have to get rid of all of the dogs. Apparently
they're villains, environmental villains. Apparently they are bad for Guya Earth.
Dogs are bad for the planet. The headline from mother
Jones dot com, leftist rag bad News for Man's Best Friend.
Dogs are environmental villains. Sorry, there I go. Okay now,
the story was originally published by the Guardian. Mother Jones
was just republishing it. But regardless, this is the this
there's there are studies. There's research now, uh huh that
dogs have extensive and multifarious I've never heard of that
word before. Multifarious. Would that be like nefarious in many ways?
Wouldn't that still just be nefarious? But whatever, extensive and
multi fairyo, I'm gonna try to work that into more sentences.
I'm just gonna be dropping multifarious here and there, extensive
and multifarious environmental impacts dogs do. They disturb wildlife, they
pollute waterways. Okay, oh you know what, Oh, now it
makes sense. The other day I saw a cocker spaniel
dumping the whole bunch of plastic straws in the stream,
and I was like, what is the why is that
dog doing that? That's so weird. Now it makes sense.
Polluting the waterways and like harming the sea turtles obviously.
Also they apparently contribute to carbon emissions dogs do. So look,
it's science. An Australian review that is not a dog breed,
by the way. That is a review out of Australia
of existing studies. So they didn't even do their own studies.
They looked at all of these other studies. So it's
sort of a meta analysis, if you will. A study
of studies. A review of the studies has argued that
the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious,
and more concerning than is generally recognized. The author of
the research goes, but the name is cat Feleine I
think is the No, I'm kidding, it's actually Professor Bill
Bateman of Kurtin University. The environmental impact of owned dogs
is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is
generally recognized. Okay, all right, so what about if we
were all to just like release the dogs from captivity? Right,
you are no longer allowed to own a dog, and
so now all of the dogs, well, I mean those
that don't just like keep hanging around the house. You know,
they're going to come back to the house because they
love you and they want to sleep on the bed
and all of that. But I'm like, if you just
like kick them out of the house, you can't live
here anymore. All the dogs are out, no more owned
owned dogs. Owned dogs are now not good for the planet.
So they are out. So they are on the street.
And do you think then that they may be disturbing
more wildlife when they're out on the street. I think
they do. Just all things being equal, I'm thinking a
dog out on the street is probably gonna be eating
way more squirrels than a dog that only gets to
be out in the backyard for a couple hours a day.
I just think they got a lot more you know, opportunity,
have way more opportunity. They're gonna you know, have more
interactions with squirrels at first, at first, because then eventually, yes,
they kill all the squirrels and then there are no
more squirrels. Then they're gonna have to move up the
bigger game and eventually they will have depleted that source.
Then they'll have to move up to another game, and
then they will finally come for us, which I kind
of feel like is what these environmentalists are always angling for,
because that is really the the only way to preserve
the planet in its pristine state, which is completely untamed,
unmanaged and wild. Right, that's what mother nature is, that's
what the environment is. The only way to preserve that
is to eliminate all of the billions of people on
the planet. That's it, which I think is there. I
think that's the end goal here for a lot of
these people. Apparently the environmental impact of cats is very
well known because by cats, cats you want to talk
about murdering some stuff. Cats are murderous and for no
reason either. They're like the only animal that hunts just
for kicks, Like, no, they're not hunting for shoes. No,
I'm saying they go out and they just take pleasure
in the hunt. They just do it because it's fun
to do. And that's apparently also, by the way, why
they get on you at like, you know, five am,
five point thirty am. That's why they jump on the
bed and start like messing with you before you got
to wake up, because that's prime hunting time and they're like, dude,
let's go hunting. You're gonna miss out on the hunt.
