In the book Time to Eat the Dog:The Real Guide to Sustainable(可持续性) Living,New Zealand-based architects Robert and Brenda Vale say keeping a medium-sized dog has the same ecological impact as driving 10,000 km a year in a 4.6 liter limousine.Calculating that modern house pet consumes through about 164 kg of meat and 95 kg of cereals a year,the Vales estimated the ecological footprint of cats and dogs,based on the amount of land needed to grow pet food.
“There are no recipes in the book,” Robert Vale said,laughingly,in a telephone interview.“We’re not actually saying it is time to eat the dog.We’re just saying that we need to think about and know the ecological impact of some of the things we do and that we take for granted.” With pets’ diets under the control of owners,how can their unsustainable appetites be cut down?Changing their diets into vegetarian ones,the Vales say.
在"是吃狗的时候了"书中提到:真正的可持续发展生活指南,新西兰的建筑师罗伯特和布伦达×韦尔说,从生态影响角度来看,维持一个中等大小的狗,和开着4.6升的轿车每年跑1万公里的效果是一样的.通过计算,现代居家宠物大概一年要消耗约164公斤肉和95公斤的谷物,韦尔夫妇估算了猫与狗的生态足迹,考虑到为种植这些宠物食料所需的土地.
“书中没有附带食谱,”罗伯特×韦尔说,在接受电话采访时笑着.“我们其实不是在说现在就该把狗吃了.我们只是说,对于那些我们认为是理所当然的事情,我们也需要思考并知道一些它们所带来的生态影响.如果主人引导宠物控制饮食的话,如何削减它们不可持续的胃口呢?改为素食即可,韦尔夫妇说.
