This question is regarding vegetarians & vegans who choose these diets for ethical or environmental reasons (rather than just food preference).

Why would a person who chooses not to eat meat for these reasons also choose to support the pet food industry?

How is it possible for someone who holds such a position to justify owning a cat or dog (with the exception of people who need a dog for protection) rather than, say, a rabbit or guinea pig?
