What a crock of shit!!!

If we put our German Sheperds on a diet of jet-setting eco-warriors, that would solve the carbon footprint problem, right? (providing the puppies' CFPs were a problem to begin with, which of course, they're not)

Lots o good puppy chow on that Al Gore guy too. Finally thought of something he might be good for.

Some people should sleep their life away and save their usage of our oxygen for my dog as he is more intelligent then them .

[Patish]

They forgot to mention, how much "green gas" my cat pollutes for a year. He loves do these "silent but deadly" things.

They're architects !!

WOW...the article claims "The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year"...

Sounds like global warming is more about science being massaged & manipulated by politics to effect social change & transfer wealth....

[PublicAnimalNo9]

The ONLY way I can see that even being close is if they're also including the plastic bags used in the enforced stoop'n'scoop laws. It seems that everbody and their dog has a dog these days. Even then, I find that quote to be a weeeee bit of a stretch.

[Yogi]

Where do they get the funding for such bullshit studies????

Perhaps 'we' could reduce the 'carbon footprint' by getting rid of two particular university professors!

[QBall]

$1:

Victoria University professors Brenda and Robert Vale, architects who specialise in sustainable living, say pet owners should swap cats and dogs for creatures they can eat...

I say we feed Brenda and Robert Vale to the dogs, that we eliminate their carbon footprint, reduce the carbon footprint of the dogs somewhat and rid the world of two useless "researchers".

[Brenda]

Hmmm, at least now we dont have to feel guilty about driving our cars anymore. The neighbours pet is MUCH worse for the environment!

[KorbenDeck]

Carbon offsets, shooting dogs. Hmmm gonna pay the local SPCA a visit.

[Pseudonym]

I know I burn a lot of energy chasing my dog around the yard, but I didn't think it took quite that much.

[ridenrain]

I this why we had high CO2 levels in the past, before we had cars? .. back when dogs ruled the world?

Global warming is always missing garbage day or if it dosen't, it leaves the bags out so crows get at it... and it stole my bicycle.
