Sadly, not everyone who can go vegan will. And not everyone is in a position to go vegan, as you outline. But, for the vast majority of people, they will have to go vegan for their health and the planet's survival. If only animal ethics could make a greater impact than it does.
Anyone and everyone can adopt and advocate a vegan lifestyle. There are no exceptions. Based on the definition „as far as possible and practical „. We can all avoid more animal products for cosmetics, entertainment, clothing etc. That has nothing to do with diet.
Since "ought implies can," those actually incapable of going entirely vegan are not morally obligated to do so. But the story need not end there, since others may inherit or accept an obligation to help erase the barriers to universal veganism.
Animals cannot adopt a vegan lifestyle as it’s an ethical standpoint but we can reduce their consumption and use of other animal products. Dogs definitely don’t need meat or a leather lead.

It’s frustrating that animal ethics aren’t making a bigger impact, but every step forward counts. We have to keep pushing for change!

Nor can animals, including our pets.
