"Let me tell you the story of a classic Whitehall farce, a tale of how the government came within a whisker of advocating bovine genocide.

It all began when officials at the Department of Health decided to part-fund a piece of independent research looking at how health professionals could help combat the effects of climate change.

The scientists came up with a rather courageous idea. Why not kill 30% of Britain's cows and sheep?"

Nothing beats the taste of Welsh Spring Lamb. :y

IMHO, with the frozen Kiwi Lamb; the fat content 'ages' (despite the refrigeration) and makes the flesh taste most odd. :(

You don't want two headed sheep, it's eight legged sheep that are better :y

Kill 30% of the cows & sheep. We should kill 30% 80% of the MP's instead :) :)
