Australian aims to breed 'green' sheep
« on: November 30, 2009, 20:03 »
Australian scientists have said they are hoping to breed sheep that burp less as part of efforts to tackle climate change.

The scientists have been trying to identify a genetic link that causes some sheep to belch less than others.  Burping is a far greater cause of emissions in sheep than flatulence, they say.

Should that not be Austria.  Sounds like something that would come out of the EU.  :laugh:

here's me thinking you'd go on rant about it not being natural... only the welsh should be allowed to mess with sheep.
