Possibility of 2 weeks of no meat in stores?
« on: February 11, 2013, 12:37:28 AM »
Since some of you get your pets' food from the grocery, I thought I should make you aware of this.

If it happens, it will happen in March.

A lot of people will be discovering the Vegan life if they aren't prepared for it.

My main concern is will it affect the dairy industry too? I can live without meat for a while (freezer already full for dogs)--milk, yogurt and cheese, not so much.

America may soon have no meat for two long, horrific weeks:
