From Zero Hedge
Last week, the Irish Independent reported on a government document describing plans for a potential cull of up to 65,000 dairy cows per year for the next three years. The paper reportedly obtained the documents from Ireland’s Department of Agriculture through a freedom of information request. In all, killing off 200,000 cows would wipe out about 10 percent of Ireland’s dairy cow population.
Ireland’s Department of Agriculture subsequently told the Irish Mirror the document describing the culling operation was part of a deliberation process as the department looks for ways to help Ireland meet its emissions reduction goals and “is not a final policy decision.” Still, the proposal has faced backlash from farming organizations.
Reports like this only serve to further fuel the view that the government is working behind the scenes to undermine our dairy and livestock sectors,” Tim Cullinan, president of the Irish Farmers’ Association, told The Telegraph.
Pat McCormack, president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, also knocked the cull proposal. McCormack balked at the idea that plans for reducing Ireland’s emissions had come to focus on livestock rather than other major emitters like airlines.
“We’re the one industry with a significant roadmap, and, to be quite honest with you, our herd isn’t any larger than it was 25 to 30 years ago,” McCormack told The Telegraph. “Can the same be said for the transport industry, can the same be said for the aviation industry?”
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk also pushed back against the cow-killing emissions reduction plan on Saturday.
“This really needs to stop. Killing some cows doesn’t matter for climate change,” Musk, whose portfolio includes the Tesla electric vehicle company, wrote on Twitter.
Editor: Who was it that said the Irish can be mad?
With a critical amount of ‘zombie blood’ now in their veins, the Irish have lost the ability to go (justifiably) mad and have become sitting ducks vis-a-vis a murderous bunch of well paid mercenaries determined to kill NOT ONLY COWS, but eventually their VERY OWN………
“Climate Change” psy-op to excuse the NWO.
Absolute stupidity… has the world gone mad? Do they think the rich will stop eating meat and eat crickets or lab meat instead? Will they give up their stretch limos and their jets?
It seems that everyone has lost the ability of to think critically or even just plain common sense – or are they being paid to be stupid? I think its both.
I don’t want to hear one word about the name Ryan. The truth is, when the Ryans left Ireland this halved the remaining IQ. When Uncle Mick burned his lips on the exhaust pipe, trying to blow up Paisleys car, we called it a day and moved to Oz.
The government is to cull the stock.
Power is with parliament.
The MPs can prevent it .
Will they? Are they to greedy for their salary or straight out gutless.
Watching.
They are going to starve come the next potato famine, if they last that long.
How sick can they be Time to cancel the Communist WHO UN and WEF 😡
And what are the animal rights activists doing about this sort of thing, anywhere in the world, as Ireland is not the only country doing it, or proposing to. Where is the outrage?
Seeing the effect of 200,000 dead government officials and bureaucrats would be something to try instead. I predict a vast improvement in the overall well-being of the entire nation. It’s just genocide disguised as environmentalism.
Kill the Department of Agriculture instead
How did they collect the gas given off by these cows (or any cows), to accurately prove the Methane given off, or the volume, negatively impacted Earth?
Anyone?
Millions upon millions of wildebeast, zebra, antelope and other herbavores all across Africa and these idiots are gonna kill cows?
The Irish don’t seem to be doing much to improve their reputation. But perhaps I shouldn’t talk since we seem to be heading in the same direction.
Killing poor cows God’s creatures. I pray it does not happen. Hope other countries do not follow suit. By the way, I have been drinking almond milk for years now. Try and watch the movie Soylent Green with Charlton Heston. He goes to a rich man’s house an on seeing a half eaten piece of steak on a plate pops it in his mouth. In the future it just proves only the rich will afford a juicy steak.

This government is nothing more than a white collar killing machine that approves killing babies and elective suicide. Sounds to me this new mooooo ve is consistent with their lack of righteousness.
