Don't give the chocolate to your dog!

Don't give the chocolate to your dog!

You may love chocolate, but don't feed it to

 your dog-you may poison it!

 How serious the danger is depends on the 

type of chocolate and the amount eaten.

 Chocolate has a chemical called theobromine, which is similar to caffeine

 and toxic to dogs.

 Unlike humans, 

 dogs cannot digest theobromine effectively, 

 so it can increase in the body and become harmful.

  Theobromine levels are different depending on the type of chocolate.

 Cocoa, cooking chocolate, and dark chocolate are all high in theobromine,

 but milk and white chocolate are low. 

A small amount of chocolate may give your dog an upset stomach 

and vomiting.

 Larger amounts can have more serious results.

 These include shaking, internal bleeding and in extreme cases, 

even heart attacks.

 Thebromine poisoning can be treated by getting the dog to vomit.

 So if your dog has eaten too much chocolate, take it to the vet right away.

Cow's gas?

  Cow's gas?

 What is the biggest cause of global warming in the world today?

    If you were to answer automobiles or airplanes, you'd be wrong.

                                                                                                                  Surprisingly, the answer is cows!

There are thought to be around two billion cows in the world.
Cows eat grass, which is digested inside their stomachs.

During this process, methane gas is produced.

When cows fart, the gas escapes into the atmosphere where it mixes with other greenhouse gases.

 This, in turn, causes global warming to occur.
 Although cows are not the only producers of methane gas, they are by far the largest single contributing factor.

 Scientists have now found a way to reduce the impact of cow farts.
 A new medicine has been developed that neutralizes the methane gas inside a cow's
 stomach before if can escape into the atmosphere.

 According to some experts, 
as more and more farmers give this medicine to their cows, 
 The effect will be as great as removing a million cars our roads.

 It may not completely solve the earth's environmental problems, 

but reducing gas from cows could be an important first step towards controlling global warming.