That's why they do that. So we apparently have done
lots of research on the cats, and so now the
cats are fighting back. They probably funded this research against
the dogs. The review was published, believe it or not,
in a publication called Pacific Conservation Biology, and it highlighted
the impacts of the world's commonest large carnivore in killing
and disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds. Shore birds as
opposed to the unsuore birds they're not very confident in
much In Australia. Attacks by unrestrained dogs on little penguins
in Tasmania may contribute to colony collapse according to computer modeling,
and that's never steered us wrong. Before a study of
animals taken to the Australian Zoo Wildlife Hospital found that
mortality was highest after dog attacks, which was the second
most common reason for admission to the hospital. You know,
the number one reason why these cute little Tasmanian penguins
and others, I guess number one reason they end up
in the hospital they get hit by cars. Look, if
you're a wild animal and your number one predator is
a Chevy and your number two is a dog that
broke its leash or something, I think you're doing okay
out in the wild. Seriously, Like the wild is a
pretty tough place. And if those are your biggest your
biggest predators that you have to worry about, I'm thinking
you don't do like the crows do. They've learned. And
pigeons too, they've learned how not to get hit by
cars all the time, and they live in the city,
so maybe, I don't know, Like eventually they these penguins
will learn, and if they can't learn, I don't know,
put up a fence along the road trying to save
these guys. But then, of course, then the car strikes
as the leading cause of death, that'll go down, and
then the dogs will go up because the dogs can
probably jump the fences or something, and then they will
you know, they'll be they'll be labeled as like the
number one reason why the animals get attacked or come
into the hospital, and then like then the pressure campaign
will really ramp up against the dogs in the This
is you know what this is like. It's like a
monkey with a calculator. That's what this reminds me of.
It's like, we have all this data, and we could
do all of this stuff with the data, but they
don't know what they're looking at. They don't understand. There's
like drawing conclusions. Well, we looked at the number of
wildlife that have been taken into a particular hospital, and
while most of them were hit by cars, the number
two reason was dogs. So therefore dogs are terrible for
the environment. Dude, dogs are the equivalent of the penguin
that it attacked. They're both animals. They're on the same level.
If the person wasn't putting a roof over that dog's head,
that dog would be out on that short line, way
more killing, way more penguins. What are you guys even
doing that down there down Under in Australia? What do
you even why are you doing this? Do you want
people to hate you? I think so? All right, if
you're listening to this show, you know I try to
keep up with all sorts of current events, and I
know you do too. And you've probably heard me say
get your news from multiple sources. Well, because it's how
you detect media bias, which is why I've been so
impressed with ground News. It's an app, and it's a website,
and it combines news from around the world in one
place so you can compare coverage and verify information. You
can check it out at check dot ground, dot news,
slash pete. I put the link in the podcast description too.
I started using ground News a few months ago and
more recently chose to work with them as an affiliate
because it lets me see clearly how stories get covered
and by whom. The blind spot feature shows you which
stories get ignored by the left and the right. See
for yourself. Check dot ground, dot news, slash pete. Subscribe

I use the Vantage plan to get unlimited access to

but it also supports ground news as they make the
media landscape more transparent. Susan says, as a dog owner
many of many dogs for many years, the government or
some kind of crazy organization can get my dog when
they pry her leash out of my well, you know
the rest, right, Yeah, Well that's the thing too about
dogs is if they do show up to take your
dogs and you resist them, the dog sense that, right,
they're going to key off of your emotion and they're
going to aid in your fight. But downside, we already
have a registry of the dogs, so they're going to
know exactly who is the dog owner, you know in
like cities like Charlotte where you have to register your dogs,
and so now they're going to have a list to
come confiscate your dog. The review of these other studies
was done published rather in Pacific Conservation Biology, and so
they looked at a lot of the stuff in these
studies that were done in Australia. And I did see
somebody ask a question here, Jonathan said, wait a minute,
this is Australia. Is it owned dogs or dingoes causing
the problem. That is a very good question, Jonathan. I
don't even know the difference between a dingo and a dog.
