Cattle = Global Warming??HUH???

~*~UPDATE~*~
Kelly left me a comment about another blogger who wrote about the stupid Fart Tax..you can read it HERE! Thanks for the info...us farmers have to band together! And be informed!

You all have heard me write before about that asinine Fart Tax farmers are "fondly" referring it as. There is a large group of people who are now saying that Cow farts are the number one cause for Global Warming. Here is one article I just found. And another and another and another and another and another.. They are all over the Internet.
Okay...yes our farm animals, not just cattle, burp and fart. Thats a known fact, but then again so do most of the men standing around the construction site with no shame. Yeah, so maybe us humans dont fart as big and as often as the cow (well some would disagree with that! LOl)....but I still find it hard to believe that cattle make up more of the methane than cars, factories, etc. Why if a cows fart is so terrible hasnt the world started to warm up earlier? And why havent we smothered yet here on the farm by the deadly fumes that they say are so bountiful? Cows have been around since....well like - FOREVER and now they are deciding that they are the cause for our demise? They want to impose a huge tax on farmers per cow, which is a HUGE loss for them, and after making it from crop to crop already it will force many out of their livelihood and homes. One of the concerns I read in one of the articles above is that cattle take up too much room....I'm assuming this is coming from someoe who has never lived in the country and enjoyed listening to the crickets at night or the tree frog singing its own little song, the sweet smell of alfalfa growing in the field,...probably never seen a cow in person, and wants to make money on our loss, and build big new suburbs. There are too many people already as far as I'm concerned. So what to do? People want beef.....they out weigh Vegetarians by far. It is a choice we are all - or should- be allowed to have. Neither side - beef vs veggies, is wrong to me. I agree with both sides and dabble in the middle at times. But again - people are not going to give up their meat.....farmers will fight to the death over their land and cattle (whom most of us consider our extended family)......is there a place to meet in the middle? Will the Fart Tax do anything to help anyone out??? My thoughts are NO. Cattle have been grazing the earth for thousands of years, but now when human population is at an incredible high which gives such a high demand for vehicles, factories, oil, etc - they lonely cow is to blame for the mess our earth is in? How many of us will leave a footprint on this world...most all....does the farmer who loves his dirt more than anyone on this earth? I think we leave a much softer print than the others. I think, and this is just my opinion, we all need to look at ourselves and see what we can do to change the ruin our Mother Earth is coming to. We all contribute, as much and more than the farting cow. I will never believe that one species of animals has caused Global Warming (well unless its the human species) . I guess when that fire reigns down from heaven as foretold in Revelation they will really know what Global Warming is huh?
I'm disgusted that my close friend the cow is singled out when in all reality..Humans are the cause for their own demise. And as usual, they are pointing their fingers in the wrong place, but remember when you point a finger - there are 3 pointing right back at you!
Beef - its whats for dinner! HA!
