This article in The Conversation summarised the environmental benefits, food energy savings (additional people who could be fed) and number of ‘food’ animals who would be spared from slaughter annually, if the world’s pet dogs and cats were transitioned on to nutritionally sound vegan diets. These are game-changingly large. E.g. transitioning only the dogs would spare 1.5 x the greenhouse gases produced by the entire UK each year. This was viewed 10,000+ times and reported in several other outlets, e.g. www.Earth.com.
