Animals and Climate Change

After reading the current number of Fluter, a German youth magazine on political topics, I am seriously thinking about becoming a vegetarian, or at least reducing my intake of meat and dairy products.
Up to now I was not aware of the enormous amount of CO2 and other climate killers such as methane produced by cows and other domestic animals. In one of the articles it says that the problem of the future will not be the nine billion people on earth but the still larger number of cows, pigs, etc. to feed them as more and more people switch to meat-eating as they become richter... I never especially liked dogs; now there is another reason not to have one as a German shepherd, for example, during a year produces about half the amount of carbondioxide of a European human being.

I am not sure this entry is good English but I am getting out of practice with Catalan provincial journalism...
