He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himFormula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton said on his social media that his bulldog Roscoe is now 'completely vegan', just like him. The news, as always when we deal with this topic, has divided the fans in half.
Six-time world champion, activist, we have come to love Hamilton for his commitment to the environment and animals. Vegan since 2017, the pilot recently launched an appeal to close the schools of bullfighters and put an end to the bloody bullfight. Now on Instagram, she informs her fans that Roscoe, her bulldog who has a dedicated profile along with the recently deceased Coco, is being fed a vegan diet.

“Hey guys, so Roscoe is now fully vegan. Since he went vegan, his fur is much softer, his swollen paws have healed, he no longer limps from the pain of arthritis and he breathes better, ”writes Hamilton.
It speaks, therefore, of a dog that has various health problems and that has probably been directed to a vegan diet for this very reason. The question is: i can dogs be vegetarians and vegans?

We have talked about it many times. Dogs are carnivores (and recently someone defines them omnivores), therefore they need to consume proteins and fats of animal origin. Respecting them means giving them what they need, regardless of what our food choices are. So the dog doesn't have to become vegetarian or vegan, because we are. Having said this, we can say that there are nutrition veterinarians who, in the presence of some pathologies, can recommend a different type of diet that does not provide for the intake of animal proteins, in other cases all this is not possible because it would be subject to severe nutritional deficiencies.

Hamilton specified the reason why Roscoe was approached to a vegan diet, that is health reasons and we hope that the attention and sensitivity of the Mercedes champion has once again prevailed. Let us always remember, that respect for animals also passes through their specificity: humanizing them or wanting them to conform to us is not the right attitude, but we are sure that the champion made this choice thinking about what could make his best friend feel better. , with whom he says he lives in symbiosis.
