The billionaire has announced his decision to become a rancher, only to immediately face backlash from animal and climate activists.
Meta founder, Chairman and CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, has announced that he has become a rancher. The billionaire revealed his new passion project in an Instagram post on Wednesday, to a typically mixed reaction.
Zuckerberg said he has begun raising cattle at his Ko’olau Raunch, a multi-million-dollar compound in Kauai, Hawaii, in order to create “some of the highest quality beef in the world.” The billionaire said he will breed wagyu and angus cows, feeding them macadamia nuts and beer produced at the ranch.
“We want the whole process to be local and vertically integrated. Each cow eats 5,000 – 10,000 pounds of food each year, so that’s a lot of acres of macadamia trees,” Zuckerberg wrote, sharing photos of his daughters planting trees at the property.
Zuckerberg also posted a picture of himself enjoying a massive slab of beef, stating that ranching is his “most delicious” project to date. Describing the ranch as a hip one, however, has not spared the billionaire criticism, with an angry crowd showing up on his feed as well as spreading the news to other social media platforms to vent their anger.
Some attacked ranching from a climate change standpoint, insisting that cows produce way too many greenhouse gases.
Proud of you man, you really fulfilled that dream of putting food in your mouth in the manner that causes the most climate change possible for a human being https://t.co/x03Tey1WDF

Others blasted Zuckerberg’s dietary pick for his cows, condemning it as unethical or, at least, questionable.
Zuckerberg is raising the MUFA content of his cattle over SFA.

Some took a more radical approach, insisting that eating meat must be dropped altogether, and that humanity should be vegan.
“Mark Zuckerberg says he’s now started raising cattle; at his property in Hawaii, feeding them beer, and then killing them. Mark, the Dark Ages called and it wants you back,” Shalin Gala, a senior PETA member, wrote.
Others took a more lighthearted approach to the announcement, suggesting that years of Facebook experience will likely make herding cattle way easier for the billionaire.
Pathetic. The guy is pathetic as all super rich are.
Zuck is quite possibly the cringiest man on the planet, no doubt about that, but my God those comments 😒😑
COW FARTS DO NOT CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE, dipsh*ts!! No more than parakeet farts do.
Please feel free to look up at the 1,391,000km wide thermonuclear fusion reaction up in the sky. It’s roughly 109 times the diameter of the Earth, you can’t miss it.
THAT’S where our planet’s climate comes from, okay? Not plastic grocery bags, not drinking straws, not cow farts. It comes from that big bright thing. Even cave dwellers in 10,000BC understood this, that’s why many of them even went so far as to worship it.
Now please close the communist manifesto, wash your hair, take all those ugly cattle rings out of your nose and go get a job.
The human population are potential customers.
Zuck the Cuck wants to control the natural protein market now, while his buddy Bill Gates buys-up all the farmland in the U.S. to grow organic and GMO veggies. Organic for the elite, GMO for the rest of us.
Maybe they’ll both die choking on their ‘carbon-free beef’, while the ambos look in vain and without result for the entrances into their secret underground bunkers…!
To those that don’t seem to understand climate change, I say to them, ‘the problem is Uranus is just so massive’
Now Zuckerberg go wash your hair too you dishonest little creton.
