Should we reconsider pet ownership completely?

Hi everyone,

Would love to get your feedback on this petition. I know it's pretty extreme, but should we be more concerned about the future of pet ownership, especially in relation to animal welfare and climate change?

Just as it appears that animal rights are more respected than ever - that fewer animals are subject to the whims, appetites and bloody amusement of humans - pet ownership is undergoing exponential growth.

With a scaling market for animal ownership in the home, what questions should we be asking of this burgeoning industry? What is its effect on the climate? What is its impact on the lives of animals who, behind front doors, live under the thumb of human masters.

Would love feedback on this petition, focusing on increasing the debate around pets: their impact on the climate and our impact on pets' own welfare: https://change.org/pets-and-climate-change

Thanks!
