You Can't Make This Stuff Up...

If this isn't the dumbest thing I've read this morning...

BARMY Euro MPs are demanding new laws to stop cows and sheep PARPING. Their call came after the UN said livestock emissions were a bigger threat to the planet than transport.

The MEPs have asked the European Commission to “look again at the livestock question in direct connection with global warming”.

The official EU declaration demands changes to animals’ diets, to capture gas emissions and recycle manure.

They warned: “The livestock sector presents the greatest threat to the planet.” The proposal will be looked at by the twenty-seven member states.

The UN says livestock farming generates 18T of greenhouse gases while transport accounts for 14%.

I read over, under, and around this column to see if it was a joke...I've been had by those before. But as far as I can see, they really think that "the livestock sector presents the greatest threat to the planet."

Um...well, what can be said?? I'm speechless.

JASmius adds: Well, Rosie O'Donnell did just leave The View. For her sake her next gig had better not be "across the pond"....
