In the current state of affairs in our society there is ever increasing trend to blatantly ignore basic facts of nature in order to fit different forms of misguided agendas. This trend is often justified by so called scientific research. However a deeper look into scientific methods employed to justify these agendas inevitably reveals some fundamental flaws.
Basic Facts
Dr. Connor Brady succinctly puts it:
Most canine nutritionists agree the dog is, to a very large extent, a meat, organ and bone eater. An adaptabe, opportunistic, scavenging predator. A whole-animal eater. A carcass-finding machine. A long-distance-hunting machine. Our article on why dogs need meat goes through all the evidence that supports this stance:
From tooth to tail, the dog has the anatomy of a meat eater, with jagged teeth, short, fast, acidic guts, bacterial flora ill-equipped to break down plant fibre breakdown
Studies of their closest relatives (Dingo's, which were domestic dogs only 3,000 years ago) reveals a diet comprising of 97% animal matter
Stuides show dogs will eat literally anything with a face, from small mammals to birds to frogs to insects to carcass and faeces, though they are no longer able to bring down large quarry
There is confusion in the diet studies as village dogs are fed plant material as pups and these dogs will go on to select plant material when older, however feral dogs do not. We have know for years that dogs can be targetted on to various proteins from a young age, it says nothing of it's suitabilty to long term health.
