They are said to be "greener" pets because their smaller appetites equate to a smaller ecological footprint

Really? Can we get away from eco crap anywhere?

Think of it this way: another reason dogs are superior. Conservatives are less likely to give a darn about the latest “eco-friendly” nonsense.

(Note how they ignored the number of animals cats kill—birds, rodents, etc—without intention of eating. I’d say that more than makes up for the alleged “benefit” of a smaller appetite. )
