sherri u call dogs omnivores and that makes me laugh. they are not just because people put human food into the bowl of there dog and they eat it fdoenst make them omnivores cows were being fed other cows does thatm ake them carnivores. dogs dont eat plants in the wild tell me fif a pack of wolves ever hunted down a stalk of corn? the onyl time they naturaly ingest plants is if there stomachj is giving them probles so they cna vomit.

here is an interesting link for you robbie that discusses both dog and human diet:

edit:
as a follow-up to what I was saying to sheri above:

I remember when I worked at the zoo every now and again somebody would complain that rabbits (not live - previously frozen) were fed to the tigers claiming it was cruel to the rabbits.

People have been too sanitized to how animals eat.

Hyper as you know I'm not versed on the animal scene unless its feedlot lol, as you and I have discussed abit..lol why were people upset??the peter rabbit images????

[hyperactive]

pretty much.  People like rabbits so they don't think other animals should be eating them.  Seriously (i say that because of how stupid what I am about to type sounds), one person asked me why we couldn't just feed the tigers lettuce and broccoli.

What did you say???

LOL!  be very afraid of the fierce broccoli-eating tiger!!!!      But really, people can be so silly!  As much as I dislike the fact that they are eating bunnies, they have to eat meat!  Let's just hope the bunnies had a good life, while it lasted, and that they met their maker without too much distress involved.

If the bunny wasn't fed to your dog, it be eaten by someone else's dog anyway.
