CNN ridiculed for blaming pets for impact on climate change, advocating 'insect-based food' and adopting small rodents instead of dogs

The latest scapegoat for climate change is your lovable dog and cuddly cat. According to CNN, pets are a negative impact in regards to climate change. CNN gave green advice on how to reduce your pets' "carbon pawprint," including feeding your canine companion "insect-based food" and adopting small rodents instead of dogs.

Late last month, CNN published an article titled: "Our pets are part of the climate problem. These tips can help you minimize their carbon pawprints." The article went largely unnoticed until CNN promoted the article on social media – where it was widely ridiculed.

CNN claimed that pets "play a significant role in the climate crisis."

The outlet argued that the meat-heavy diet of pets is accelerating climate change.

The article cited a 2017 study that contended that feeding cats and dogs have the same carbon impact as 13.6 million cars on the road.

The author conceded that you don't have to eliminate your furry friend, but you should embrace climate-friendly practices when it comes to having a pet.

Kill your baby.

If it’s already born trans it.

If they have a pet kill it.

What a wonderful bunch the leftists are.

I know pit bull threads are right up there on FR with civil war threads and Catholic v. Protestant threads for pushing hot buttons, but there is a very strong case to be made that breed specific legislation (i.e. bans against, "pit bull" ownership) is merely a gateway for eventually banning all pet ownership.

Many on the extreme end of the animal rights movement have been arguing for such for decades.

Sometimes I do things without knowing it would piss off leftists global warming freaks. I have a 3 month old Cane Corso puppy. His daddy is 152 lbs. I hope I am raising a dog that has the carbon footprint of a typical human.

Ok. What do they want people to do with all their pets? Euthanize them? Let them lose in the country? What? These people are nuts.

This is so typical of today’s leftists. No dogs. No cats. No cars. No hamburgers.
Everyone’s life must be drab and dull and politically correct.

But of course some exceptions will be made.

All those rats rummaging through the drug encampments are pets.

If you take CNN as a comedy act, they’re not so bad. No, wait! Nah, they still are bad.

Where is the story on CNN describing how their in-house cafeteria/restaurant has shifted to bug-based menu items?

I’d be willing to feed all the liberals to my cats. Would that work?

I truly think that these people hate themselves, and they hate mankind. They want to kill off mankind so that the Earth is “pure and clean” and inhabited by no humans.

I’m not going to begin to try to analyze why they hate themselves and humanity so much, but I will guarantee you that is what we’re talking about here.

Leftism and environmentalism are pagan religions and I guarantee you these people are chomping at the bit to kill for their religion. That means if you are a normal rational person you are in their gun sights. Trying to compromise or get along with them will just get you killed that much sooner. And realize that isn’t just you, it’s your spouse, your kids, and your grandkids, they want to do away with.

So, give up your guns, hop on that box car out to the country for your government financed a vacation.

“These people are nuts.”


No, they are NOT nuts. They know exactly what they are doing and are quite good at it.
