Absolutely terrible

A way to negatively impact the dairy industry?

They're saying a methane leak. I don't think it was anything nefarious.

Thousands of cow farts can add up pretty quickly....

Butter is already expensive. I guess it will be more expensive now.

Yeah, after years of butter, I can’t eat margarine. That ****’s plastic!

News report I saw said they have these things called "Honey Wagons" or something like that they use to slurp up all the cow dung on the floors. They're big tank looking things they pull behind huge tractors. They believe one exploded due to methane build up inside it. It seems odd that many cattle were killed but I saw the place and it's a huge operation.

add all the cow farts and you have a rather explosive atmosphere....
