Worried About the State of the Planet? Then Eat Your Dog!

Dog owners should consider, erm, not being dog owners if they care about the environment – or even eating their pet in order to save the planet, according to a new book. The book claims that the carbon footprint left by domesticated animals is huge, arguing that a medium-sized dog has the same impact as a Toyota Land Cruiser driven 6,000 miles a year, while a cat is equivalent to a Volkswagen Golf.

The book, Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide to Sustainable Living claims  the average Collie eats 164kg of meat and 95kg of cereals a year, giving it a high impact on the planet.

I went on to Amazon to see if the book was only available as a digital (evironmentally friendly) edition. Alas no. The paperback is available for sale ready to be loaded on to a diesel powered truck following the cutting down of some trees and being sprayed with ink. Whether the paper is recyled or not, let’s just hope the book doesn’t sell millions – because the environmental impact might require even more owners to eat their dogs to save this oh so fragile planet of ours.

Highly Recommended: This could be the most important link you EVER click as far as your dog’s life is concerned – see why….!
