ANIMAL VS. HUMAN RESOURCES

Millions of healthy dogs euthanized but illegal migrants who rob, rape and kill us are welcomed and supported.

Welcoming law-breakers is the epitome of stupidity! No yard-dog or barnyard bull would tolerate such a takeover! Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s pick for Health Secretary, is a perfect example of understanding animals and protecting the environment.

In fact, along with a love of falconry and dogs, he once adopted a bear cub! So, we can be sure that Kennedy and other insightful leaders understand why animals and plants are critical indicators of world health.

Some "leaders" are so misinformed it would be laughable were it not so scary! One big-city politician stated that “agriculture generates one-fourth of the greenhouse gases that heat up the planet.” He must'a skipped science class. Plants make oxygen, not gas... The problem is that oxygen only comes from plants, i.e. earths vast forests. At the world-wide pace of clearing land for building construction, scientists warn that half of our forests will be gone by 2050. I hear you thinking "Sooo?"

Without intervention, humans and animals are doomed to suffer from too much concrete and not enough trees. Look around your city. There is already a serious problem of too much waste and not enough room for landfills.

Add to that, the fact that landfills are running over and seeping substances into our water systems that do a lot more than pollute. Dangerous chemicals and drugs are a serious problem. Just this year California's Chiquita Canyon Landfill, a 639-acre facility, was cited as an "elevated temperature landfill" (ETLF), with temperatures exceeding set safety standards.

The landfill is releasing benzene and carbon monoxide, causing neighbors to report sicknesses, including cancer clusters. The landfill (dump) has been identified as an "elevated temperature landfill" (ETLF), with temperatures exceeding safety standards and affecting roughly 90 acres. It is also releasing benzene and carbon monoxide, causing neighbors to have nausea, headaches and cancer clusters.

Think a minute… America is building... thus there are fewer plants that live long enough to keep things in balance. Agricultural is also reduced by our demand for more roads, buildings and factories, all of which demand space and pollute the air. You got it. All that “growth” (and concrete) depletes the number of oxygen-producing trees and plants.

And there's this. Predictions are that by 2050, even by importing more food, we will find it difficult to feed nearly 10 billion people. Plus, importing so much of what we eat puts us at high political risk. We rejoice over medical advances which extend human life but that is a catch-22 if we can't breath.

The simple fact is that mammals breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide (CO2) so there must be more plants than people or we die.

You get it. If we continue to destroy farmland and forests while increasing the number of air-breathing mammals, the critical balance is destroyed.

Sure, we can import food from less developed countries but we can't import clean air... www.TheDogPress.com hopes we have a solution because when people and animals outnumber plants, we better hope Elon Musk can space-ship us out’a here!
