Australia does have a problem with many of the predators, pigs, wild horses, camels and of course we must not ignore the worst predator of all, our present and past members of political parties who have been able to get into power in our Government. They have done more damage to the economy and our own industries, farming and the local engineering businesses that we had grown proud of back before 1970. There is no integrity in the Federal Parliament these days, particularly from the run of treasurers, they are allowing $millions to be built up by a section of the public, but apply as many restrictions as they can think of to place on the working society. This is noticed particularly in the tax system in both the personal tax and business, there has been proved by Harold Holt in the ‘50’s and ‘60’s that a top tax of about 65% was necessary but Harold did not realise that a zero tax on about $30,000 today was needed as well. The reciprocal imports we get from the under-valued excessive exports of the mining resources, has been destroying our own manufacturing industries, a top tax here of about 55% and zero tax on about $750,000 is justified. After all their blunders, the political parties keep finding more reasons to apply more tax, and even though they have devised relief for some, it still means more destruction for many including higher prices for most goods and services.

Amen Merv09.Canberra 12th Aug 2011 or 22 Aug to voice your displeasure.If we don't stand up to them,they will drive us into abject poverty.

Pigs taste good...

not sure about dogs....

May those who want to be vegans enjoy their life and leave me to enjoy my pork, beef, chook, kangaroo, lamb , duck, turkey etc....

btw... I also enjoy eggs from battery farms.... rather than the more expensive eggs in boxes which market the notion that the chooks are "free range"

pretending critters are entitled to or have the same awareness and life expectations as people is stupid.

Of course you can never believe an animal rights activist - the anti-meat brigade apparently bribed Indonesian abbatoir workers to abuse cattle for the video so they could whine and stop live cattle exports to indonesia....

nothing more need be said

Col Rouge said "pretending critters are entitled to or have the same awareness and life expectations as people is stupid."

Very true. But after 20 yrs of this idea being spread on the internet, TV and probably the School system, it WILL be accepted as true, particularly by the young. Its called propaganda. It works every time. Thats why many people, even the very well educated, now think carbon is a poison.
