Brickbat: That Smell

Agriculture accounts for about half of New Zealand's exports. The nation is the largest dairy exporter in the world. But farmers are warning that could change if the government adopts a planned tax on the burps, farts, and excrement of cattle. Government officials said the tax is part of their plan to cut methane emissions 10 percent by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050.

I’m not a steak holder in this.
But I would like to meat up later for a bull session.
Cud the puns get more annoying?
If you haven't got the stomachs for it, you should hoof it further on down in the comments.
Come up with something more cheezy?
Personally, I think 'dairy' rather than just 'cows' may be getting too far afield and those puns would be better in Boehm's 'Big Dairy' article, but rennet up the flag pole and see.
Now my eyes hurt.

IDK, give 'em a whirl. What's the worst that could happen?
They should try to find a way to capture the gas emitted by cows. All that moo-thane is a valuable resource.

Perhaps a tax on hot air emanating from politicians?

How long before they move from taxing a image emissions to taxing the same from people?
Good luck getting cows to pay tax stoopid Kiwis!
https://www.wired.co.uk/article/cows-climate-change-methane-stop
“Around 95 per cent of the cattle’s methane emissions come from their nostrils and mouths,” Norris explains. “The technology detects, captures and oxidises methane when it is exhaled by the animals.”
I must say I feel rather smug about the fact that I'm doing my part to get rid of all the cows. Also all the pigs and chickens. I don't know if lobster, crabs, and shrimp add to global warming, but I'm doing my best to get rid of those, too.
P.E.T.A., amIright?
Don't forget lamb. The cuter the carbon emitter, the better they taste, IMO.

They do have a lot of sheep. In the spirit of the holidays I wish our Kiwi friends Fleece Navidad!
Lamb is not tasty. Veal on the other hand...
Rabbits and squirrel are cute and taste even worse.
You never had either a MiddleEastern or a Navajo friend? Yeah lamb IS yummy if it’s prepared properly!!
This. Moroccan ras el hanout smoked leg of lamb is one of my specialties.
Lemme guess, veal is best prepared sauteed in butter.
Not sorry you don't like the taste of meat that doesn't come wrapped in plastic and styrofoam.
I'll just leave this here.
I recommend everybody leave it there.
Personal favorite from my youth.
Ban the beans.
New Zealand seems to be on a don't come here kick.
They deserve it for voting these people into office.
