- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.

Was curious so I looked it up.
Couldn't find anything backing up your claim that meat without synthetic taurine makes cats sick (which sounds like BS) and actually find some info that said that long-term affects of synthetic taurine is unknown in cats, and may not be as bioavailable for them as animal-based taurine.
"Looked it up"
Not seeing the word "synthetic" there chief. Wanna try again?
Also from your article: "Cat foods that contain high-quality animal-based protein will supply adequate levels of taurine for a normal, healthy cat.
Supplemental taurine may be added to certain cat foods, especially diets that are formulated for specific needs such as heart disease or growth and development"
There is literally no difference in chemical structure between synthetic and natural taurine.
🤔
You're arguing with a person who thinks the abstract google throws at you when looking for some information is to be trusted...
And even then the blurb didn't contradict what I said at all. They're clearly just desperate for a "gotcha".
No internet vegan is looking for a gotcha we're all just masochistic
Bro so are you just assuming every first result on google is wrong regardless of what it is?
Yes. I don't trust these things because they are often wrong and almost always leave out relevant information. Just click on the link and read the context. It's not that hard.
But why would you assume it's wrong rather than following your own advice and reading the context to see if it's right.
Okay class
So this is taurine
It literally dont matter how you get it it the same shit
QED
Heres an article https://www.news-medical.net/health/Taurine-Synthesis-and-Production.aspx
See my above comment.
Also all of that is irrelevant to the (false) claim that "cats get sick from eating meat without synthetic taurine".
No but if you're a vegan you can't have the stuff out of animals; you have to make your own.
