Isn't that the point of being a vegetarian or vegan outside of certain health benefits?

I scrolled through & thought they were advocating organic meat for dogs.

Personally, I think the name of the site, the logo, & the image of a hunk of meat will put most people off like it did me. But maybe I'm wrong.

I saw it on LinkedIn on a Dutch vegan site and thought for a second they were exposing a dog meat company. Then I read further into it and realized they were doing exactly what I had thought about. You know how people see pigs cooped up in the back of a semi? I thought I'd be cool to get a bunch of fake dogs put them in the back and see how people react to that.

But for some, all is a big joke. I had thought better of you, JanMichael
