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.

Pets are considered part of the family by the majority of pet owners.

So, my 5 cats, 6 dogs, 1 hamster and our aquarium contribute to global warming? CNN wants us to adopt a rat instead of dogs, cats or normal pets? I’ll adopt a RAT, I’ll find young democrat to adopt - and he’ll become smart... 😁

I can understand the maggots that hang out at CNN wanting to take in baby RATS. They’re just like kids to them.

Given that we got 8 inches of snow on Friday and Saturday, and much of that remains on lawns, I for one, WELCOME global warming!

Luckily, the ground is still warm enough that none of the white schiff remains on the roads.

AFA replacing dogs with 'small rodents' as pets, Canaduh has gone far beyond that! Just look at our Prime Mistake! Unfortunately he is a LARGE rat, rather than a small rodent!

“Vermin is man’s best friend”. I don’t think so. They’d be great plague spreaders.

We live on a working farm, so my cats are indoor/outdoor.

If there are not entrails of SOME kind left by the kitchen door, I know they’ll be hungry that morning, LOL!

Does that, ‘Vegetarian means Bad Hunter’ title work for cats, too? ;)

Mary had a little sheep
She hugged it as she went to sleep
The sheep turned out to be a ram
So Mary had a little lamb.

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.

They are possessed by demons.

Satan is out to kill, steal, and destroy. He’s a liar and the father of lies.

Those engaging in similar activities are his own.

“They are possessed by demons.”

I don’t understand why everyone can’t see this. It’s obvious in their eyes.

Right, so just take away everything that makes life worth living - good food, children, pets we love, nice homes, heating, cooling - and eventually we’ll all just kill ourselves so the elites can live in peace without us troublesome masses.
