Cannabis Is Not For Cows

[Jim Finnel]

Switzerland's agriculture ministry has called on the country's farmers to stop feeding their cows cannabis.

Several recent adverts have promoted feeding hemp to farm animals even after a March 2005 law banning its use.

The agriculture ministry has now warned that farmers doping their cows will be prosecuted.

Farmers consider the cheap and easy-to-grow plant good for their cows.

They believe the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, makes cows happy and produce more milk, but the agriculture ministry say THC can get into the milk and create a health risk.

They also said that there was a risk that Swiss cheese products could be contaminated.

I don't see how it could be harmful whats wrong with happy cows

 

[bigfanofpj]

But if it's hemp there is no THC...??

Are they afraid they might be lacing the milk? I think that feeding cows pot is fine, deer eat the shit out of it when they find it, in fact most animals will eat the cannabis plant given the opportunity, even animals like to get stoned.

I dont see either why there would be anything wrong with it. Your right about outher animals eating pot. Think about how many plants get eatin from outher animals outdoors.
