RIA Novosti - World - Estonian farmers face flatulence tax on cattle
TALLINN, May 8 (RIA Novosti) - Estonian farmers have received tax notices for methane emissions from their cattle, the country’s opposition party, the People’s Union of Estonia, said on Thursday.Ruminants produce large quantities of methane gas through belching and flatulence when they digest grass, which accounts for about 15-25% of overall gas emissions, according to different estimates.A single cow produces on average 350 liters of methane and 1,500 liters of carbon dioxide per day.

“For Copa-Cogeca, an organization that unites farmers of the European Union, the information received from Estonian farmers came as a huge surprise, and they could not recall a similar precedent in any EU country,” said the party’s spokesman, Jaanus Marrandi.

No other EU country imposes a flatulence tax on farmers.

A year after joining the Kyoto protocol, authorities in New Zealand proposed introducing a flatulence tax saying that New Zealand cattle are responsible for 90% of the country’s methane emissions and 43% of greenhouse gas emissions.

Ah Ha…an Achillies heel me thinks…let them write their taxes for flatulence, let every politician across the globe write them, one each for their own societies, then when they are all in place…We shall impose their own laws upon them, and tax the bloviating windbags out of existence. We’ll even have the benefit of being able to say, it’s for the children, as we confiscate every single last penny which they have corruptly screwed out of their own societies…Let them wander the streets in rags and dirt.

See…I’m such a kind hearted soul :)

An image I can savor….

Actually, the kindest thing that can be done for the earth is for all of the gore whores to be planted deep within it. Of course, we’d have to bury them far away from any water tables - the poison from their decaying corpses is guaranteed to have a longer life than nuclear waste.

Zee, If they’re doing it there, they’ll be doing it here in time no doubt. I wondered how they were going to put the final nail in the farmers’ coffins.

Which ever way will put the most money in their greedy, sweaty, little hands…. but hey, it’s all for the greater good now, isn’t it. (gag me!)
