And when some people start using the word “sustainability” as a Newspeak term that really means “putting cheap, crappy ingredients in pet food,” that just makes me mad.
The article is bringing up the craziness of a recent ScienceDaily article which states:
According to a recent article in Science Daily, University of Iowa animal sciences researcher Kelly Swanson, in cooperation with scientists at The Nutro Co., are “raising a number of important questions on the sustainability of pet ownership.”
What does that mean, “the sustainability of pet ownership?” Apparently, it means “applying the ethics of living as a human omnivore to animal carnivores.”
