Oddbean new post about login | logout “If US pets were a country, they would rank fifth globally for meat consumption, ahead of Germany.” That’s a hell of a statistic! 😳 https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/sep/13/the-case-against-pets-is-it-time-to-give-up-our-cats-and-dogs
@c09f86d3 I have been thinking something similar for a good while. I really enjoy pets though I don't have any currently - they are just to much work, and I have kids, so being a so called pet parent has a lot less appeal. But yeah, they really do take a lot of resources the way most urban people treat them, and that is a problem/topic that feels very unapproachable.
