Thanks for killing the planet, dog owners.
Well, that's a rough paraphrase of a New Zealand study that claims a medium-size dog leaves a larger ecological footprint than an SUV.
In "Time to Eat the Dog? The Real Guide to Sustainable Living," authors Robert and Brenda Vale argue that resources required to feed a dog — including the amount of land needed to feed the animals that go into its food — give it about twice the eco-footprint of, say, building and fueling a Toyota Land Cruiser. Noting that a cat's pawprint was roughly equivalent to a Volkswagen Golf's, "New Scientist" (www.newscientist.com) asked an environmentalist at the Stockholm Environment Institute in York, U.K., to independently calculate animals' environmental impact, and reported that "his figures tallied almost exactly." The study apparently didn't take into account the emissions of either the SUV or the dogs.

Eco-nazis leave a bigger eco-footprint than a dog!
Pray for Aemrica’s Freedom
Agree; my dog will outlive anyone who tells me to get rid of her...
Shoot all the squirrels first.
A cat has the footprint of a Volks?
Try a world with no cats. Our locals found out very, very fast when they relocated a controlled feral cat colony at the docks.
The rats took over and rats have no fear of humans.
They brought the cat colony back.
Great idea for a cage fight. The eco nazis against Cujo.
Lots of popcorn for that one.
If the left thinks taking my guns will be difficult, wait till they come after my lab!
“Great idea for a cage fight. The eco nazis against Cujo.

You’ve presented an impossible choice for me. I’d have to choose Cujo.
This guy needs his ass kicked.
Ants are the problem.
There are one billion ants to every human on the planet. Such large numbers burrowing into our grounds is unacceptable.
Kill the Ants...Save the World
Maybe dogs should be fed the carcasses of the over-population nuts...solve two problems at one blow.
At what point in absurdity, will normal people begin publicly and loudly ridiculing liberal morons like these dog haters? Really. These types what to tax cow farts!!! Come on! Have those morons been ridiculed into silence? NO! Au contraire, they’re going to tax cow farts! What in hell is wrong with the sane people, that they don’t tear down every absurd liberal statement and thus stem the tide of absurdity? There are of course so many, thousands, so many liberal idiot ideas at once that you can’t ridicule them all. That is one of Alinsky’s Rules, give ‘em more than they can handle and overwhelm them. Works pretty good, if the eco-goofs can say dogs are evil, when most people LOVE dogs, and they get away with such stupidity.
The more liberals I meet or hear of, the more I LOVE MY DOGS.
... and I’ve never stepped in a pile of SUV doo-doo...
“Ants are the problem.

If there was an animal democracy, we’d be in big heap trouble.
I for one welcome our new insect Overlords!
Aren’t they coming on “V” tomorrow night?
But will a Toyota Land Cruiser lick your hand?
STUPID HIPPIES
My 4 SUVs, I mean, dogs said they didn’t care....
hh
The WWII NAZI occupation nearly destroyed over a dozen dog breeds in France, Belgium, & Holland, principally as liners for winter coats. This is a Dutch Shepherd (I've had three over the years).
These dogs are now a major industry in southern Holland, producing some of the finest police and military dogs in the world.
I’d be rooting for Cujo. Maybe Micheal Vick could be the referee. Just thinkin.
Two to one on the dog!
