunting the neighbourhood cats and local wildlife because it doesn't need to happen, amusing her in other ways. Surely I should also stop feeding her other animals if it does not need to happen.

Or are people against this in favour of letting her lose at night to kill for her own pleasure?
