Elon Musk weighed in over the weekend on reports of a proposal by Ireland\u2019s government to slaughter roughly 200,000 cows in order to meet the European Union\u2019s climate change goals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This really needs to stop. Killing some cows doesn\u2019t matter for climate change,” Musk tweeted Saturday, responding to author Ashley St. Clair.\u00a0<\/p>\n

St. Clair had tweeted an editorial published by Cowboy State Daily titled, “Ireland Looking To Kill 200,000 Cows To Fight Climate Change; Are US Herds Next?”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Telegraph, the national British newspaper, recently reported that the Irish government<\/a> is considering a plan to cull 200,000 cattle amid pressure from Brussels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

EUROPEAN FARMERS FED UP WITH CLIMATE POLICIES SHOCK POLITICAL ESTABLISHMENT\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

According to the newspaper, one option being considered by the Irish Department of Agriculture<\/a> to reduce emissions from farming by a quarter by 2030 is to initiate a cull of 65,000 cows a year for three years, effectively reducing the national dairy herd by 10%. The proposal reportedly would be offered as a voluntary option to aging farmers as a “retirement exit scheme.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Irish Department of Agriculture has since said reports were referring to a “modeling document” included in a “deliberative process,” but no final plans have been agreed upon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Reports like this only serve to further fuel the view that the government is working behind the scenes to undermine our dairy and livestock sectors,” Tim Cullinan, president of the Irish Farmers\u2019 Association, told The Telegraph, warning that beef production would simply shift out of the country if the plan were to be enforced. “While there may well be some farmers who wish to exit the sector, we should all be focusing on providing a pathway for the next generation to get into farming.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re the one industry with a significant roadmap, and, to be quite honest with you, our herd isn\u2019t any larger than it was 25 to 30 years ago,” Pat McCormack, president of the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association, added. “Can the same be said for the transport industry, can the same be said for the aviation industry?”<\/p>\n

FARMER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST FORCING COWS TO WEAR DIAPERS TO CONTAIN METHANE EMISSIONS: ‘GONE TO LOONY TOWN’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The Irish Independent first reported about the Irish Department of Agriculture document, revealing \u20ac5,000 compensation per cow was being proposed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Irish politician Peadar T\u00f3ib\u00edn, the Aont\u00fa party leader, spoke before the Irish Parliament<\/a> last week, citing figures from the Farming Independent showing 200,000 cattle to be culled by 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Just a year and half\u2019s time. It\u2019s an incredible threat to the farming sector at a cost of about \u20ac600 million. Now, a full 25% of beef that\u2019s being imported into the European Union is now coming from Brazil,”<\/a> T\u00f3ib\u00edn said during a May 30 session. “How is it environmentally friendly to kill large swathes of the Amazon, import that beef from Brazil to substitute for Irish beef that\u2019s been culled here in this state. It\u2019s a significant threat hanging over farmers in this country, and we must have a debate crystallizing exactly what the plan of this government is.”<\/p>\n

“The Irish know about this from the potato famine,” Australian geologist Ian Plimer told Sky News of the reported plan for Irish cattle. “A third of their population died, a third emigrated, and the same thing will happen. They will lose productive people from Ireland, and they\u2019ll go somewhere else.” Plimer added that the proposal would “only end in disaster.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an opinion piece, The Telegraph\u2019s Jamie Blackett warned, “It seems increasingly clear that there is an eco-modernist agenda to do away with conventional meat altogether. It\u2019s not just the Extinction Rebellion mob, either; many of the world\u2019s politicians are on board.”<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s very fortunate we\u2019re out of the EU or we could be facing the same pressure from Brussels.<\/a> Now, we can only hope that Rishi Sunak, who represents a heavily rural constituency in the Yorkshire Dales, understands what\u2019s at stake for farming communities,” Blackett wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
