Make it 1000%!

Staghouwer was leading the Dutch agriculture ministry's climate policy that involved confiscating farms in a forced government buy-out scheme.
In the wake of the huge protests from farmers, he has now been forced to step down.

In July, over 40,000 Dutch farmers took to the streets in protest of the policy, blocking roads with tractors and defacing government officials’ homes.
This old mutt wonders if our agriculture minister is watching?
