Livestock production — primarily cows — has apparently become such a problem for the climate that government officials in Ireland are mulling over a plan to kill hundreds of thousands of cows.
The Irish Mirror said a new Department of Agriculture report shows officials planned to kill 200,000 dairy cows over the next three years to combat climate change.
We told readers in late 2022, “Forget Oil. Now They Are Coming For The Cows.” And that’s apparently what the climate alarmists in Ireland are preparing to do.
Ag website Farming Independent said it recently obtained the report via a freedom of information request.
“Cuts to the dairy herd of 65,000 cows per year for the next three years will be needed to meet agriculture’s climate targets Department of Ag officals have estimated in an internal briefing paper seen by the Farming Independent,” the website said.

A spokesperson for the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine told the Irish Mirror, “The Paper referred to was part of a deliberative process – it is one of a number of modeling documents considered by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine and is not a final policy decision.”
The ag agency added: “As part of the normal work of Government Departments, various options for policy implementation are regularly considered.”
Meanwhile, Pat McCormack, the president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, railed against the plan to cull dairy cows.
McCormack said, “If there is to be a scheme, it needs to be a voluntary scheme. That’s absolutely critical because there’s no point in culling numbers from an individual who has borrowed on the back of a huge financial commitment on the back of achieving a certain target that’s taken from under him.”
“We should be investing in an infrastructure that can deliver from a scientific perspective. And we know low emissions are better and we should be continuing to invest in further science and research because that’s absolutely critical as we move forward,” McCormack said, who was quoted by the Irish Times.
Ireland’s farming sector appears to be under attack by climate nuts. Remember what the end goal might be:
… but who cares about: “Private jet use soaring in Ireland, new research shows.”

So IRA reunion tour in the works?
Nope
The Irish are no more.
Not quite yet but they will be if they allow this to happen. Not sure how they will feed all the sub-Saharan Africans they let in.
We can hope, stupidity abounds, coming to a town near you
Cow farts. Preposterous folly.
Remember how there were millions more buffalo in the Great Plains for thousands of years running around farting than there are cattle in domestic herds today?
Maybe that’s what killed off all of the tribes … not the White folks …
That’s IT!!!! that is why the Glaciers are shrinking. Less Buffalo. We need “Farting” Billons of buffalo and the resulting Bull$hit to recover the top soil and Ice flows.
Vote for me, Butt coin accepted
If this is allowed to happen, then I’ll have to find a replacement for Kerry Gold butter from grass fed cows that originates there.
Bastards!
Scrabble? What say ye, lad?
Yes I agree ! we need an alterative to grass munching Cows, like meat eating Cows, with guns….
Its happening everywhere.
Casro jr is going after farmers, restricting fertilizers, herd reductions and lately no requirements on gmo labeling, etc. This is typical of communists, its an old playbook item that was employed by Stalin and MAO where 100 plus million people, combined, were starved to death.
They need to be mulling over the benefit of culling 200,000 bureaucrats from the population instead.
Thereby reducing noise pollution and anthropogenic global halitosis.
oooh no, my Irish butter—
Wait until the EEE-Yew or the Yew-En calls for the culling of 200,000 Irish because climate change.
There are some that suggest that culling may already be in progress. Could be, the cuts to food production are in anticipation of a smaller population to feed.
the idea is preposterous. obedience will only cause more of the same.
Rank stupidity. Real science says they are ignorant buffoons.
Send all unwanted cows to Arizona.
We love cows.
Keep the cows…euthanize the Leftard politicians…and their WEF enablers.
Well its on the same intelligence level as reducing water and sunlight. They are anti-life, therefore their policies target the basic necessities of life. Maybe gravity will be next.
At 3,000€ per each cow to get killed/culled — someone’s going to be making a hell of a lot of money …
Oh God, I thought they were talking about the Mother-in-law old Cows..
I could get behind that but…. I was then , sadly taken out into an alley and sandbagged
Cows are lovely. It’s not bad enough they get turned into steaks and hamburgers they have to be murdered for globalist psychopaths as well? So wrong. Shame on Ireland.
