Animal Welfare & Nutrition:
caring for your spirit guides
& totemic watchers

Most of us have spent our lives with the idea of domesticated animals & so called "pets" being subservient or dependent on us in many senses, or even being commodified
as mere objects & food or entertainment (the animal "agriculture" genocide, circuses, zoos, forced labor, laboratory torture, slavery & murder for processed products
we already know are toxic & don't even need, trophy or non-indigenous hunting, demeaning our "pets" for jokes, public attention or much more serious animal abuse because of our own lives' frustrations we take out on them, etc)

Once we actually stop to consider that those beings are actually meant to be guardians, guides for us in a very similar sense as totems on a spirit quest in indigenous wisdom, 
we can fundamentally change our relationship both with them & this reality as well,
& the largest part of this actually begins with nutrition, both for ourselves & for them, honoring & respecting Indigenous principles of interconnectedness,
and realizing that domestication, especially in the co-dependent & hierarchically dominant sense
that society has reinforced in relation to these sacred sentient beings has made us almost entirely unaware
on many levels of how much we have been complicit in their abuse & conscious/physical
& supernatural restrictions which were intrinsic to their wild & symbiotic spiritual nature
before these colonial realities of commodification, slavery & domestication for "pleasure & convenience".

Even the idea of calling them pets, walking them on leashes & punishing,
choking or restricting them when they don't follow our orders or directions,
choosing when they can go outside, piss & shit, what & when they eat
(which is practically always commercially toxic, GMO, animal agriculture genocide
by-products so rancid & disgusting none of us would want to actually eat them),
all of these realities right in front of our eyes about our "loving" relationships
with those totemic beings are directly equivalent to heavy BDSM slave relations
in a completely non-consentual way, when these beings technically have more of a right to freedom
& symbiosis with Nature than we do in a lot of cases as a species which in a first world sense
has been largely responsible for the mass destruction of this planet & its environment
since the advent of colonialism & the industrial age.

All of this may seem very bleak & angering to some people perhaps
who may still be in denial of this, saying, "but I Love my dog/cat/"pet"
and I know how much they love me too, they don't mind it at all, its not what you think"
& yet slave masters before the emancipation proclamation in the US
have said much the same about most of their "happy" house slaves who had the "privilege"
to eat table leftovers & be treated "better" than the field ones,
or Jewish cappos/informants during WWII in Nazi concentration camps, etc.

The Good news is, we can change this very easily
through proper nutrition & a basic shift of perspective
in our relation with those ancient keepers of Nature & mythological watchers
& it can be as simple as cooking them sustainable plant-based food recipes
(dogs in particular are actually far healthier on holistic vegan diets,
& the guinness world record of longevity is held by a vegan dog
who lived almost 3 times the average life span of so-called healthy regular dogs (27 years). 

Cats have also long been considered to be obligate carnivores in terms of their ancestry,
traditional nutrition, dentition, saliva &  gastro-intestinal tract's acidity,
& yet with the advent of epigenetics, orthomolecular nutrition
& quantum science's advancements in a syncretic sense, we now know that
they can actually healthily adapt to an ital vegan diet
much more easily than was previously thought,
& can also greatly benefit in terms of health,
vitality & longevity, particularly when compared to a so-called optimal commercial cat food diet
which all-too-often contains the same rancid & low-quality animal genocide
& laboratory/shelter euthanasia by-products of tortured & enslaved, sick animals
who live a fraction of the actual age of these beings we somehow believe we should nurture as such
at the expense of mere babies & children
whose lives of torture, repeated rape & sentient suffering
is beyond description & quite readily acknowledged as well
(this is also widely  & openly documented, please visit the Animal Agriculture section for more information on this & be sure to watch documentaries like Dominion, Cowspiracy & live footage of slaughterhouses & farms on youtube such as the one below).
