German Greens look to ban all industrial farming

The Green party in Germany has said it intends to ban industrial farming as part of a wide-ranging and costly package to combat climate change should they come to power.

Katrin Goering-Eckardt, the party’s leader in the Germany parliament, said her party would establish a fund worth at least €100 billion to finance climate projects including dam construction, reforestation and environmentally friendly transportation projects.

Ms Goering-Eckardt did not go into further details on a timeline for the prohibition of intensively reared meat.

But the proposal is likely to stoke up debate over whether the Greens are still Germany’s Verbotspartei (prohibition party), a nickname they gained in 2013 due to a misjudged plan to introduce a weekly “veggie day”.

Last week Christian Lindner, the leader of the pro-business Free Democrats, warned that the Greens “dream of a meat-less country.”

I've always dreamed of a leftist-less country. Kind of a 'have my schnitzel and eat it too' attitude.

[rktman]

Let them eat cake. Which they’ll have to import.

[Eleutheria5]

Ban all tractors! Down with chemical fertilizer! No milking machines. Use your hands, the old fashioned way! Mass starvation, how environ-mental-ly responsible.

[Grimmy]

Wait?!!?

Germans grow industry on farms?

[Eleutheria5]

This is easy to defeat. Hello, Germans. You know what this plan means? NO BEEER!

Stand by for torches and pitchforks.

[headstamp 2]

Great move, destroy efficient food production.

The left is insane.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Well they do plan on reducing Mother Earth’s population by 6.5 billion.

Starvation is as good a way as any to get there.

[Chickensoup]

they will starve

[lewislynn]

That can easily be done and it will be supported by the people for equality and diversity.

Take the farms and give them to blacks like they did in Africa.

[Eleutheria5]

Not many blacks in Germany, and those that there are are probably well-educated and middle class. Equality and diversity? How about giving nomadic Gypsies a go at farming.

[Billthedrill]

It worked in Zimbabwe. Except, you know, for the starvation and stuff...

[Pearls Before Swine]

The Green party in Germany has said it intends to ban industrial farming...

That will fit in well with the forced return to communes with forced field labor.

[Pollard]

All the muslims they imported can become small farmers. I hear they’re really good at it. Just look at the lush growth of the places they inhabit for 100 years or so /s

[GingisK]

Yep, I suspect our own farmers will fare well in this case.

"Ban all tractors! Down with chemical fertilizer! No milking machines. Use your hands, the old fashioned way!"

In other news, Greens in Germany to ban the use of pharmaceuticals in treating psychiatric patients. Doctors now must place patient's heads in ovens. /sarc

[Lazamataz]

I feel the Greens in Germany should be systemically exposed to pesticides.

Zyklon-B comes to mind.

[Eleutheria5]

But no electric, gas or microwave ovens. Wood-burning. The Amish are taking over.

[Augie]

Truman nuked the wrong country.
