Veganism

Wikipedia - Veganism (also known as strict vegetarianism or pure vegetarianism), as defined by the Vegan Society, is "a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practical—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose. "A vegan (one who practices veganism) does not consume or use animal products, notably meat, fish, poultry, eggs and dairy products. People become vegans for a variety of reasons, including ethical concerns for animal rights or the environment, as well as perceived health benefits and spiritual or religious concerns.

Vegan Pet Food - For some people, their compassion for all animals is expressed by living a vegan or vegetarian lifestyle, which results in calling no animals food.

After all, animal companions are like children in that they are completely dependent on us for their every need, and perhaps we shouldn't impose our ethics on them. This concern comes from an implicit understanding that veganism and vegetarianism are ethical decisions, okay for consenting adult humans, but not okay for non-consenting animals who wouldn't choose those diets in a "natural" scenario.
