The War on Cows Is Over—And Green Extremists Have Lost

Bum · Jan 23, 2025

For over a decade, environmental groups and green activists rallied against the cattle industry, citing methane emissions as a major contributor to climate change. The so-called "War on Cows" garnered widespread attention, with activists demanding a shift away from meat production, accusing cattle of playing a significant role in environmental destruction. However, a breakthrough in agricultural science has turned the tide in this ongoing debate, and many now claim that the war has come to an end, with environmental extremists on the losing side.

The argument is that cows just eat vegetables and fart....kinda like vegans.

What regulations were imposed on the raising of cattle?

I've run into exactly zero problems buying beef over the last lifetime....

What I see there is some random-ass unsourced post from a Caerish Bhim, from "Animal Planet HQ", of which I have not heard. It's full of conclusory statements. It doesn't even mention what the "war" was, beyond some unidentified number of "activists" who were "demanding a shift away from meat production".

How do you rely on this as a source, @Bum? This isn't "on the lighter side".

What bloody war? "Activists" said don't eat meat because it's inefficient to grow and then certain species fart too much methane. Did Biden say something about banning beef?

The people opposed to cows- and eating cows- are generally a small number of extremist cranks. This is true. Yet their shrieks are loud in some quarters.

Extremist cranks:

According to an initial outline of the measure, the freshman Democrat and Sen. Edward Markey (D-Mass.) said they “set a goal to get to net-zero, rather than zero emissions, in 10 years because we aren’t sure that we’ll be able to fully get rid of farting cows and airplanes that fast.”

Actually it's vegans doing most of the farting.

The article actually misses the point I think. The reason why all the research has been done into reducing methane emissions from cattle is because of all the pressure on the cow industry. The fact that we seem to be close to being able to produce beef and dairy with reduced methane production is a very good result, but driven by the pressure that the article is trying to denigrate. I am sure there are also those who just wanted the met industry stopped, but they are the extremists like we have extremists on nearly any topic you can think up.

Farting levels don't improve in humans when you go vegetarian or vegan. They make the farts less smelly....but that's about it.

Yup. Countries like China will continue to invest and surpass our technological base due to our short sightedness.

Well, whatever beef you don't want to eat, I'll step up.

"Extremist cranks" who get lots of attention from right wing media, to induce outrage, the drug of choice of the new American right wing.

No one else pays any attention to them.

Nobody-other than the right-pays any attention to those two extremist cranks? Okay. That's good. But I have to wonder why and how they were elected then.

Since I went carnivore, gas and bloating are almost nonexistent. It was the veggies, not the meat.

This article is going more in depth on the issue. I hope it works out because progress is good. A win for both sides?

Birth of IVF calf Hilda could speed up farmers’ net zero progress

The birth of an IVF calf bred to produce less methane could accelerate British farmers’ journey to net zero, scientists have said.

I'm hoping a more humane treatment of animals is forthcoming. The animals one consumes are more than $$$ and food.
