If they won’t euthanize Fluffy and Scruffy to save the planet from imminent doom, then I don’t need to hear another word from them about my carbon footprint. They should be forced to surrender their pets, just like they want me to surrender my gas-powered SUV. While we are increasingly aware of how our diets affect the planet, Winters argues that we view our pets separately.īut to answer the question posed in the Guardian headline, “Is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” I will never surrender my pets, of course, but for the zealots who won’t leave me alone about their climate religion, yes it is time. Naturally, according to these people, pet ownership is also helping to accelerate the climate apocalypse. If pets had more autonomy, he says, “they would not necessarily have this unconditional love”. We are asking animals to fill a very human need, says Vettese: “People are looking for unconditional love.” But that love “is predicated on this absolute domination of the pet’s life – what they eat, their sexuality, their love, their activity – and you can’t disentangle these two things”. “The case against pets: is it time to give up our cats and dogs?” Ī person described as an “environmental historian” is quoted as likening pet ownership to buying love, and that’s problematic of course. Since the left seeks to ban everything in life that makes living enjoyable, it was inevitable that they’d come for our pets too. THE MORNING RANT: Buck Shots -Buck Throckmorton
