Loading ...Ireland’s mooted cow massacre is a warning to net zero Britain
The Irish government is reportedly looking at plans to cull around 200,000 dairy cows to meet its climate targets. It’s madness
The collateral damage of net zero is now getting uncomfortably close to home. First Dutch farmers were threatened with compulsory purchases to satisfy EU emissions targets, fomenting a new revolt in the process. Now it’s Ireland’s turn, where the government is reportedly looking at plans to cull around 200,000 cows to meet its climate targets. The scheme would be a bit like voluntary redundancy, with farmers offered financial inducements to give up their cows.
British beef and dairy farmers are now very jittery. It seems increasingly clear that there is an eco-modernist agenda to do away with conventional meat altogether. It’s not just the Extinction Rebellion mob, either; many of the world’s politicians are on board.
Let them go ahead.
The quicker we get this crash and burn going, the closer we are to cleaning the decks of the garbage.
The Donner party is coming to mind. So to speak.
Off with THEIR heads.
These proclamations are always coming from nebulous (centralized agency) sources.
They never identify the names of the people actually giving these orders, so accountability is watered down (and lost).
That needs to change. You can’t win a fight with a gaseous hydra.
