YOUR PET IS KILLING THE EARTH. THANKS.

A study by UCLA indicates that pets are a not insignificant contributor to global warming. The study claims that pet ownership in the United States creates about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide a year – the equivalent of driving 13.6 million cars for a year. The problem actually lies with their meat-based pet foods. Compared to a plant-based diet, meat production “requires more energy, land and water and has greater environmental consequences in terms of erosion, pesticides and waste,” the study found. And speaking of waste, feeding pets also leads to about 5.1 million tons of feces every year, roughly equivalent to the total trash production of Massachusetts.
* I think I’d rather have pet waste than the state of Massachusetts.
* The body heat of my cat alone could easily raise the Earth’s temperature by three degrees.
* Well, the solution is obvious. We should make pet food out of old pets.
* Or wait – is that what Spam is made of?
