Woof.
Mother Jones republished an article from fellow progressive outlet The Guardian on Saturday that argued that while dogs may be man's best friend, they're Mother Nature's "villains."
The left-wing magazine highlighted new research, originally published by The Guardian, that concluded dogs have "extensive and multifarious" environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions. It pinpointed how canines are disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds.

Interesting. Guess he would rather eat them.
Come and get me, wussy boy!
I trust my dogs as character judges before I take anyone’s word...
A policy that has saved me from more than one ‘ugly’ encounter.
I don’t “hate” them but I’m not a fan of them in restaurants, hotels, grocery stores, etc.
Muzzies trying to prepare us to give up our dogs.
My dog says liberals are actually bad for the environment.
That dog is a National hero, IMO....Awesome....
Who would guard my mattress from the threats my dog knows to exist? Who would walk the perimeter after dark? Who would keep the raccoons and opossums out of our bird feeders? Who would announce the certain crimes the mailman is most certainly involved in? Who would get the McValue Hamburger at that window? Who would enforce the various rules and regulations in the home? For example, the two or more persons in the kitchen constitutes a party? The plate cleaning duties? The Spaghetti vacuum?
Liberals are bad for the environment!
Figures. The left already hate men and babies, dogs were never going to get a fair shake once the Marxists turn an eye towards them.
Years ago, they were trying to ban cats to save birds. It’s always something.
“Yeah, there are people here who hate dogs.”
W.C. Fields once said, “Any man who hates kids and dogs can’t be ALL bad.”
Must have been a Democrat!
If dogs are bad for the environment, next will be babies. You don’t call them the Culture of Death for nothing.
Dogs are good people so naturally liberals hate them. Plus they’re insufficiently revolutionary. Too willing to accept their place in the hierarchy and all that.
“Mao hated dogs and would not allow anyone in his inner circle to own one.”
That hatred flowed down to everybody in the country. I worked in China late 1976 to late spring 1977. I got to Beijing two weeks after Mao had died. I was there starting up the power plant in the fertilizer factories being built by Kellogg Continental.
At the first job site in Yunnan province, there were some large pipes lying on the ground awaiting installation. The pipes were 12” or 14” diameter and about 20 feet long. Some young boys put a tiny puppy into a pipe, closed the ends, and then began banging on the pipe with rocks. Imagine the banging and echoing sound inside that pipe. They kept that up for a long time. The poor puppy came out a discombobulated nervous wreck.
I was told by other foreign workers at the site that the Chinese did that intentionally to raise the dog fur. It supposedly made the fur more valuable for making dog fur hats because it was standing up. I never got confirmation of that story, but it sure was plausible based on what I saw.
That wasn’t the only animal cruelty I saw there.
If they do own a dog and it bites you they’ll insist that it wasn’t their dog.
My dog is bad for the environment, especially when she farts.
Only if you step in it.
Too much co-existence.
In my very leftist neighborhood, people are always bringing their dogs into groceries and coffee shops, even though the sign says only service dogs allowed.
The many leftist dog owners are so entitled, they don't even bother to put those phony Service Animal vests on their dogs.
And at least half the dogs I see outdoors are unleashed, though the law in my area mandates leashes on dogs.
Nothing uniquely "conservative" about dogs. Leftists love dogs.
HOWEVER, exceptions will be made for any Trans Canines.
