Should we feed our pets a vegan diet?

Thinking Out Loud: leading philosophers discuss topical global issues

Katrien Devolder and Josh Milburn discuss whether it's ethical - and possible - to feed our pets a vegan diet.
There are plenty of good reasons to avoid consuming meat from factory farms. However, WE may well do so, but what about our pets? Should we feed our cat or dog a vegan diet? In this interview with Dr Katrien Devolder (Oxford) for @Practical Ethics Channel​ , Dr Josh Milburn (Sheffield) explains what options there are for feeding our companion animals an ethically acceptable (or preferable) diet - from vegan food, to pet food made from invertebrates, and in vitro meat (and, yes, even in vitro human flesh!)
