What is this plea doing in a blog mostly concerned with environmental issues?
Well, there's the environmental cost of breeding ever more animals. There's also the issue of supporting breeders and pet stores that don't give enough attention to the welfare of the animals.
You could look for an animal at the ASPCA or at Petfinder. Or just go to your local animal shelter.
And once you have your new pet, consider environmentally friendly food and other products.
Thanks.

Last night I had the strangest dream I've ever had before: I dreamed the world had all agreed to put an end to war.

When feminism does not explicitly oppose racism, and when antiracism does not incorporate opposition to patriarchy, race and gender politics often end up being antagonistic to each other and both interests lose.