I think dingoes are basically dogs that haven't been domesticated, right,
They look very similar, I think, And so is it
are the dogs? Are the dogs being blamed for the
sins of the dingoes? That's not cool? Like the cats
blaming the dogs for all of the stuff you know
that goes wrong in the house. Like, that's not cool either.
Jonathan also points out that I have ignored the dog's
disgusting habit of gambling illegally. There are infamous there's an
infamous painting of them in the act. That's true. That's true.
I forgot about that. We have we have, you know,
visual evidence, and they're smoking. That's an environmental no no too.
In the United States, studies have found that deer foxes
and bobcats were less active in or avoid wilderness areas
where dogs were allowed. Okay, so I'm failing to see
the problem here. So if I've got the dog, I'm
less likely to have deer foxes and bobcats. Okay, I'm
not sure that's true. Okay, because in my neighborhood there
are people posting all the time on the Facebook group
about their dogs have gone missing, and people spotting foxes
and coyotes and stuff in the area, and it seems
like they're being it seems like the dogs are getting targeted,
you know, So I'm not so sure about that. So
I don't think I want a bobcat around my property.
Oh yeah, yeah, I know coexist and all of that,
but they don't recognize property lines, you know. And my
HOA doesn't allow me to put up a fence except
one of those ones with the slots in it, or
the slats rather, and so they can just walk right
through them. That's not much protection at all. I don't
want bobcats at my back door, that's me. I don't
want a rabid fox, you know, under my car. No, hey, guys,
priorities here. Other research shows that, get this one. This
was amazing to me. I had no idea. You probably
have not either. Research shows that insecticides. I know you're thinking, like,
how does this tie in with dogs. Insecticides from flea
and tick medications kill aquatic invertebrates when they wash off
into waterways. Well, how are you even tracking that? First off?
How are you tracking a like what a flea collar?
That's what we're talking about here. The drops go on
their necks and then it absorbs into the body. So
what are they peeing it out? And they're peeing it
into the waterway or something? How many dogs peeing into
waterways are we talking about here? Most dogs I see
and have had, they pee on grass. They don't go
into the water to pee. They pee on the grass,
so then it filters through the grass, in which case
then I got questions for the grass. What are you
even doing over there? Grass? You're just laying there. Your
main job besides looking good, is well and also to
you know, foment the growth of weeds. Your job is
to filter the rain water that hits you before it
gets to the waterways. That's why we pay all of
the taxes here. If you try to pave over the grass,
then you got to pay more taxes because grass is better.
But if grass isn't even doing its job enough to
filter out you'rein from all of the dogs. I don't
even understand how you would track that let alone. I
don't believe the results. I do not believe these results.
Somebody actually said, hey, let's find out how much flea
and tick collar meds are getting into the waterways, and
then they devised a method to determine that I don't
buy it. I'm just not buying it. I think they
probably got the same kind of medications and they just
dumped a bunch of it into some waterway and it
killed a bunch of stuff, and they're like, oh, yeah,
look at that. It can kill them. Well, yes, it
probably could kill them. It's like the what was it,
the famous study where they gave the rats all of
the sweet and low or something like, look at that
kill the rats? You know? Well, yeah, you gave them
like seventeen billion times the lifetime dosage in a single hit.
I'm pretty sure anything in that amount is going to
kill somebody. And what's more, dog poop it can leave
scent traces and affect soil chemistry and plant growth. I
guess in a bad way because I always thought the
poop would help with the with the growth of the
like the lawns and stuff. Pee no, no, pe will
kill the lawns. But poop. I understood poop is a
good thing, didn't. The indigenous peoples put the poop in
the crops and make them grow, and then taught the
stupid pilgrims how to farm with the poop technique. Didn't
they do that? This is so confusing, And don't even
get me started now on the pet food. Oh my gosh,
that really increases the carbon paw print. Here here's a
great idea. How about making an escape to a really
special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a
quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is
your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe
you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get family

Wi Fi grills, outdoor tables, and your own private covered porch.
