More outrageous studies

I just read that the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization published a study last November that states that the livestock business generates more greenhouse gas emissions than all forms of transportation combined. (Just another reason why the U.S. should not be a member of the U.N.)

Animal rights groups like PETA have jumped all over this one stating that “you just can’t be a meat-eating environmentalist.” They are also following Al Gore around with a banner that has a slogan on it that says “Too Chicken to Go Vegetarian? Meat is the No. 1 Cause of Global Warming.” We knew these animal rights organizations were loony to begin with, but this just takes the cake.

I personally don’t agree with global warming, but I have one question for anyone who wants to correlate livestock production with global warming. Would you rather be locked in an enclosed garage with a running car or a cow. I know I would choose the latter.

Mike I would take the cow as well. Heck I would even take a pig or two.
