Seems like the cows produce 3 percent of Britain's greenhouse gases.

Seems obvious to a vegetarian what the best solution would be. But omnis are so ****ing OBTUSE!!!!!!!!!!!

You're right, killing all the cows would solve the problem!

Maybe they should be fed Bean-o.

Did I say anywhere about killing cows?

I don't know what you are talking about.

 

[Ludi]

Diana, do you have specific ideas about how the cows can be phased out?

 

[GhostUser]

It's supply and demand.

 

[Ludi]

In the long term, yes, but in the short term, there will still be cows who need to be cared for. They can live 30 years. I'm wondering if Diana (or anyone) has any specific ideas about how the cows can be retired and cared for.

Oh okay. Although I'm not necessarily arguing this as a realistic solution, it'd be awesome if those who were interested would voluntarily create animal sanctuaries to care for them.

30 years is nothing.

Long-term solutions need to be looked into. No-one can realisitically imagine that this problem can be solved short-term.

Short-term solutions for big problems do not work out.

They'd still be burping and farting in the animal sanctuaries, though. You'd have the same amount of cow gas for up to 30 years.....

No, the overall amount would be steadily going down, as the cows die off (as humans would no longer be breeding them for food).

What they are fed has something to do with what they produce as well.

 

[Ludi]

Yes, you're right, it would decrease as the cows die a natural death.
