Yet another reason to feed the dog table scraps that would otherwise have gone to the landfill. See, my dogs have a negative carbon footprint. :) They absolutely loved the deer carcasses a few weeks ago.

Good point, we feed or dog table scraps and no longer use canned food, as long as one knows what foods dogs don't tolerate, (onions, chocolate, ect.) it works fine. People forget that before the invention of "dog food" owners just fed the dog table scraps, our cocker spaniel lived to 18 on table scraps with no major issues at all.

Their is nothing natural about a domesticated pet and everyone having one.

And it is what it is. I mean I totally see their point. Just because you love dogs doesn't make it less true. It's just an analysis of data. If you want to do something with it fine, if not then that is fine too. Noting wrong with having more knowledge.

You're asking a lot for ATOT posters to analyze data and put it into different contexts, especially ones that challenge their ill-informed opinions.

And I'd invite them to do so. That way, the craziest ones would be taken out, while the more sane ones would remain.

Although that could be problematic as well, as having crazies on one side helps balance out the crazies on the other side.

Who the hell only drives 6,200 miles a year?
:sneaky:
*raises hand*

I'm pretty well right around there.
~97,000 now, and it had ~35,000 when bought back in 2000.

It got a break in college, as I lived on campus for the first two years, and didn't really need to go anywhere except grocery/miscellaneous shopping trips every 7-14 days, and that was a 10mi round trip.

Makes sense, since pets have a smaller carbon footprint than children.

children are necessary for sustaining population. pets are simply frivolous. needless to say sf is pretty far from replacement rate being a family unfriendly city.

How is SF a family unfriendly city? All the gay men going around raping little children?

Yep, everyone just lives outside of the city and commutes to it for work. And your point? Cost of living is the reason for it being family unfriendly, not your political bs and hate for animals.

considering the smug radiating from that city the very fact that they are unaffordable for families pretty much undermines their hollier than thou claims that everyone should live as they do.
