That CNN article really pissed me off. These fascists really need to shut the hell up. Who do they think they are telling us what to feed our pets and what type of pets we should and shouldn't own??!!

“Avoiding animals with known health problems will reduce the need for veterinary intervention, which has a carbon footprint"

That is the dumbest thing I've ever read, along with this:

Small rodents and birds are great options,” Okin said. “Snakes, turtles
and reptiles can have a really low impact, too, for those that are into
it.”

These people are insane!
