This would be a great strategy with an election season around the corner. No really!

In the US, studies have found that deer, foxes and bobcats were less active in or avoid wilderness areas where dogs were allowed, while other research shows that insecticides from flea and tick medications kill aquatic invertebrates when they wash off into waterways. Dog feces can also leave scent traces and affect soil chemistry and plant growth.

The carbon footprint of pets is also significant. A 2020 study found the dry pet food industry had an environmental footprint of around twice the land area of the UK, with greenhouse gas emissions—56 to 151 Mt CO2— equivalent to the 60th highest-emitting country.

Seriously, dogs are polluting the earth. Don’t believe your lying eyes and ears since any assertions others are from shills anyway. That goes for you too, childless cat ladies. I mean, it’s not like it hasn’t been tried before.

This author’s take on environmentalists has aged very well.

Another recent example.

But please do come after people’s dogs. It would be a winning strategy for sure.
