Cows Are Casualties in Leftist War on Food

The last time utopian oligarchical collectivist authoritarians had this much wind at their backs, Stalin and Mao each starved millions of their own subjects to death. This makes the unfolding war on food by conspicuously evil globalists like John Kerry alarming in the extreme.

Animals are collateral damage in this war. Leftists used to denounce the anthropocentrism of not granting animals the same rights as people. Now, their weather gods demand the killing off of cows:

Ireland’s government is pushing plans to slaughter a staggering 200,000 healthy cows to fight so-called “global warming,” according to reports. …

To slash the nation’s “emissions,” the government wants to gut the national dairy herd by 10 percent.

According to ruling class ideology, bovine flatulence is offensive to the climate.

[M]ultiple reports confirm that the cows will be “culled,” costing taxpayers €200 million ($215M) per year over the next three years to meet green agenda emissions targets.

There is no sane reason to believe that killing cows will have any perceptible effect on the weather, not that there is anything wrong with the weather anyway. It will however have an effect on food prices.

Ireland is not the only country succumbing to malevolent green tyranny.

The revelation is just the latest in a series of troubling moves from Western nations to green agenda goals dictated by the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the United Nations (UN).

Take for example the world’s #2 agricultural exporter:

The Dutch government shut down 3,000 productive farms to comply with “global warming” goals.

Across the border,

Germany ordered farmers to slash fertilizer after the Dutch farms were shut down to comply with global warming standards.

Moonbats are not merely insufferably full of crap. They want to hurt you. They have been putting themselves in a position to do it on a scale that will be remembered for centuries.
