| Description | Is the Environmental Protection Agency preparing to slap a "cow tax" on bovines for their contribution to global warming?
The agency says no. But in recent weeks, farmers and livestock ranchers have flooded the EPA with letters warning of catastrophic consequences if such a tax was imposed.
