You’re getting a lot of comments along the lines of “aren’t you being inconsistent by letting your dog eat meat?” And I just want to add one point (not for you, OP, but for the group of replies). We don’t have to be perfectly consistent beings, and it’s often better that we are not. Being a vegan owner who has a carnivore dog is still better than being a carnivore owner with a carnivore dog. It’s better to be inconsistently ethical than it is to be consistently unethical. I think we can get into logic traps here on HN that ignore the realities (and benefits!) of the messiness of human behavior.