Choose from thirteen cabins, six cottages, two villas, and a
great lodge with eleven king sized bedrooms. Cabins of Ashville
has the ideal spot for you for any occasion, and
they have pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two
eight three six seven seventy sixty eight or check out
all there is to offer at Cabinsofashville dot com and
make memories that'll last a lifetime. I kind of feel
like the left has jumped the shark because they keep
trying to take the most unpopular positions on stuff recently.
Have you noticed this, Like we're gonna take your kids.
Dogs are bad? Like what are you guys doing? It's
the lefties can never go too far and this is
the result of it. A story published at The Guardian
reproduced at mother Jones dot com as part of the
Climate Desk collaboration. Let mean, just think about this. Somebody
not only did somebody have to do the research and
then submit this paper to the Pacific Conservation Biology Magazine
or whatever. Somebody then had to review it and say yeah,
let's publish that. They publish it, and then you've got
the guard reporter and editors who see this study and say, yeah,
let's do a story on that, and then Mother Jones
follow suit and that's how and then I'm downstream of them,
except they're reporting it as if like, oh, you know,
it's just very bad for the earth. All of these
domesticated dogs just pooping and peeing everywhere and chasing birds down,
and then you realize they eat. It's true, dogs eat.
The carbon footprint of pets is significant. A twenty twenty
study found again, here's another one. Someone did a study
on this found that the dry pet food industry had
an environmental footprint of around twice the land area of
the UK, which makes sense because I think that they've
basically de industrialized by this point, so there really isn't
a whole lot of emissions going on over there. I
think it's also not very big anymore. I mean it
used to be very big, right, that whole empire going,
but not anymore. But the entire dry pet food industry
has an environmental footprint of twice the land area of
the UK. So what we're converting emissions into land miss
that that does not seem to me to be a
one for one. I don't know, a conversion, you know,
that's are you saying that all of the UK's footprint
doubled is the size of all of the footprint of
however many pet food producers there are, I guess in
the world. Okay, now do a fact farm, Now do
some factory farm. Oh my gosh, I just realized dogs
do eat They eat meat too. Oh dang it. That's
probably what drives their score up or down, depending on
what's the negative there, Jay says Pete, I have not
registered my dogs the thirty years I have lived in Charlotte. Oh. Sorry,
I should not have said that on the air. One
of my dogs was killed by a buck during the
rut on Thanksgiving twenty twelve. I'm sorry to hear that.
So here's one of the things though, and I don't
want to get too graphic about it, but I'll tell
you the story. A couple of months back. Well, I
guess about a year ago, we had somebody in the
neighborhood and they had a deer die on their fence
because the deer tried to jump over the fence and
the fence had those little spiky things on the top,
you know, to prevent or kill teenagers from jumping over
the fence. But a deer jumped over and landed on it,
impaled itself and died. Side story. There is a very
few organizations and agencies will come out and remove that carcass. Yeah,
it was a whole thing on the Facebook group too.
It also no more spikes on the fences, so that
HOA rules went into effect. There just the flat top fences,
so if the deer does misjudge and they land on it,
they won't die. One more reason then to put a
dog in the yard and the deer won't try to
jump through your fence, right, seems like that would be
like are we giving enough credit? Like you got to
look at both sides of the ledger here, right, If
a dog's mere presence in your yard is going to
keep the deer away, and you're like, oh my gosh,
that's a negative environmental impact. Yeah, but maybe the dog's
presence kept the deer away from you know, the murderous fence,
and so that's a net positive for the deer. Right now,
there are some other benefits that the researchers do point to,
like you know, the effect on the owner's mental and
physical health. Right, people will probably go out and like
they love their dogs, emotional support dogs and all dogs like,
they love their dogs, they enjoy having them around. They
bring them joy and laughter and stuff. Not to mention,
I mean there's a whole like TikTok genre of dog
videos and stuff. I mean, you just be putting all
those people out of work. People will probably go out
and really enjoy the environment around them too. Right, So
you go walking with your dog, if you don't have
a dog, you're probably not walking as much as you're
walking with the dog, right you know, no, no, no,
I totally would walk by the dog. No, you have
a fenced in yard, you're opening the door, you're letting
the dog go outside, and you're closing the door, and
you're going back to the game, like that's what's happening there.
