Irish farmers may have to get rid of 200,000 cows
After Dutch farmers had their land taken out of production by the government, Irish farmers are now facing having to reduce their cattle population in the name of climate change.

These nuts are trying to starve the world.

The unintended side effect: farm researchers will focus on breeding/GM to produce cows that get to market earlier. If they shorten the time by 1/5th (like they have with pigs over the past two decades), then they can reduce the herd by 1/5th but maintain the same beef output.

And then corporations will patent the animals so they can control the gene line and everyone will have to buy from them, like they have with hybrid seed and the chemicals made to match up them, like with Roundup Ready and GMO crap. And then they get their own legislation passed that only their brand is climate approved or what have you.
They’ll get rid of the old lines that no one can control and patent, drive us all to hunger, create their new super cows and sell it as the solution. They’ll then point to the old days of hunger that they created and say “see, it wasn’t working and couldn’t feed everyone.”

Maybe the Irish can sell the animals to the US govt and the govt can spend more millions further studying cow farts.
