Too Lenient
OPINION: Reckless action by Greenpeace in 2024 forced Fonterra to shut down a drying plant for four hours, costing the co-op about $300,000.
So, that's equivalent to 140 million people. 'It's just too much faeces and urine for the rivers, lakes and groundwater to handle,' Rusty laments.
However, as one Twitter user pointed out: the daily output of E. coli from a human is estimated at more than 11,000 more than that of a cow.
Also, dairy cattle are fenced from waterways and most of their effluent goes back on pasture.
Something for Russell to ponder!
