Eco Friendly Cows

News item,"According to scientists, cows are responsible for 75% of the world’s methane gas emissions,released in the form of potent burps. Some ranchers are already working to reduce the cows’ intestinal methane by feeding them a diet rich in edible oils, but one group of Canadian researchers is looking for a more high-tech way to control these emissions—and genetics may play a key role. Using information about the genes responsible for producing methane in cows’ digestive tracts, the scientists have begun breeding more efficient, environmentally friendly cows that produce 25% less methane than less efficient cows"

Why discriminate against cows. What about the human beings who are responsible for most of the pollution of many kinds? How about eco friendly human beings? Any scientists working on this?
