COWS NUMBER ONE POLLUTERS

I always knew cows were evil:
According to a new report issued by government regulators in California, dairies are the No. 1 source of smog-producing pollution in the San Joaquin Valley, producing more than even cars and light trucks.

Jared Fernandes, a dairy farmer who milks 3,000 cows in Tulare, said he finds the district's report hard to believe.

"It's a joke," he said. "Common sense tells me that I doubt cows are producing more than cars. Would you rather sit in your garage with your car running, or sit in a garage with a cow all night?"

Air pollution regulators say cow emissions cannot be directly compared to car emissions because they contain different types of VOCs.
Jeez, the Great Plains must have been a hell of a place back when there were 60 million buffalo running around loose cranking out VOCs.
