Elon Musk weighed in over the weekend on reports of a proposal by Ireland’s government to slaughter roughly 200,000 cows in order to meet the European Union’s climate change goals.
"This really needs to stop. Killing some cows doesn’t matter for climate change," Musk tweeted Saturday, responding to author Ashley St. Clair. 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?"
The Telegraph, the national British newspaper, recently reported that the Irish government is considering a plan to cull 200,000 cattle amid pressure from Brussels.
According to the newspaper, one option being considered by the Irish Department of Agriculture 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."
