Straying too far? Professor says dogs and cats harm climate, advises hamsters instead

By Valerie Richardson - The Washington Times - Tuesday, August 8, 2017

A UCLA professor who recommended replacing dogs and cats with more climate-friendly pets in the name of global warming may have bitten off more than he can chew.

His study, which found that dogs and cats have a significant impact on carbon emissions as a result of their meat-based diets, met with howls from pet owners and a lukewarm reception even from some environmentalists who also happen to love dogs.

He is absolutely correct about cats.  Not about dogs though. :P
