High Steaks?

We are in despair to hear that your scientists aim to develop a cow that produces less methane during its digestive process.

Such a project would seem laughable were it not for the reasoning behind the scheme.

Scientists have apparently calculated that the methane produced by the world's cows is responsible for more global warming than the profligate use of resources by humankind on its reckless voyage to destruction.

This discovery might be seen as yet another warning to humankind to reduce the number of animals reared to satisfy its desire for meat. But how much easier for your leaders if what must change is not the habits of the human population, but the genetic pattern of the bovine population.

When will you start to take responsibility for the results of your own behaviour?

Sadly it seems unlikely to be tomorrow.
