Maybe I ought to take a few shots for the team after I eat my beans. Or perhaps we should mow down anyone overdoing it on Mex food in the name of Green.
It is, first, amazing that animals can convert grass into food. This requires fermentation within the gut, and results in a lot of methane. Accordingly, by bringing grazing animals largely under management, the human race has tremendously reduced the emission of methane. Another really big contribution of humans is draining swamps. Animal and vegetable matter decay in swamps through the action of termites and microbes that also release methane. The result is open cesspools of decaying organic matter. By draining swamps, the human race has made another tremendous change to the climate. We have been tera-forming this planet for centuries. Converting it from a place marginally-disposed to human habitation, into a veritable garden, by bringing the rivers under management, eliminating dread diseases, ending plagues of locust, and in many other ways. We should be proud of what we have done and approach environmental protection (and enhancement) with a positive perspective.
Marching onward to complete and absolute stupidity.
I’m not sure any carbon credits should be given to those who do not use or properly dispose of the dead carcass. Some of the meat of a dead carcass might be eaten by vultures and such, but mostly its organic matter will decay due to the action of microbes, which will result in the release of a lot of methane. Turning the carcass into “by products” such as cat food and fertilizer, as industrial food processors routinely do nowadays, is much more environmentally sensitive.
insanity
Uh-oh! Are flatulent men next???
What a backasswards world we live in. Camels shot in Australia to reduce CO2 and lizards (which nobody ever sees) are saved in Texas to prevent drilling for oil.
Can you guys even buy a rifle or ammo there any more, in numbers that would even dent the ferrel heards? What about your pigs?
Who cares? These hump-backs are not native as others have said. Drop ‘em all. This really is not a big deal with people I have met in Queensland. I went “Roo” hunting with them one evening and shot 8 roo’s. They just cut them up and feed them to their dogs. Camels will go a long way compared to roo meat.
hilarious—let’s go shooting
MMMMmmm Camel steaks, taste like manatee’s
tell me there is really ....not people that are that Stupid in this world. Please?
