Save the Planet, Eat Your Dog

Posted by timothy on from the children-too-stringy dept.

R3d M3rcury writes "New Zealand's Dominion Post reports on a new book just released, Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living. In this book, they compare the environmental footprint of our housepets to other things that we own. Like that German Shepherd? It consumes more resources than two Toyota SUVs. Cats are a little less than a Volkswagen Golf. Two hamsters are about the same as a plasma TV. Their suggestions? Chickens, rabbits, and pigs. But only if you eat them."

    Why not? They certainly must have a much bigger carbon footprint than the family dog.

    I'm fucking fed up with people... plastic bags that fucking fall apart... Fucking hypocrites! ... What a fucking joke... stop fucking the environment? No you don't need to fucking eat Fido. Don't have more than 2 kids in your lifetime... The one reason we're fucking up there environment is that there's about 6.5 BILLION people...

    So the only fucking way to save the fucking environment is to stop fucking so much?

    I'm so fucking confused!
