Dutch Farmers’ Dirty Protest Covers Roads in Manure & Hay
Furious Dutch farmers protested against nitrogen emissions laws by pouring
manure and hay onto roads across the country, setting fire to scattered piles
and causing kilometer-long traffic jams.
Farmers are demanding authorities repeal the law on reducing nitrogen
emissions, which they say have pushed a third of farms to the verge of
bankruptcy as farmers are forced to send cows - a key source of nitrogen
emissions - to the slaughterhouse.
The Dutch farmers’ latest protest follows their action that covered the
Minister of Nature and Nitrogen’s house with hay last month and clashes with
cops earlier in July.
