According to a scientist on Countryfile on the BBC this evening UK cattle emit 60% of the world wide average of methane because of the way we keep most of them.
She also said that 60% of UK farm land is not suitable for growing crops.
All in all good reasons for keeping some animals for meat in Britain.
