The scientists came up with a rather courageous idea. Why not kill 30% of Britain's cows and sheep?"

Nothing beats the taste of Welsh Spring Lamb. Thumbs Up!

IMHO, with the frozen Kiwi Lamb; the fat content 'ages' (despite the refrigeration) and makes the flesh taste most odd. Sad

You don't want two headed sheep, it's eight legged sheep that are better Thumbs Up!

Kill 30% of the cows & sheep. We should kill 30% 80% of the MP's instead
