We have big box stores for pets.

We have semi trucks burning diesel to bring pet food and pet supplies to all parts of the world.

We devote some amount of farm land and livestock to feeding those pets.

It’s interesting when people suggest to reduce global human population but I have never heard anyone suggest to reduce pet populations as a method for combating climate change or for simply reducing resource usage.

The worldwide dog population is estimated to be 900 million.

There are 600 million to 1 billion cats living in the world today.

    This is a valid unpopular opinion too, you could have made your own post.

    I’m against it though because I think it would be worth adapting to a simpler lifestyle if everyone agreed to ditch the idea of profit and infinite growth and focused on the problem at hand.

    People could even keep their pets lol.
