Same old, same old

Written by  Milking It

OPINION: It's election season and Greenpeace is banging the old drum again – ‘kill the dairy industry’.

It’s now calling on all political parties to step up and commit to bold and urgent climate action - code for reducing the number of cows.

With NZ knocking on the door of a recession, Greenpeace wants to kill the cow that gives the white gold which sells around the world for billions of dollars every year. Without those dollars, we’d be broke.

Sorry Greenpeace, all political parties support a safe and stable climate and healthy environment. The difference is, they are all working alongside farmers to find scientific solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rather than shut them down.
