The incredible rise in the popularity of pets, like so much else in our consumer-driven world, comes with little consciousness of the associated&nbsp;environment impacts. We could add to this the moral impact too, where in the UK it is estimated that over 100 million livestock animals are killed to make&nbsp;pet food. How is it defensible to love our dogs so much, yet care so little for over sentient beings - not to mention our planet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3.
