Here's another effect of peak oil: No more dogs.

It takes oil to change food production from 30 bushels per acre to 130 per acre.

Less oil, less food.

No food to feed the cattle.

Meat for human consumption will become rare. There surely won't be enough to waste on dogs.

or cats.

'course dogs and cats will be useful for awhile.

As food.

Yum yum. So every SUV mile has a cat and dog equivalent.

Some years ago, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation show "Witness" explored the exploitation of animals and the great love of pets, especially in western countries. The show documented the worst and the best that people mete out to animals. Many Canadians and Americans were most horrified at the segments showing how cats and dogs, companion animals in the west, were raised for slaughter and food in certain South East Asian countries.

Previously a British TV programme had shown the preparation of cat at restaurants in part of China. The diner selected a cat and observed its preparation. The conscious cat was thrown into boiling water then dumped in a pail of cold water. This made skinning easier.