But if you don't have a f you got to
walk that dog. And if you don't have a dog
at all, right, you're not going for those walks. And
they say, like, look, if you're going out into nature
and you're walking around with the dog, maybe you become
more protective of the environment. See, So there are some
benefits also the companionship of the dog. Right. Sometimes in
some people's cases, it's literally the only reason they have
to get out of bed in the morning. They got
some thing that's depending on them and they love it,
and so that's otherwise they would just be like too
depressed PTSD whatever. They're like, I'm not doing it. In
this review, the researchers attributed the extent of the environmental
impacts to the sheer number of dogs globally, as well
as the quote lax or uninformed behavior of dog owners. Okay,
I'm on board with this. Now that is true. Okay,
this part is true. It's never This is what the
dog whisperer. If you've never seen an episode, I'm going
to tell you the whole every episode it ends the
same way. Okay, it's the owner's fault every single time.
If your dog is misbehaving, it's your fault. Okay, the
dog owners are the problem. The dogs are just pack animals.
They're gonna do whatever you tell them to do and
want them to do because you're the pack leader. But
if you don't assume the role as pack leader, they're
going to try to be pack leader and they don't
know how to lead a pack of humans. We don't
know how to lead packs of humans. Why do you
think the dog is going to know that. So that's
always the end result that the dog owner stinks. Okay,
So if you want to attribute all of this to
the uninformed behavior of dog owners, I am with you there,
because the biggest problem I have with dogs is their owners. Really,
it really is a simple way to mitigate against the
worst impacts was to keep dogs leashed in areas where
restrictions apply, and to maintain a buffer distance from nesting
or roosting shore birds. And they say, maybe some dog
exclusion zones, maybe a suitable for some areas, sustainable dog
food production maybe if nothing else, they say, pick up
your own dog poop. Yes, please, for the love of me,
pick up your dog poop. I'm tired of seeing the
nasty comments and the pictures of people's dog poop on
the sidewalks in my HOA Facebook group. I don't understand
why people take these pictures. I do not, but they do,
and they post it. Look all what eyes pick up
after your dough? Like, just stop it. I don't want
to see dog poop on my Facebook feed, oh owners? Man? Alright,

A couple of messages. This is from Jan who says
you don't want to see dog poop on your Facebook feed,
but you avidly follow politics. There is a disconnect here.
I don't quite get what's more of a visual thing,
I think, And I got some tweets here. These are
Pete tweets at Pete Calener. Melissa says, get up and
open the door, let the dog out. Police the dog
opens the door anytime he likes, with an electronic collar
and a high tech automatic pet door, Get up, you're funny.
And then she got a picture here of that's pretty cool. See,
that's the problem we had. We had it. Christy and
I bought our house years ago and it had a
dog door in the back door, but we didn't have
any dogs. We did have cats, and they loved it
after they figured it out, which occurred after they weren't
terrified of it anymore. But once they got through it
and they realized how to get through it, they loved it.
And they went in and out all the time, and
they would bring us all sorts of presents, lots of shrews, voles,
a bird. Well, to be fair, we never got the bird.
We just saw the blood and feathers all around the
dining room one time and that was it. I don't
know what happened. We never found the birds. I don't
know by the way, shrews nasty. Oh gosh, those things
are nasty. One time one of the cats brought in
a vole, yeah, a big no sorry, a mole, an
actual mole. Those things are hideous, Oh my gosh, especially
in the middle of the night when you're bleary eyed
and you're like, what's that running across the top of
my head? That's that is a terrifying experience. But they
did save Christy once from a cockroach, which they also
brought in but then released, because that's kind of their jam.
