I wonder what percentage of factory farmed meat is devoted to the pet food industry. I love dogs and cats dearly, but I really hate what's happening to animals in factory farms. Unfortunately cats and dogs can't be vegetarian as far as I know. I also suspect that pet owners rationalize daily meat eating for themselves since their pets have to have it.

Now, it doesn’t have to be 100% protein. If they were eating mice and birds in the wild, then the bodies of those prey animals would not be composed of 100% protein. But they would be primarily protein. So, when we feed our animals, we need to make sure that we keep their natural dietary requirements in mind.
