This is outrageous!

"Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance, mainly because of the carbon footprint of meat

Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares, slightly less than driving a Volkswagen Golf for a year, while two hamsters equates to a plasma television and even the humble goldfish burns energy equivalent to two mobile telephones.

Man's best friend could be one of the environment's worst enemies, according to a new study which says the carbon pawprint of a pet dog is more than double that of a gas-guzzling sports utility vehicle.

...not really that surprised to see it happen though.

Unacceptable carbon footprints. I say we kill half the population!

+1

lets start with all the Yankees and Cowboys fans

Sounds like it's time to get a second dog, and delete the primary cats from the M3.

All this eco-mentalist crap is getting out of hand. I agree that people should be careful to not be wasteful, recycle etc... but some of these people are nuts!

[InsaneSkippy]

I swear, some of these people just sit around all day and try to FIND something to complain about.

[montreal red]

so if i kill my neighbor next time he's having a noisy party, i'll tell the cops that i am reducing mankind's carbon footprint! awesome excuse!

[BForbes]

I thought I was the only one that found it a bit nutty. Whew!

their job lol

I thought that was pretty interesting... I'd didn't expect a dog to be more than a SUV.

[lucas.kent]

Absolutely ridiculous. I like eating a big burger once in a while, having a cold glass of milk, and love my dog like she is a family member. These are just some of the things that make life worth living.

Every time I see something like this I think about the sheer arrogance of man. The earth has been around for over 4 and a half BILLION years. I don't think me having a miniature schnauzer is going to bring Mother Earth to her knees.

I love this stuff, these moonbats had the ear of the world for a while. Everyone believed "An Inconvenient Truth" and all of the other slop they were pushing. So now they've gotten to be so overconfident they've completely crossed the line of sanity. Now everyone is seeing them for what they really are: Kooks, crackpots, and scammers.

More eco-terrorist crap. But it's good to see people are waking up to what these people are all about....which is no good.

Like a guy a couple posts ago said, I am for reduced pollution and using fewer resources when possible and PRACTICAL. But not at the expense of more government control and less progress as humans.

Got a 187 in progress, people are breathing and it's killing me LOLOLOL. Thank god that plant jumped in the way and used up that carbon dioxide or I woulda been dead for sure!

All this is junk science-

Global cooling in the 1970's

Coffee is bad, no wait coffee is good

Eggs are bad, no wait eggs are good

Cell phones will give you cancer, no wait they don't, no wait they do

All alchohol is bad, no wait, some is good, no wait, it's good for some but not good for others

[nusevad]

in the end everything that we know and depend on in our everyday lives is going to be labeled "bad". But what is inevitable is that eventually we will need a new energy source, because once fossil fuels runs out and we do not have a alternative and efficient energy source then its going to be mayhem. Countries will be going to war just to sustain the norm.

LOL, "Excuse me sir. Your dog just farted, we're going to have euthanize it and take you to jail for the offense."

Just think these people actually think that would be reasonable.

[DBFIU]

Kids call the cops on the their parents these days if they get spanked. When I broke sh1t in my house, i got spanked and it made me a better person. Now if you spank your kid for being bad, you go to jail.

Fantastic. Lets breed a society of soft, petty little girls that will never learn discipline from their own home or their own government.

You failed school? thats ok, take it again!

This doesnt exist anywhere else in the world, if you fail, you fail!

Only in this country do they have all these artificial made up titles that mean nothing and give people a feeling of self worth and expertise in nothing.

I want to go back to 1776.

The eco-terrorist didn't get what they want from the Copenhegan Conference, now they take it on our pets....
