Save the Planet - Ban Pets

Post by Col Hogan »

LOS ANGELES, CA — When it comes to global warming, Fido and Fluffy are part of the problem, a new study by UCLA indicates.

Most cat or dog lovers would say they can't imagine living in a world without pets, but as the threat of global warming increases, environmentally conscious pet lovers may need to make some tough choices, according to the study.

Pet ownership in the United States creates about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, UCLA researchers found. That's the equivalent of driving 13.6 million cars for a year. The problem lies with the meat-filled diets of kitties and pooches, according to the study by UCLA geography professor Gregory Okin.

Maybe my wife's yapper, but nothing keeps varmits at bay like a good hound. Indispensable for country living.
You matter. Unless you multiply yourself by c squared. Then you energy.

Imagine all the people who hop into their car with the save-the-planet type bumper stickers, and drive a half hour to pet smart to buy food made from farting cows in de-forested Brazil.
