Dogs use up more energy resources than a car, authors claim | Environment | News.com.au

In their book Time to Eat the Dog: The Real Guide tDogo Sustainable Living, New Zealand-based architects Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000km a year in a 4.6 litre Land Cruiser."

Dogs use up more energy resources than a car, authors claim | Environment | News.com.au: "* More energy needed to keep dog than a car
* Get pets to go vegetarian to save planet
* Go 'green' with pets like fish and rabbits

THEY'RE faithful, friendly and furry - but under their harmless, fluffy exteriors, dogs and cats, the world's most popular house pets, use up more energy resources in a year than driving a car, a new book says.

Wow...how far up your whatchamacallit do you have your head. Really? One dog takes up more energy resources than a car?? Explain that to me. Hmmm...I can't recall the last time that I had to fill my dog up with gasoline. Or maybe do you mean the energy I exert walking him 4 times a day? Do you mean the amount of energy used to manufacture dog food?? Wow, all I can say is WOW!! You sir need to see someone

Mind you, if we got rid of your species, look at how much energy we would spare. Musta been a Jew who wrote the book, anything to make sure that every little thing living on the planet other than yourselves is devalued and made out to be the enemy. So typical of you "people." No wonder the Germans were fed up, they couldn't get jobs in their own motherland, they were starving and broke. All because the Jews bankrupted them with their shylock practices. And now you have sunk to a new low...blaming the drain on energy resources on dogs. Good one, we are due for a good cleansing soon.
