Pet owners who risk their cats' health by forcing them to go vegan could face prison

If cats are found malnourished, owners could even face a strapping fine, or worse could end up in jail if they are convicted under the Animal Welfare Act.
UPDATED NOV 25, 2018

You might want to think twice before trying to get your cat into vegan habits, as RSPCA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) has claimed that cats could become seriously ill on a vegan diet, and that might lead the owner to be found guilty of animal cruelty. 

Cat owners have been advised that they could risk breaking the law when they force their pets to turn into vegans, an unnaturally habit for them as cats are strictly considered to be carnivores.

Owners have been embracing the new trend of converting their pets into vegans due to overconcern with meal diets, which has led one in six pet food suppliers branch out into supplying vegan or vegetarian food for pets. However, on their website, RSPCA has specifically mentioned that cats are chiefly meat eaters. "Meat is an important part of a cat's diet. Eating meat is important for cats; they cannot survive without the nutrients found in animal-derived materials."
