I can tell you *which* of my 2 dogs farts more than the other, at least
so's we notice it. :)
I think there are stats on that sort of thing somewhere. I've heard
that cow farts account for a measurable percentage of the greenhouse
gasses produced.
I've never had any pets besides dogs. (And with various allergies, I'm
not likely to have that change.)
