The horrific case at a North Melbourne animal hospital has prompted a warning about the dangers of people "forcing ideologies" on their pets.
这起可怕的事件发生在墨尔本北部的一家动物医院中，使得医生对那些将自己的习惯强加于宠物身上的行为所带来的危险提出了警告.
  
Lort Smith Animal Hospital veterinarian Leanne Pinfold said the kitten was brought in this month by its owners, who were believed to be vegan.
洛特史密斯动物医院的Pinfold兽医称这只猫是在这个月由它的饲主们送来治疗的，这些饲主据信是纯素食主义者.
  
She said the kitten's diet of potatoes, rice milk and pasta had caused it to become critically ill."It was extremely weak and collapsed when it came in. It was almost non-responsive," Dr Pinfold said.
这只小猫的饮食，包括土豆、米浆和意大利面，使它的身体状况十分糟糕。“它被送来的时候身体十分虚弱并且陷入了昏迷状态，它对外界的刺激几乎毫无反应”。Pinfold医生说道。
  
The kitten was given fluids via a drip, placed on a heat pad and fed meat.
医生将这只猫放在电热毯上进行输液并喂它吃了给它喂了猫食。
  
It remained in hospital for three days after which the kitten's owners were given meat to feed their pet at home, she said.
院方在给予饲主一些猫食后对这只小猫进行了三天的治疗.
  
Dr Pinfold said as obligate or true carnivores, cats needed meat to survive.She said people who wanted a pet that did not eat meat should consider other animals, such as rabbits.
Pinfold医生说猫作为一种专性（也称真性）食肉动物必须吃肉。她说那些不想饲养肉食宠物的人应该考虑饲养其他的宠物，例如兔子。
  
"Concern for animal welfare has to include a biologically-appropriate diet," she said. "You can't force your ideology on the cat.
“对于动物权益的关注必须包括为它们提供符合其习性的饮食，你不能将自己的习惯强加于猫身上”。
  
"Carnivores will seek out meat and your cat is possibly more likely to go hunting and kill local native fauna if you deprive it of meat.''
“食肉动物就是食肉动物，如果你不给你的猫提供肉食的话，那么它就更可能捕杀本地的野生动物“”。
  
Dr Pinfold said she had not come across a similar case in her 11 years as a veterinarian.
Pinfold医生称在她１１年的职业生涯中还是第一次遇上这样的事情。
