The following is part of a report in today's quirky news section. It made me .

Fart tax on cattle.

"Estonian authorities have slapped a flatulence tax on farmers to compensate the country for the methane gas produced by cows.

Farmers this week received their first 'fart tax' demands asking them to pay for the greenhouse gases their cattle produce.

A single cow is thought to produce on average 350 litres of methane and 1,500 litres of carbon dioxide per day from flatulence and burping.

It is thought that cattle are responsible for up to 25 per cent of methane gas emissions in Estonia."


I'm sure if asked nice enough the cows will promise not to fart!

Haha.

lmao

looks like more tax for me
