Reminder that farmers can spend something like a dollar per cow per year to allow their cattle to roam through public lands to cause erosion, shit in streams, spread giardia, and give farmers reasons to kill coyotes and wolves.

Also a shame that cow farts emit a lot of methane.

They surpsingly release most methane through burping, not farting. Even more surprising is that they burp so much methane that it is measurable from space
