Original Note:
The Irish government is not forcing farmers to cull the herd. It was a discussion proposal that was leaked, it was not formal policy - merely a modelling document for scenarios. https://www.buzz.ie/news/irish-news/agriculture-department-culling-cattle-cows-30113201 https://www.thejournal.ie/rural-independents-cattle-cull-bill-scaremongering-6104618-Jun2023/ It only be considered if there were no other efforts in agriculture to reduce emissions https://www.newstalk.com/news/cull-of-200000-cows-to-meet-climate-targets-by-no-means-necessary-icmsa-1470234
