In today’s world, if there something you’re not really happy about, you don’t need to try that hard to find a group of people that you can easily blame. This group of people not only ruined the diamond industry but also beer, napkins and all kinds of other very important things you can’t live without. Wonder who these people are? Of course, it’s the most hated generation of all – the millennials, and this time they decided to ruin one more industry.

RELATED:

    Recently, a website shared an article that blamed millennials for ruining pet food brands

    In the article, it stated that since millennials love their animals so much, they are keen to buy fancier pet food. This change is bankrupting many famous food brands such as Nestle, which is considered to be one of the most hated companies in the world for its major contribution to pollution and child labor.

    So basically, the article is encouraging people to not only love their animals less but to also support companies that make unhealthy food which can harm them in the long run.

    Of course, millennials quickly jumped to defend themselves

    This is such lazy journalism, I am not a millennial I am 41 but I love my dog with all my heart and want what is best for her, I would never feed her c**p food, its not a millennial thing its a love thing and its not "treating you dog like a child" its feeding a family member what is best for them, seems to be a very lazy article to me.

    THANK YOU! I'm 51 (Gen X), and have been feeding my pets good quality food since my mid-20s. Domesticated animals depend on their humans for everything, and it's our responsibility to provide good nutrition. Not only is the article lazy journalism, it's reflecting lazy business practice as well.

    Ok..without even reading the article, I can honestly say this is not a millennials thing...this is a pet owner thing. All you have to do is look at paintings of royalty long ago to see that we've been spoiling those pets since probably the dawn of time. I worked in a groom shop for a year..and the spoiling of pets knows no age, financial or social boundaries. The reason why the leaders in the pet food industry are taking a hit is because people have become keenly aware of how to read labels and realize that they've been feeding garbage to their pets for the last 100+ years.....
