 In conjuction with the recently signed international Kyoto agreement the New Zealand Government proposed a tax on the farming community for the number of animals that could emit gases.
Although the offending emissions were from the front end (Burps) it was referred to as the Fart Tax.
After much hot air from the government trying to justify the tax commonsense prevailed and the programme was abandoned.

Hi, itâs me again your Critique Clubber

I remember the French had one planned a âcrap taxâ for the Britton cattle and pig farmers because they were poisoning the water table with nitrates. As it turned out, there was a logic flaw in perceiving a tax on one hand and then offering subsidies too help them export their meat and milk on the other hand.

The information is amusing and interesting, the photographic qualities a little less so.

One easy improvement: adding a little depth of field to have the cowâs head as sharp as the rest.

All the best, JJ

You may laugh but it really is a serious air pollution problem. Someone's gonna have to pay ... should it be the producer's or the victims?

Thanks for enlivening the "atmosphere." Perhaps you could re-do this one for the "Smell" challenge. OK, sorry ... it's pretty funny.

Picture is not worth the obviously little thought that went into it. How is a fart tax propoganda?