I don't know if you're aware of this about cats,
but they they like to bring it in and then
drop it and it's not dead. Oh and they murdered
tons of lizards. But anyway, we had a cat door
and they loved going in and out. I have not
seen the automatic one. We had the flap, just the
plastic flap on it, you know. And little known fact
about those doors, other animals can use them to enter
as well, so it's not one way. So and one
day we ended up with a with another cat under
the bed and it looked like our cat. We thought
it was our cat. Turned out not to be our cat.
It was some neighbor's cat and then had come into
our house. I don't know why and why it made
its way up to the bedroom and took a nap
under our bed, but that's what it did. It's all
a distraction. Tweets was this dog article written by the
Australian version of Taylor Lorenz. It's a good question. It
sounds kind of like it, and Russ, he says, hear
me out. What if instead we get rid of the
Guardian and Mother Jones folks and anybody else who supports
this idea, we'd get the Reduction and Environmental Pact. Plus,
the world is a happier place because we still have
all the dogs, but we don't have these miserable skulds.
It's a win win. I like it. Russ. Yeah, if
your species is facing extinction because you can't avoid cars,
you're kind of self selecting and you don't deserve to continue. Well,
that's why possums are possums. Their life spans only like
two years in the wild. So I do have some
bad news though for these Australian researchers. The bad news
is there is a biotech startup in San Francisco. It's
called loyal, and the company announced that the FDA has
certified a daily pill that it has developed. It's called
Loy Dash two, so very marketable Loyal Lloy two the pill.
The FDA says the pill has a reasonable expectation of
effectiveness in extending the lifespan of senior dogs. The FDA's
Center for Veterinary Medicine must still confirm the drug safety
and the company's ability to manufacture it at scale before
veterinarians can prescribe it to eligible dogs. Australian researcher's hardest hit.
If dogs live longer, they're going to have more environmental
impact and these people are going to go nuts. So
the eligible dogs are ten years or older and weighing
at least fourteen pounds. It's more feasible to do longevity
testing in animals that have a shorter life span than humans.
Of course, this is Henry Miller writing a DC journal.
The problem is the process can still be lengthy and expensive.
Trials of drugs or other interventions to promote longevity are
notoriously difficult. As the classic cartoon illustrated, you know you
got two scientists. They're standing in front of a lab
bench and one of them says that the liquid in
the flask that he is holding, he's holding it up,
and he's like, yeah, may very well bring about immortality,
but it's going to take forever to test it. Yeah,
that's the okay. So the company is conducting trials with
some dogs receiving the actual treatment and others receiving placebo pills,
both beef flavored. A twenty twenty three Pew Research Center
found forty nine percent of American households own at least
one dog, and they all go out to the same
pub and brewery as you do when you do. Ninety
seven percent of pet owners consider their animals to be family.
Fifty one percent not only consider their pets to be
a part of the family, but say they are as
much a part of their family as a human member,
which I think depends on the human members in your family. Well.
The company Loyal hopes to price their treatment under one
hundred dollars per month. Loyal previously received a reasonable Expectation
of Effectiveness certification for another longevity drug that one targets
the large breeds like Great danes, but that treatment requires injections,
and that's expected to take longer to reach the market.
Loyal is not alone in pursuing veterinarian longevity solutions. There
are other biotech firms that are working on pet weight
loss drugs similar to the human drug o zenpic. Okay,
I'm drawing the line on this one, okay, because your
dog only eats what you give it. Once again, that's
a you problem. If you got an obese dog or cat,
that's your fault. That's not the dog or cat's fault.
That's your fault. You shouldn't be injecting your dog with
ozen pic because you can't stop feeding your own dog.
Like that's stupid. But then again, we live in very
stupid times, so I expect it that'll probably be on
the market like asap, that one will, Yeah, and it'll
probably cost a ton of money. And then you've got
another competitor, right, You're gonna have more competition for these drugs,
