Pets are only eco-friendly if you eat them. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/national/2987821/Save-the-planet-eat-a-dog Hmm, people must be much worse than dogs - people have dogs AND cars.

I got into an elevator yesterday with a 125 pound German shepherd...like a small person and of course his diet is all meat. People with dogs should have a 10% surtax addeed to their income tax PER DOG. I moved into a complex with a strict no pet clause in the lease...it's ignored so now. So a rough estimate is 5,000 dogs with 5,000 lumps of shit to dispose of daily. So I take back my first line, cockroaches are FAR more eco friendly. Cost of owning a 50 pound dog in the suburban the midwest U.S.: Total over the life of a 14 year old dog LOW: $4,242.00 AUTHOR'S COST: $12,468.00 HIGH: $38,905.00 The author said also: Quote: It is not uncommon to see some of these numbers double or triple in places like New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Dallas. Now granted most people do not end up spending $40,000 on their dog, but some spend a whole lot more. Neighbor just spent $5000 for a hip replacement for an aging Airdale...this after dropping $6 grand last year on cancer surgery. To get his weight down they were advised to feed him ONLY steaks and DO...he likes Porterhouse and T-bone, which they cannot affford for THEMSELVES. THe dog is supported completely by a combination of VISA and MASTER CARD accounts. http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=2+1671&aid=1543 Edited by Trotsky, Oct 28 2009, 01:15 AM.

(I actually chatted in New York with Mrs. Warboys...Doreen Mantle) In a world where millions are starving to death, pet dogs are an obscenity as are the third, fourth and fifth child.
