#1 Just getting people used to the idea of doing insane things for the cause of global warming. I'd say it's coming along nicely if they're suggesting treating man's best friend as livestock.

#2 Pit bulls and Rottweilers don't go down so easily.

#3 Most mammals share a gene called FOX2P, but only humans have a mutation of the gene that greatly enhances the ability to talk. When this gene was transplanted into mice, they became very "chatty" and their vocal range increased considerably.

This gene needs to be put into dogs. It is believed that smarter dogs can understand as many as 300 human words, and if dogs could express even a dozen words, not only would those dogs be worth a fortune, but anti-dog eco-nuts might as well propose killing autistic children.

Seriously, right now, there are lots of dog owners who would kill someone who tried to kill their dog, in a bloody eyed rage. If dogs could speak, even a little bit, lots of dog owners would go to war against eco-nuts if they threatened their dogs.

#4 I'm surprised these idiots didn't advocate eating their fellow humans since the carbon footprint is large. We got a bunch of eco-morons running around on this planet.

#5 Sounds like JohnQC is saying the canabilism is green. I believe he's right, given the insane, make-them-up-as-you-go-along rules those folks go by. Eat your mama. Eat your papa. Eat all your other littlr nestlings. Then submit to the knife and fork of some other Greenie. Sure would take care of the population problem. And I promise not to miss you a bit. How's that for following the rules?

#13 If carbon dioxide emissions are the problem, why do these people continue to breathe?

Well, I like most people much less than I like my dogs, so you can put me down for that.

#15 (thought problem)
If you had a dog that could appropriately use a dozen words, what would those words be?

My guesses: yes, no, come, go, pain, hungry, thirsty, fear, alert, love, happy, help.

It would be super cool if they could say family names.

#16 SO...... if land can really generate that much energy, and it takes that much land to feed a dog or cat...

I can feed two cats for eight dollars a _week_.

Why the big cost disparity?
