Save the planet by eating your dog!

[Peairtach]

A new book claims that pet owners should eat their pets in order to save the Earth from global warming. That is, unless their pets are canaries or goldfish!

Pet dogs as bad for planet as driving 4x4s, book claims - Telegraph

Great. Now I have to get a new cook book.

 

[Rich Koster]

I want to take my neighbor's dog for a wok.

 

[kvanlaan]

They are tasty and nutritious.

 

[Peairtach]

Surely all the flatulent dogs should be eaten first!

 

[JoyFullMom]

Ahhhh.....but here in the good 'ol USA....our illustrious government is supposed to be coming up with a TAX CREDIT for pet owners...to keep us from abandoning them.

So...if you eat Rover, you might as well eat $1300.

....or so says talk radio

This appears to be the first good reason to support environmentalists! Rich, you got there before me ... "Time to take the dog for a wok" would have been just as wonderful, but you beat me to it. "I love dogs. They are so good in garlic and pepper sauce."

I have done my part.

 

[JoyFullMom]

Rofl

 

[Rich Koster]

I have done my part.

Was it Lassie Fillet or General Tso's kitten?

 

[Berean]

Do the lefties from 'save the planet' agree with the lefties from PETA about this?

I'm curious about how the carbon footprint of my cat compares to that of my children. Should we instead present a modest proposal for their baking and broiling?

 

[Skyler]

Anyone remember Noone's Cryogenics?

Goodbye doggie hello Toyota Land Cruiser! Always did want one of dem!

It would be interesting to discuss this verse.

How much chicken do you eat in a year's time? How much beef? Why not dog?

As long as you do not torment your intended meal and you make sure to end their lives quickly, then it is all good. Unless you are advocating wholesale vegeterianism on moral grounds (Presbyvegeterianism?).

P.s. I would love to kill and roast all those stupid little annoying Chihuahuas that are now trendy to have. Why in the world are we breeding dogs to be genetically inferior and stupider?

I've actually eaten dog. It wasn't bad. Monkey, too. Didn't enjoy it so much.
Just throwing the verse out there.
