Often when I'm trimming meat or scraping plates or when edibility does not meet creativity, I look out of the corner of my eye and miss the canine dustbin always at my side. The cats were more picky. We have no fourlegged recyclers any more.
Is a dog an eco-friendly way of disposing of food scraps/ waste - or not?
Depends what you do with the scraps after the dog has finished digesting them but generally not. Food waste goes to the waste to energy plant here but I'm not sure what they do with the mountains of dog crap.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I had 2 dogs 40 years ago, that were fed on completely veggi kibble. My 2 this morning had peas,carots and spuds, with their bit of kibble. Aparently hair that gets naturally greasy after 4 days is "normal" hair, now using a shampoo bar, checked no mention of palm oil, and loving it.
Given the millions of animals raised in near factory like conditions to be slaughtered and made into pet food: I'd say NO.
Don't forget all the tuna that's being fed to cats. That's going to be a tough conversation to have with future generations when tuna have been driven to their inevitable extinction.

A friend's labrador was clearly eco-friendly before it became fashionable. They were farmers and had arranged a shoot, with everybody going back to their house for a meal at the end. The beef joint was taken out of the oven and stood to rest for a while. When they came to serve dinner there was an empty roasting tin and a missing dog!
Don't get one @Nanny Beach you will just be taunted with goodies just out of reach! I just want to go somewhere, anywhere. If this horrible weather improves I may be driven to pump up the tyres on my bike and make a break for freedom........

Not only am I stuck at home but now the only local bus has been cancelled, again! Even if I was allowed out I have very few options for travel.
