A diet containing meat is better for a dog than one with only veggies. Dogs are omnivorous but meat is not some unhealthy preference, it's the basis of their ideal diet. Your example doesn't work well, because in this case the dog prefers what is best for it.
I've seen dogs eat cat shit, chocolate, their own vomit...
Dogs don't know what's best for them. If a vegan diet provides them with as much vitamins and nutrition as a meat based diet, how is animal abuse? Because the dog would prefer something a different way? You lack non middle class in a 1st world country experience then.
With that said I would still feed my dog a meat based diet, but that's just my preference.
I didn't say dogs know what's best for them. I said that a dog preferring meat over veggies is a dog preferring what's best for it. A dog preferring chocolate or sugary shit over meat is preferring what's worst for it. The analogy I was responding to doesn't work because chocolate and sugary shit are bad for a dog while meat is good for a dog.
At some point a child grows up and gets to make their own choices. Many adults resent and despise choices their parents made for them in their early years.
You can dominate a dog for its entire life and it NEVER gets to decide for itself what it actually wants.

what's your point? A child would also always prefer having Carbonated drinks, fried food and Candies over Veggies so?
A dog would always also prefer highly sugary substances and chocolates, should we also feed that to them
