The world is full of crazies

Now they are after our pets, or the kind of pets we normally would keep. Instead of the traditional dog or cat,  keeping  "edible" pets is what we should do,  all in the name of saving the environment

....a study by Victoria University (New Zealand) professors Brenda and Robert Vale, architects who specialize in sustainable living.

They advise in the study, published in New Scientist and in their new book, "Time To Eat The Dog" (we are not making this up), that because of the impact of pets on the earth, people should have pets that are edible.

They do not actually say your wiener dog should be on the menu. But they've calculated the carbon emissions created by popular pets, taking into account the ingredients of pet food and the land needed to create them. They advise having pets like rabbits or chickens. Maybe we could start a Cash for Cluckers program.

"If you have a German shepherd or similar-sized dog, for example, its impact every year is exactly the same as driving a large car around," Brenda Vale said...........
