Food waste responsible for 10% of global emissions?

I understand where you're coming from but if you're going to make people choose between their pets and climate change, you may not like the answer. My initial reaction was a snarky "why stop there, let's get rid of zoos and maybe even wild animals too"

- "get rid of zoos" this one would really make sense, seriously it's so bad to retain wild animals in captivity for human entertainments, even if they are treated well

- wild animals contribute to their local ecosystem, they are "useful" to the environment.

How are you drawing this moral distinction? People find visiting zoos "useful" for education and promoting habitat conservation.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your conclusion, I just don't see how you got there.

People already advocate with seemingly straight faces that you shouldn’t have children because of climate change.
