　　Animal lovers should stop calling their furry or feathered friends “pets” because the word is insulting, leading academics claim．

　　Domestic dogs, cats or hamsters(仓鼠)should be renamed as “companion animals” while owners should be known as “human carers”, they insist．Even words such as wildlife are dismissed as insulting to the animals concerned－who should instead be known as “free-living”, the academics including an Oxford professor suggest．

　　The call comes from the editors of Journal of Animal Ethics, a new academic publication devoted to the issue．In its first editorial, the journal disapproves the use of words such as “critters(动物)” and “beasts”．It argues that “derogatory” language about animals can affect the way that they are treated．

　　“Despite its popularity, ‘pets' is surely a derogatory word both of the animals concerned and their human carers,” the editorial claims．“Again the word ‘owners', though technically correct in law, goes back to a previous age when animals were regarded just as property, machines or things to use．”

　　It goes on：“We invite authors to use the words ‘free-living' or ‘free-roaming' rather than ‘wild animals'．For most, ‘wildness' is very closely associated with uncivilized, rough existence．There is an obvious prejudice here that should be avoided．”

　　The editors also hope to see some of the more colorful words in the English language stamped out．Phrases such as “sly(狡猾的)as a fox”, “eat like a pig” or “drunk as a skunk(臭鼬)” are all unfair to animals, they claim．“We shall not be able to think clearly unless we discipline ourselves to use less than partial adjectives in our exploration of animals and our moral relations with them,” they say．

         Man’s best friend could be one of the environment’s worst enemies, according to a new study that says that your pet dog’s carbon pawprint(碳足迹) is more than double that of a sports car.

         Yet this point of view, made by New Zealanders Robert and Brenda Vale, has angered pet owners who feel they are being picked out as troublemakers.

         The Vales, researchers in sustainable(可持续的) living, looked at popular brands of pet food and calculated that a medium-sized dog eats about 164 kilos of meat and 95 kilos of grain a year.

         Combining that with the energy needed to produce that food, it means a medium-sized dog has an annual footprint of 0.84 hectares(公顷), about twice the 0.41 hectares required by a sports car driving 10,000 kilometers a year, including energy to build the car.

         “Owning a dog really is quite an extravagance(奢侈), mainly because of the carbon footprint of mean. Other animals aren’t better for the environment,” the Vales say.

         Cats have an eco-footprint of about 0.15 hectares a year, while two hamsters(仓鼠) are the same as a television and even the goldfish burns energy equal to two cellphones.

         However, Reha Huttin, president of France’s 30 Million Friends animal rights foundation says pets are too important to human life to be got rid of.

         “Everyone should work out their own environmental effect,” Huttin argude. “I should be allowed to say that I walk instead of using my car and that I don’t eat meat, so why souldn’t I be allowed to have a little cat to reduce my loneliness?”

         The Vales give some solutions to reduce pets’ environmental effect, including reducing pets’ meat intake. But they said that, as with buying a car ,humans should take the environmental effect of their future compainon into account.

71．The best title of the article is "______"．

         A．Work out our carbon emissions         B．Reduce our pets’ meat intake

         C．two hamsters burn the same energy as two televisions

         D．a sports car running 10,000 kilometers requires 0.41 hectares of footprint
