Hunting to Stop Global Warming?

Peta and others have a new direction in turning people toward vegetarianism.

The biggest animal rights groups do not always overlap in their missions, but now they have coalesced around a message that eating meat is worse for the
environment than driving. They and smaller groups have started advertising campaigns that try to equate vegetarianism with curbing greenhouse gases.

They have based this idea around this:

In late November, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization issued a report stating that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined.

They seem to be missing a possible side effect. It isn’t that eat meat produces the dreaded greenhouse gases, it is the animals themselves. If we follow their logic out then increased hunting should be the nature extension to continue reducing greenhouse gases.

"To put it into perspective, the return flight from Oslo to Santiago in Chile leaves a carbon footprint of 880 kilos. Shoot a moose and you have saved the equivalent of two long-haul flights," said biologist Reidar Andersen.

Is this the path they really want to take?
