[QUOTE="delilah, post: 7811423, member: 76758"] [URL]https://www.nfuonline.com/nfu-online/sectors/dairy/mythbuster-final/[/URL] The whole document is awful. It repeatedly drives home two messages. Firstly, that cows are causing climate change. Secondly, that some cows are better than others. The first point is a lie, the second point drives a wedge between UK producers who choose to use differing systems. It is no way to represent an industry. If it is the best the NFU can do, then they need to be kept well away from the media. edit: What a way to start a document: [I]Myth 1: British livestock and dairy farming are the biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions[/I] I'm not aware of even the most zealous anti-cow fruitcakes coming out with that one. Who the hell decides that a good starting point for the defence of an industry, is to present a myth that isn't even out there ? The whole document wants taking down, along with every other NFU statement that paints us black. I am sick of it, and so should be every livestock producer. Stop whingeing about the BBC, get your own house in order. [/QUOTE]
