A recent article by Terry O’Neill said that, if people really wanted to reduce carbon emissions, they’d take the idea to its natural conclusion and get rid of their pets. Not that O’Neill endorses this – he’s just read about it in a book that claims:

simply feeding an average-sized dog has the eco-footprint of building and fueling a Toyota Land Cruiser. A cat’s eco-paw-print is somewhat less: about the same as a Volkswagen Golf.

(The book is Time to Eat the Dog? The Real Guide to Sustainable Living, by Robert and Brenda Vale, who, as O’Neill says, “may well be under police protection by now, as far as I know”.)

He also mentioned a member of Moms Against Climate Change who owned three “carbon-spewing” pets (two Volkswagens and a Land Cruiser). This woman later wrote to inform him that she doesn’t eat meat, which offsets her pets’ carbon pawprints. Excellent point, but the most important point came from another letter that said we simply can’t judge any creature just by its carbon footprint.

Dogs and cats make a contribution that we’d miss if they were gone. It’s well documented that they’re good for their owners’ health. Dogs sniff out explosives and help the disabled. They and cats both eat meat products that we humans won’t.

(Speaking of meat, which does have a large environmental impact, why don’t we research how much of it goes to waste and thin the herds by that percentage? Sure, farmers will suffer, but they’re used to it!)

Another letter pointed out that horses, once so necessary, have become “redundant” in today’s world – so why not get rid of them, too?
We could go on and on, deciding which animals aren’t worth the damage they supposedly do. But let’s not. We don’t live or die by carbon alone.

Throughout time, horses never have ceased to amaze us with their beauty and mystique.  As a member of the equus (equine) family, horses are related to zebras and donkeys. A long time ago, they would run wild and often were hunted for their meat and skin. It wasn’t until after the year 3000 BC, that horses were tamed and soon used as a method of transportation. In modern times, many people take care of horses and often ride them for recreational purposes.  Whether you’re fascinated by horses, or would like to take care of one (ore more), here are some awesome and useful facts about out favorite members of the equine family.

• Horses actually drink, on average, about 10 gallons of water a day.
• Not only can you feed a horse hay, you also can feed them grass, bran, and oats!
• Horses are herbivores, which means they don’t eat meat.
• Full grown horses are either stallions (male) or mares (female).
• Baby horses are often called foals, but once they reach one year of age, they are called yearlings.
• Colts (male) and fillies (female) are horses between the age of two to four years of age.
• Horses can live up to thirty years of age.
• They have much better vision than people. In fact, they can see two distinct images from each eye.
• Like most animals, horses can understand vocal tones rather than actual words.
• The size of a full-grown horse’s brain is about as big as a potato, but the heart of a horse can weigh 10 pounds!
• There are actually over 350 different types of breeds of horses and ponies.
• Adult horses have a lot of teeth. Mares generally have about 36 teeth, while stallions have close to 40.
