Avoiding meat and dairy is ‘single biggest way’ to reduce your impact on Earth

1,000+ cows is pretty sizeable.

One farm...ok
that's big. They seem to be leasing a fair amount of lamd too.
Maybe they will look at getting into the whole zero emmissions farming in tbe future.

You have any evidence at all of that happening any time soon?

I didnt even know that farm existed til you posted about it. But knowing how Corkonians like to outdo each other it wouldn't surprise me if they went emmissions free just to better the co-op farm

There is no such thing as zero emissions dairy farming! It is a biological impossibility surely? Perhaps they are getting to net zero but that is not the same thing.

I have no idea.
I just found the UCC project with the four farms very interesting.
I guess we will know whether they can actually manage zero emissions or not when they finish their project.

Changing the way we farm is hugely important for climate so this is an interesting and important project. But they are mixing up language 'climate neutral' 'net zero' and 'zero emissions' that don't all mean the same thing which doesn't inspire confidence. That's probably down to PR spin rather than the academics working on it I guess.

They won't manage zero emissions.

I am no expert. But you may well be correct.

Why do you come to that conclusion?

Because he's a cunt.

Correlation rather than causation. Vegans probably having fewer social contacts - not invited to parties, pub, barbecues etc.

We’re too busy with roof-top pool parties, fending off groupies and signing book deals for barbecues mate.

Wow! How do you even find time to tell people you're vegan?

Its show don’t tell really. With our fabulous skin, bulging muscles and general star personas, people just figure it out themselves.

I think the lack of protein has addled your brain.

All joking aside, I do actually admire a lot of vegans; whilst I don't have the will (or self-control) to deny myself the pleasures of meat and animal products, veganism is undeniably a morally superior position* both for the planet and the suffering of other sentient creatures. And, whilst it might be a bit more work to get a balanced diet, it's clearly possible (at least in adults) - look at vegan athletes.

*I used to find a lot of vegans smug, but, on reflection, I don't think they were actually doing anything - I was projecting my own nagging conscience onto them. Despite the teasing, I've a lot more time for veganism now I'm reconciled to my own failings.

Could the cow sexual abuse industries be wiped off the face of the earth in the next decade?

Vegan “Dairy-Identical” Cheese Made From Animal-Free Casein Will Launch In 2023

Startup New Culture has found a way to create animal-free casein using a precision fermentation process that gives its dairy-identical vegan mozzarella the traditional color, melt, and stretch.

cow sexual abuse

 

[NoXion]

I've only seen vegans talk about dairy farming in sexual terms. It's proper fucking weird.

 

[platinumsage]

Did anyone mention pus yet?

Yeah, I mean electro-ejaculating a bull and then shooting the spunk into the cow's vagina whilst fisting her anus - fine and totally normal. Calling it sexual abuse is clearly weird though.

Are you sure that both parties aren't actually enjoying it? Because it sounds like a lot of fun to me.

If you do get caught Saul, remember to tell the Guarda that you're doing it for the cheese and not for kicks. Bestiality still seems to be prosecuted under section 61 of the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act

Just to beat Athos to it, it's now prosecuted under the Sexual Offences 2003.

Is that the one that outlaws having sex in your back garden?

I think Saul does his offending in the republic though

I'll just tell them I was seduced. It worked last time.

You should read about the weird things that get done to seeds...

Here’s some free legal advise: if you’re ever charged with bestiality, I would not recommend ‘seeds tho’ as your line of defence.

I'm not the one who thinks dairy farming is about getting your rocks off.

How many farmers have been charged with bestiality for conducting artificial insemination?
