If all the world’s cats went vegan, it would save more emissions than those produced by New Zealand, land larger than Germany, freshwater exceeding all renewable freshwater in Jordan, and would feed about 70 million additional people

Any more details on the ‘feed about 70 million additional people’ claim? It seems oversimplified, as economic systems are complex and interconnected. It would be helpful to include supporting data.

Would it not be more effective just to eat them? And be done?

"If all the world’s cats went vegan, it would save more emissions than those produced by New Zealand"

Cats are obligate carnivores. So that's not going to happen without synthetic meat, and then the carbon emission debate is still there.

There shouldn't be a debate around what we feed pets until we've converted the industrial and logistical network that produces and supplies pet food to a sustainable one. You know, the human-made environmental impacts.
