"If all the world’s cats went vegan, it would save more emissions than those produced by New Zealand"

Cats are obligate carnivores. So that's not going to happen without synthetic meat, and then the carbon emission debate is still there.

There shouldn't be a debate around what we feed pets until we've converted the industrial and logistical network that produces and supplies pet food to a sustainable one. You know, the human-made environmental impacts.

You're correct. There's nothing special about taurine delivery, which is the obligate nutrient for obligate carnivores like cats.
