Farmers in Denmark and, more recently, Norway are backing away from using a food additive, called Bovaer, they give their cattle geared to cut back on their methane emissions. According to the Telegraph, several farmers have reported that their cattle suffered serious health issues after consuming feed containing the additive, such as sudden collapse, lethargy, loss of appetite, fever, diarrhea, abortions, and sharp declines in milk yield.

Despite being required to do so, farmers who have discontinued the additive-containing feed report that their animals’ health has improved. Upon learning of Denmark farmer’s experience, the UK’s largest dairy producer, Aria Foods, to stopped using the additive and investigate if their using it had any negative effect on their cattle.

What environmentalists can’t accomplish by using wolf populations to kill of cattle in order to reduce the food supply and the amount of meat in people’s diets, they’ll poison the cows while humans consume the chemical when people eat store-bought beef either at home or at a restaurant.
