German legislators have proposed raising the sales tax on meat from seven percent to 19 percent to fight climate change and improve animal welfare.
Research has
shown that greenhouse gas emissions from livestock account for a higher percentage of total global emissions than the world's 1.2 billion automobiles, a fact
underscored by some German Greens who are pushing for higher meat taxes,
A United Nations
report from 2012 found that the earth's cattle population generates more carbon dioxide than automobiles, planes, and all other forms of transport
combined. Moreover, the cow pies they deposit and the wind they break produce a third of the world's methane emissions, considered 20 times more detrimental to the environment.
According to Germany's Federal Statistics Office, slaughterhouses in Germany killed 29.4 million pigs, cows, sheep, goats and horses during the first six months of 2019. During this period, Germany produced 3.9 million tons of meat, led by pork, the primary ingredient in German sausages.
"I favor abolishing the VAT reduction for meat and using it (the increased revenues) instead for more animal welfare," said Greens agriculture spokesman, Friedrich Ostendorff.

It’s a smile on the edge of sadness
It’s a dance on the edge of life
Endlessly rocking.....
