Mother Jones republished a post Saturday from the Guardian companion publication that argued that while dogs may be men’s best friends, they were Mother Nature’s “villains.”
The Left magazine highlighted new research originally published by The Guardian, concluding that dogs have “widespread and diverse” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluted waterways and promote carbon emissions. It points out how dog breeds disturb native wildlife, especially coastal birds.
Reviews of existing studies published in Australia on Pacific Conservation Biology analyzed dog attacks on other animals and found that it might explain the collapse of the colony of small penguins in Tasmania, while studies of animals at the Australian Animal Wildlife Hospital found that the mortality rate was the highest after dog attack.

In the United States, the report continues, and studies have found that deer, foxes and bobcats are less active or avoided in wilderness areas where dogs are allowed. Other Intel shows that pesticides kill aquatic invertebrates when drugs from fleas and ticks are rushing into the waterway. Meanwhile, dog feces can leave odor marks and affect soil chemistry and plant growth.
The study says the canine’s carbon footprint is also “important”.
A 2020 study found that the dry pet food industry has an environmental footprint of about twice the UK’s land area, with greenhouse gas emissions comparable to those of the 60th highest country.

The owner of the furry friend is not particularly impressed by the dog’s doom’s dive. They united and tore up the report of Mother Jones, with several users responding with photos of their beloved dogs or wondering if the rival animal wrote it.
“…Does a cat write this?” asked columnist Tim Carney.

Others wonder why liberals are trying to unearth bad things in animals that are generally beloved.
“What is the pleasant part of these incredible killing joys that won’t attack?” The young Turkish hosted the idea of Ana Kasparian.
“The first environmentalists come to be bull, and people say nothing. Now they want to sacrifice dogs to save the planet? Not the victory message of the crowds, and they are known to have bad track record.”
The study shows that one way to suppress the environmental impact of dogs is to “make them free in areas where applicable restriction and maintain the buffer distance of nesting or inhabiting coastal birds.”

According to Mother Jones, the commentator’s lead author and Curtin University’s lead author, Professor Bill Bateman, may be opposed by pet owners, said the study is not to be “reviewed” but to raise awareness of the environmental impact of human best friends.
“Although we’ve pointed out these issues with dogs in the natural environment… there’s another balanced side, that people might go out and enjoy their surroundings, maybe feel more protective about it – because they’re walking dogs there.”
Fox News Digital approached Mother Jones to comment.
