The best pets are ones that eat grass and weeds like tortoises and rabbits. They have zero carbon footprints as long as you live near fallow fields. A healthy ecosystem has far more herbivores than carnivores, but humans have killed all the wild herbivores and filled the wilds with domestic carnivores.
