Are cows killing the planet?

Which do you think poses the greater danger to the planet - the much-abused car or Daisy the cow? The answer may come as a surprise.

Polluting though the gas-guzzler may be, it is much less of an environmental menace than the familiar herbivore quietly chewing the cud.

For a landmark study by the UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) has revealed that cattle emit more than 100 different polluting gases, including two-thirds of the world's emissions of ammonia, one of the main causes of acid rain.

Ranching them is 'the major driver of deforestation' worldwide, while their overgrazing is turning a fifth of all the planet's pastures and rangelands into deserts...........
