I read on New Scientist today (link to story) that CSIRO scientists are developing a vaccine that kills methane producing bacteria. This will reduce this greenhouse gas — 20% of all methane is produced by animals burping and farting.
Firstly, I enjoyed seeing the word "fart" in a serious publication. Hee hee.
Secondly, I was horrified. Taking away all the fun enjoyed by the animals burping and farting surely verges on animal cruelty.
