SAVE THE PLANET: Eat A Dog? “The eco-pawprint of a pet dog is twice that of a 4.6-litre Land Cruiser driven 10,000 kilometres a year, researchers have found. 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, such as chickens or rabbits, in their provocative new book Time to Eat the Dog.”
Idiots!
Gits. How much energy is wasted by professors doing stupid studies? Perhaps they’re vying for an Ig Nobel prize.
I’ve got a .357 that says the cat’s not on the menu anytime soon.
We have three dogs and a cat.
I second the motion by SoCalRobert.
Another example of the moonbatshitcrazy liberals.
No wonder pets and their owners prefer Republicans!
Whatever. We lost our beloved dog over the summer. We plan on getting another dog some time next year, eco-pawprints be damned.
I had my dog put down a few weeks ago. Even if we did eat dogs, there’s no way in hell I would have done so. Nevermind the tumor or the abcess on his face, I just loved him too damn much.
But then I’m not a cold, heartless liberal fascinated with death.
Saxby, Shadow & Marley are completely aghast at this report and have asked me who they should bite.
Rule Number-First for peaceful farm life…DO NOT let the kids name any animals destined for the pantry or basement deep-freezer. Pets have names; that nice fat hiefer destined for the Fourth-of-July BBQ grill is ‘Number-16″, or “…that fat brown one”. No familial-bonding with the future hog-bellies, steaks or chicken nuggets. Being useful and/or cute is what kept cats and dogs out of the stewing pot.
As an architect myself, I feel great shame and indignation that these ‘people’ are identified as members of my profession…though they are university professors, so we know they’re parasites in the first-place. And 1st-orders tools.
Heh, or just be more realistic. We raised a cow every year for slaughter.
It started off as
“Terri(aki)”
“Oregeno”
“Salt + Pepper”
and finally, “Food.”
Ok – we officially have to be done with these nutjobs
ok – we have to be officially done with these nutjobs!
Well, nuts! When armageddon hits, I was looking forward to making a stew out of the neighbor’s barky chihuahua! What’s the appropriate seasoning for a mexican dog?
His other 3 ‘huahuas, along with my 2 dogs and cat are all relatively safe. After barky, we’ve got squirrels and liberals to take out!
Chihuahua is Vietnamese for appatizer.
And yes, this comes from a guy who lives with one.
