In news that will certainly stir the pot between cat and dog lovers, a study released by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale claims that dogs are one of the worst eco offenders, surpassing the environmental damage of SUVs.
The study estimates that a medium sized dog equates to an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares, twice that of the footprint left by an SUV driven 10,000 kilometers a year. Cats fare much better, with an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares. But unfortunately, they don't fetch sticks are are twice as likely to save themselves while allowing you to perish in a barn fire.
I was a bit dubious about the "credentials" of the study authors, so I did a bit of Google sleuthing and, sure enough, found that the study was underwritten by none other than....Mr. Tinkles.

GG--Don't let the fact that there are not many comments to this post fool you; it is pure genius. I wish there were a laugh track for this blog.
I was going to comment earlier. Now, thanks to CW's comment about not many comments, anything positive I say will sound like a pity post.
Sorry he screwed it all up for you.
Seriously, you crack me up. Thank God you and that guy Mudge are here to bring some life to this blog (and Robert Thorn and Sally to bring the intellect). I doubt CW would have anywhere near the readership (or Google Ad proceeds) if it weren't for you four.
