pls don't force the animals in your care into a diet that is wholly unnatural for them. if it's stressing you out to have to buy meat for them then surrendering them to a shelter might be the best option; it's contradictory to vegan principles to try and force an animal into a diet based on human ethical standards. certain animals are gonna eat meat, that's just how it goes in nature, if you're not comfortable caring for an animal that needs to eat meat then you should give it over to the care of someone who is, but it's cruel to make that carnivore conform to a diet that it would never have in the wild
of course i wouldn't suggest giving them to a shelter that euthanises, i'd never suggest such a thing.
my point was that eating meat near-exclusively is how those animals have evolved and what they'd do in a natural environment, and yeah if they had an opportunity to eat beef in the wild they'd go for it. i fundamentally disagree that keeping them as pets is contradictory to animal rights, considering the process of domestication for these animals started with them initiating regular contact with humans and not the other way around.
