Climate Change - The Languish 'Community' Responses?

[viper37]

Usually "retired" dairy cows are turned into dog and cat food, it's the male caves that become human food (from the diary side anyway). Although there's a relatively new trend of dry aging dairy cows for fancy meat.

*edit* in Ontario anyway

retired dairy cows can be turned into ground beef, or very slim steak cuts for human production.  But that's the stuff you buy at a grocery store or a butcher, not where distributors and restaurants will buy their meet.

I eat Canadian beef and maybe occasional Australian beef I suppose. So no worries about the Aamazon on my account. Still responsible for the cow farts, of course. I guess the same goes for dairy.

there are ways to attenuate the impact for dairy farms, but our governments don't seem to have invested much into this.

Basically, you can use the methane to produce electricity for a small community around the farm.  Also, dejections are stocked in concrete structures and methane is only released when they move it around.  If they plow quickly after spreading the shit, most of the nutrients are absorbed by the ground.

But just like pigs, when you have so much animals in one small sector, there's just too much of the stuff, and that's where we have problems.

How does this work?  Do you shove a tube up their ass?

Also makes me wonder how much human farting contributes to climate change.

My bad.
