This should cause some internecine war between the eco-loons and the animal rights nuts while effectively alienating normal people who prefer to pet rather than eat their Golden Retriever.

Yawn. Just another issue for liberals to get their panties in a twist and feel guilty over.

The authors can follow-up this book with something like “Veganism for Dogs.”

To make up for the dog and 2 cats I think I’ll go out and shoot 5 spotted owls, a couple of wolves and one or two polar bears. Oh yeah, a few clubbings for some seals. After all, wild animals are no different than pets when it comes to carbon feetsprints.

Oh, maybe a whale. What the heck, I live on the coast. Might as well do everything I can for the en-viro-mint.

So I guess that my boarding kennel is roughly equivalent to this:

What a bunch of maroons!

And each envirowacko pollutes as much as a pick up truck. Each envirowacko then should walk into a restaurant and offer him/her/itself up as dinner. Rids the planet of a big polluter.

The carbon footprint of the liberal population is shocking. I can’t understand how they can go on living, with the knowledge of what they’re doing to the environment.

I have a sixty pound Lab/Collie/?? Mix and a 40 pound Cocker-Blue Heeler Mix, AND a Cat.

And I drive my 1995 Ford Escort with 303,000 miles on it, approximately 22,000 miles a year, give or take. I also get 35-39 mpg unless I need a tune-up, in which case I get 30 mpg.

I recycle what the transfer station accepts.

And I don’t give a Democrat’s @ss what my ‘carbon footprint’ is. The Earth Is Doing Just Fine!

We need to use our brains and the Earth’s Resources to promote Capitalism! Do you think for a minute that Islam would survive a strong Middle Class of Entrepreneurs? Have you given thought to how Capitalism supports democracy and individual freedom and liberty?

Capitalism and Entrepreneurship has a symbiotic relationshiop with Freedom and Liberty. And these create a Middle Class. And the Middle Class is the foundation for a democracy. Preferably a Republic, which is better than mob-rule democracy.

Environuts are worshiping Nature at the expense of Humanity. And this is insane. But then, Environuts are Liberals and by definition, mentally ill.

Then the whole bunch of dogs I’ve pulled from shelters this year has a greater carbon footprint than the SUV I use to go get them.

I like it.

Given the amount of malodorous gas emitted by my two Labradors, they may be single-handedly responsible for the melting glaciers in Greenland.

“should cause some internecine war between the eco-loons and the animal rights nuts”

Not really. They're on the same page with this.
Animal rights nuts HATE dogs. That's why they're always support breed bans and odious ownership rules. They love anything that makes owning a pet more difficult.

That’s it. I’ve had all I’m going to take from these people. This is where I draw the line.

I have three cats, and I'm not giving them up ever for any reason.

And when I get out of Kalifornia and have a house with a yard, I'm going to get a dog! Preferably a collie or a German shepherd, because those are my favorite breeds.

I'm 56 now and I haven't had a dog since I was 19-1/2. Maybe I've saved up enough carbon credits by now? ;)

Just in from by husband,

If your wife and dog are outside. One is barking to get in the front door, the other is yelling to get in the back. Which one do you let in?

Answer: the dog, because when he comes in at least he will shut up.

With my dog the offending greenhouse gas is methane rather than CO2.

Time to just start eating liberals.

I’m sure with enough barBQ sauce or tabasco you could make the mangy curs palatable.
