New Zealand's Dominion Post reports on a new book just released, Time to Eat the Dog: The real guide to sustainable living.
In this book, they compare the environmental footprint of our housepets to other things that we own (http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/national/2987821/Save-the-planet-eat-a-dog).
Like that German Shepherd? It consumes more resources than two Toyota SUVs.
Cats are a little less than a Volkswagen Golf. Two hamsters are about the same as a plasma TV.
Their suggestions? Chickens, rabbits, and pigs.
But only if you eat them.
