<\/div>

I\u2019ve often wondered if meat eating animals smell differently than plant eating animals. And if so, can meat eating animals tell if other animals are plant eaters or vegan?<\/p>\n

A 2006 study<\/a> published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and National Institute of Health examined the effect of meat consumption on body odor attractiveness in humans. Male participants were on \u201cmeat\u201d and \u201cnon meat\u201d diets for two weeks during the study. The results showed that the body odor of the men on the non-meat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense. The study suggested that \u201cRed meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"vegan<\/a>With that in mind, this brings me to my story of snakes, and in particular, rattlesnakes. Most snakes have a fantastic sense of smell.\u00a0According to Wikipedia \u201cSnakes use smell to track their prey. They smell by using their\u00a0forked tongues\u00a0to collect airborne particles, then passing them to the\u00a0<\/em>vomeronasal organ\u00a0or\u00a0Jacobson’s organ\u00a0in the mouth for examination. The fork in the tongue gives snakes a sort of directional sense of smell and taste simultaneously. They keep their tongues constantly in motion, sampling particles from the air, ground, and water, analyzing the chemicals found, and determining the presence of prey or predators in the local environment.\u201d \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Now, I haven\u2019t had a lot of experience with rattlesnakes. As a vegan I have to say that I love ALL animals. However, I have to say that I am somewhat fearful of rattlesnakes and wouldn\u2019t want to get really close to one! I\u2019m just fearful of getting bit, or worse yet, having one of my dogs\u00a0get bit from one.<\/p>\n

\"vegan<\/a>So one day this spring, we took our (vegan)\u00a0dogs\u00a0on a beautiful hike near our house. \u00a0At the trail\u2019s exit was a short paved blacktop driveway, where water company trucks pulled in before the trail turned to dirt.\u00a0My dog, Cassy, stopped to smell something on the blacktop and I heard a \u201cpssst\u201d (like when someone wants to secretly get your attention). I looked down at the end of the leash and saw Cassy smelling the head\u00a0of a perfectly coiled rattlesnake!!!!\u00a0 The snake was expertly hidden in a little pothole located on the blacktop driveway. A brilliant place for a rattlesnake to be! Before I could even react, shout, scream, pull on Cassy, etc\u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026Cassy happily decided she was done smelling and off we went. My husband and I both saw what happened\u2026\u2026\u2026..and we looked at each other in disbelief\u2026\u2026\u2026.deliriously happy that Cassy had not been bit.<\/p>\n

As a vegan and plant eating animal, did Cassy smell differently to the rattlesnake than a meat eating animal? Did the rattlesnake know that Cassy meant no harm, and did the rattlesnake know that Cassy was VEGAN? Believe me, this is something that my husband and I have pondered since this happened. It\u2019s an interesting concept to think about\u2026\u2026.if animals actually know if other animals are vegan. I haven\u2019t been able to find any studies on this phenomenon. Animals have a superior sense of smell, and I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if they were\u00a0able to tell the difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
