And Vox’s subhead:

From the meat-based meals to kitty litter to plastic poop bags, pet care is unarguably bad for the environment. What can we do about it?

Liberal explainer journalists literally want you feel bad about everything. https://t.co/78WmS792G2

Mind you, they’re telling you how to reduce the footprint of your dog or cat with things like using sawdust instead of kitty litter and — we’re serious here — turning your dog into a vegetarian and they don’t even touch on what other animal to switch to:

It's actually really really funny that this piece does not end with any specific recommendation of what this "other animal" should be

Like what ballpark are we thinking here, we talking alpaca, potbellied pig, hamster, goldfish, lizard https://t.co/5EnBPkRoDB

If every American did exactly what Vox said in this article, would it even make a measurable difference?
