I want you Freepers to do your patriotic duty ... and kill your dog ... and eat him.

Last week President Obama announced a historic climate change agreement with Chinese president Xi Jinping. Aimed at drastically curtailing carbon emissions into the atmosphere, the goal is to rein in the carbon footprints of the planet’s two major polluters, the U.S. and China.
I wonder if the agreement contains anything about carbon paw prints. While humans and their ravenous appetite for growth remain the primary drivers of climate change and the accompanying specter of climate catastrophe, pets have a surprising negative impact of their own. Bowser and Mittens may be your best friends, but with around one billion pet dogs and cats in the world, eating billions of pounds of canned meat a year producing half a billion pounds of waste daily, Mother Nature might just consider them to be—after humans—Public Enemy Number Two.
Cats and dogs eat meat-based diets, and we all know that is the most energy intensive diet there is. Then there is the staggering amount of bacteria-laden fecal material these beloved creatures produce. American dogs alone are responsible for 10 million tons of waste a year. Can anything be done to make our pets more planet-friendly?
The Carbon Paw Print
You consider yourself an environmentalist and are considering ditching that gas-guzzling SUV you bought a few years ago in order to reduce your carbon footprint. You might want to think of ditching Bowser instead. An average-sized dog consumes about 360 pounds of meat in a year and about 210 pounds of cereal. Taking into account the amount of land it takes to generate that amount of food and the energy used, that makes your dog quite the carbon hound.

Aren’t dogs a delicacy in China?
Come for my dogs,there will be loss of life.
The obvious thing to do, then, is to just kill everybody in the US and China.
But think of how pet ownership helps the economy and reduces human medical costs!
Muslims HATE dogs... just sayin’
Leave my dog alone.
Dogs need to have Constitutional protections - free speech et.al.
My dogs’ lives are worth more than all the liberals’ lives put together.
Alternet, if you didn't know, is a sensationalist left wing blogsite that's comparable to the 'right-wing' website 'World Net Daily': Meaning, just nothing but pure nuttery in every story. Two departing crazy trains on the left and right platforms, destination Kooksville. ALLLL Aboard!
Anyone relating a story that they'd read on Alternet or World Net Daily in casual conversation in the company of decent people would identify themselves as a loon in need of shunning, and for good reason.

OMG! They’re worse than evil SUV’s!
Don’t eat meat, don’t have a drink, don’t use quality light bulbs, don’t run your air conditioning, don’t drive your car, don’t have a pet.
Liberals hate people, so they try to ban or hamper everything that brings some joy (to normal people; buggery, baby-killing, race-hatred and atheism bring joy to liberals) This global warm, uh, climate change fiction is great for them in that they can say everything is a cause of it.
Pets were killed by the millions during Mao’s Cultural Revolution in the 1960s . . . sort of an encore for the millions of people whom the ChiComs killed in the decade earlier.
Go to the Salon link and read the comments. I love to read moonbat libs fighting with each other. More fun than I have had in a long time
Muslims are eco-friendly! !
Doesn’t Congress have to ratify this???
I would kill the lib and let my dog feast.
