    Sure I'm already eating all the animals I can.

    I picked a collie for my faithful companion in the end, but now I regret not going for the labradoodle, pure moreish mutt I'd imagine.

    I have three dogs, honestly if it came down to it we'd be eating you op (well same as all the stuff we kill I'd eat the good bits like your bum and legs and I'd slow cook your shoulders and arms, but the dogs would get your heart and lungs and liver and kidneys and all the gristley bits. The cats would get your brain and other pryon bits and then we'd boil your bones for stock)

    Dogs are stupid.
    If I die in my home a dog will sit there and die of starvation.
    My Cat on the other hand is smart and will eat me.

    Have a look for the thread where OP posted a picture of his feet. That'll ruin your appetite for eating him.

    Knew of a lady who died alone in a council flat in the UK. By the time she found her, her feet and legs had been eaten by her cat.... The social worker who told me said, " She would not have minded at all.."

    I feel the same way, looking at the three well fed cats atop my bed.

    Dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet. Cat's can't.

    So in theory dogs could have a very low impact.

    But we live in Ireland where cattle are grass fed , so our meat and dairy products have low carbon impact. If you want empty calories then cereal has the lowest carbon footprint, but you need protein and other stuff and it turns out that veg may be worse at carbon simply because you need to so much more of the stuff to provide it.

    Also cat's tend to be smaller than dogs. A wolfhound feed on steak will bleed you wallet dry.

    Good luck getting a dog to eat vegetables.

    They love carrots, many of them. Raw. One of my family has five dogs nd has to buy carrots by the sack.

    The art is feeding veg when they are puppies. My dog was not trained to that so will nto touch most veg, Unless doused in gravy!

    Dogs are omnivores... Maybe they would eat us..

    Things my dog doesn't eat:
    Oranges
    Lemon skin
    Banana skin


    In fairness, my dog was trained as an assistance dog.*

    Our grass feed cows may be low CO2 impact but their CH4 output has a huge impact. Modern intensive farming of cereals requires huge input of fertiliser which uses large amounts of energy in production and application. So there are very few low carbon foods for any animal.

    Of course dogs will eat vegetables but will they survive on a vegetable only diet?

    Useless green shower of cnuts.
    Bunch of weed smoking hippies whose aim it is to throw the world back to the middle ages where we will all live in straw lined holes in the ground, heated by our own urine, living on organic tofu whilst agonizing over the patriarchal society whilst doing yoga exercises in carbon neutral hemp outfits and flagellating ourselves because we have the audacity to he born white and privileged. At whatever gender we identitify ourselves at this minute.
    Makes me want to rip out the insulation in my house, heat with raw oil imported directly from Uncle Vlad, eat raw beef only, smoke Marlboro 100's, drink nothing but whisky, buy a V8, a shotgun and vote Trump.
    I had some sympathy for environmental causes, but now I hope the alt right will abolish all environmental measures taken over the last 20 years and start bombing more middle eastern countries for oil.
    And just to annoy them, I will have a patio heater running 24/7.
    It's because of cnuts like that we have the alt right. I have just become a member. We can troll harder. People like that are called "Spiegelwichser" in Germany, someone who will jack off naked to their own reflection in the mirror. Of course using a tweezers and magnifying glass, because we all know green party members have no penis. The men at least. The only way to check if they're male is to look for excessive body hair. If it is present, you have a female. Who will probably try to have you arrested for "thought violence", because you're looking at her. I'd rather a yeti. Less hair.

    Had to laugh when I read this....
    A KILDARE SCIENTIST studying the Antarctic says a huge crack in an ice shelf is about to create an iceberg the size of Mayo.
    Earlier this week, Dr Martin O’Leary and his team at the UK’s Project Midas received data showing a deepening and widening of a large fissure in the Larsen C ice shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula.
    The ice shelf is the most northerly outlying feature of the Antarctic ice sheet, which has seen record low levels of sea ice this winter.

    http://www.thejournal.ie/antarctic-iceberg-3172746-Jan2017/

    But it's Summer in the southern hemisphere! All of this crap is an excuse to extract money out of people. The biggest scam of all time.. ''but scientists say'' they will say whatever the people who fund them would like to hear.
