Ireland Debates Killing 200,000 Cows To Fight Climate Change

Thanks to the incessant needling by the United Nations global warming cultists, virtually every nation on earth has declared war on agriculture in general and red meat in particular. Alternative food, such as insects and lab-grown meat, is comparable to the scam of inefficient and expensive alternative energy. Both are delusional and refuse to be corrected despite clear evidence exposing the madness.⁃ TN Editor

Livestock production — primarily cows — has apparently become such a problem for the climate that government officials in Ireland are mulling over a plan to kill hundreds of thousands of cows.

The Irish Mirror said a new Department of Agriculture report shows officials planned to kill 200,000 dairy cows over the next three years to combat climate change.

We told readers in late 2022, “Forget Oil. Now They Are Coming For The Cows.” And that’s apparently what the climate alarmists in Ireland are preparing to do.

Ag website Farming Independent said it recently obtained the report via a freedom of information request.

“Cuts to the dairy herd of 65,000 cows per year for the next three years will be needed to meet agriculture’s climate targets Department of Ag officals have estimated in an internal briefing paper seen by the Farming Independent,” the website said. 

A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine told the Irish Mirror, “The Paper referred to was part of a deliberative process – it is one of a number of modeling documents considered by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and is not a final policy decision.”

The ag agency added: “As part of the normal work of Government Departments, various options for policy implementation are regularly considered.”

Meanwhile, Pat McCormack, the president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, railed against the plan to cull dairy cows.

McCormack said, “If there is to be a scheme, it needs to be a voluntary scheme. That’s absolutely critical because there’s no point in culling numbers from an individual who has borrowed on the back of a huge financial commitment on the back of achieving a certain target that’s taken from under him.”

“We should be investing in an infrastructure that can deliver from a scientific perspective. And we know low emissions are better and we should be continuing to invest in further science and research because that’s absolutely critical as we move forward,” McCormack said, who was quoted by the Irish Times.

Ireland’s farming sector appears to be under attack by climate nuts. Remember what the end goal might be:

Climate alarmist morons now want to kill 1000s of animals, absurdly believing that will stop the climate from changing. With morons like this in charge, the world is doomed- not from climate change but from terminal stupidity.

Catastrophic anthropogenic global warming due to industrial CO2 is complete pseudoscience with absolutely NO proof/experimental validation. But this scam is making $billions for wealthy investors in so-called “renewables”, which are just as harmful or even more so than using natural gas to generate electricity.

When Irish cows are dying
All the world is dark and gray
You can feel the people languish
As the milk costs eat their pay
The sun still rules the climate
And the methane is just gas
But when Irish cows stop mooing
Then your freedom is gone at last.

Humanity is a failure

Those poor cows. As go the cows so do we…..
