Obdi’s statement was that environmentalists who own pets are hypocrites. Period. We can move the goalposts as desired but that was the statement I was responding to.

No, not period. I also said that I don’t consider hypocrisy to be this giant black and white deal that some people do, where if you’re a hypocrite at all you’re a terrible person.

I do think that many environmentalists have a shallow and hypocritical approach to environmentalism.

And I’m not denying that pets have benefits for their owners. That’s a large part of my point. They’re ‘for’ us, and they should be included in any calculation of our resource usage, along with everything else we consume.
