EU - Cows Can Fly Upper Class On Common Agricultural Fare


A new report calculates that the European Union spends enough money each year on farmers to pay for a round the world trip for all 21 million European cows, the Guardian reports. Aid campaigners estimate that, thanks to the generosity of Europe's taxpayers, the cows could touch down in London, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Hanoi, Siem Reap, Brisbane, Raratonga, Los Angeles and San Francisco and still have enough left over for £400 spending money each.
