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

The article was very mooooooooooooooooooooooooving.

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.

OK. Keep us posted.

AOC is an idiot and I'm not ever going to stop saying that,

Double major at Boston University, graduated with Honors.

I'll bet she's probably smarter than you are Clax.

China is more of a pork kind of place....

Beef is rather expensive in China

Pork and chicken are much better for priced

no, not insane.

probably falls under the 'war on food'. the less food = less people; helps out with the 'war on people'.

for the de-population types, that is the End Game, they do whatever it takes. war, politics et al is fine with them; remember this is the End Times, so expect perilous times.


blessings.

What war on people?
Are you serious?
The global population has exploded in the last century so if we are at war we lost really, really badly.

Just a simple look at a global population chart for the last few hundred years should show you why there is no war on population.

Would you like 10B people on earth? How about 20B?

Apparently the war on cows was such a failure that I never knew we were at war with cows. I was still fighting the war on Christmas.

Is the "war on cows" one of those things that has been brewing in right-wing media ecosystem for years, that never went mainstream? That's the thing about the right-wing media...I can't even keep up with all the various wars they say liberals are waging, which most liberals have never even heard of. We only have enough troops for a two-front, or maybe a three-front war. If conservatives are going to try to cut Medicaid and ban abortion, then I'm not going to send my troops on a side quest to *checks notes* go to war with cows.

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.

Is it opposite day?
The Democrats don't pay attention to them?
Ever hear of the Green new deal??

Good Lord

Ever hear of the Green new deal??

Yes. What do you know about it?

What regulations were imposed on the raising of cattle?

Recent advancements have been made in reducing methane emissions from cattle, a significant contributor to greenhouse gases. One notable development is the feed additive Bovaer, which can decrease methane emissions by up to 30% in dairy cows and 45% in beef cattle. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in May 2024, Bovaer works by inhibiting an enzyme in the cow's digestive system responsible for methane production. A new facility in Scotland is set to supply Bovaer to 4 to 5 million cows annually starting in 2025.

However, the introduction of Bovaer has faced public resistance. In December 2024, Arla Foods UK encountered backlash during its trial of the additive, with misinformation leading to consumer boycotts and unfounded health risk claims. Despite assurances from food safety authorities about Bovaer's safety and efficacy, the controversy underscores the challenges of public acceptance regarding agricultural innovations.

In addition to feed additives, genetic approaches are being explored. Researchers in Scotland have utilized in vitro fertilization (IVF) to breed calves like Hilda, specifically selected for genes associated with lower methane production. This method aims to expedite the breeding of cattle that naturally emit less methane, offering a sustainable solution to emissions reduction.

Actually it's vegans doing most of the farting.

Feely extra gassy after going veggo? It's time to start soaking your beans

An increase in flatulence is a "very normal" part of transitioning to a plant-based diet. But it doesn't mean you should give up on going meat-free — here's how you can keep the beans, but dial down the gas.

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.

Ane the people of India are what?

The “war on cows” only ever existed in the minds of right wing nut jobs.

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

Go America. (sarcasm)

Not so:

War on cows?
Man, are you guys ever important! Stepping into the fray in the war on cows!
Must be January and the war on Christmas doesn't have legs anymore. What's next, as May approaches the libs are waging a war on motherhood?
Cheeses Griste.

There is literally no end to our MAGA list of grievances.

No end, so you should buy a red hat and join us while you still can.

Sort of like the "war on Christmas." Just something to get the toadies all ginned up and outraged over.

While that article was a gas it by no means was proof of the contention.

Sadly, it is apparent you have missed the MAGA message.

Global warming is a hoax, the green extremists have lost, so we need to have cows producing more methane, not less.

Methane is the MAGA way.

MAGA.

Sure, go for it.

Or, your other option might be to research the validity of YOUR angry contention about Vegans and their alleged excessive flatulence, then if that proves successful you can share your findings here with all of us.
