Dear Scott

I didn't spend the last 200,000 years evolving to the top of the food chain to become a vegetarian.

Well Lego, that required no effort on your part at all, your parents put that effort in, and probably enjoyed the whole ten minutes of it.

But what does need to be considered, is the disregard for animal welfare in some current farming practices, as pointed out in this article!

All those lettuces lined up in a row just waiting to have their heads cut off and fed all us nasty humans.

Singer enjoys the fruits (eg his intellect) of the ten minutes of fun of his parents and the developed State that raised him, provides for him and protects him.

Many of the practical men and women who can be relied upon to provide for the Singers of the world might wonder how this obviously highly advantaged and self-entitled advantaged fellow, with his academic sinecure and privileges to enjoy and for life (his golden superannuation and protection of the society of which he is part do that), would have even survived or if he had, what diminished existence he would have led, had he been born into the lifestyle in caves he would have us all return to.

It must be feel great to be lecturing from on high, from that elevated moral platform, the hard-working herd who provide for thankless, preaching SOBs like Singer.

If he really meant what he says, he would be rejecting all of the benefits of the evolution of mammals and humans specifically and living the herbivore life, while nutting all around him (and himself if he is honest) lest over-population cause hardship to other life forms including plants.

Singer is a very clever wordsmith there is no doubting that. Or else how might he possibly justify a life living like a parasite upon other humans who must work and produce, and be practical, to carry his rear as a load as well? he is one of the sly ones isn't he? One of those who bucket the lesser mortals while demanding for government to raid their wallets to support him (and in the style he deems suited to his statue and well above the 'herd').

But he also requires that the 'herd' provide a salve for his conscience by an 'open door' to immigration and by supporting the products of the 'over-fertility' of fundamentalist and other ignorant women haters who keep their women pregnant and underfoot.

tbc..

Ah...Leo, this article was written by Scott MacInnes...just saying!

If the subject of the article was cruelty of diver dans farming practices, he shoves live homosexuals head first into a mincer on his farm, what would you say to that...blame Singer?

I left the family farms behind after fulfilling the dutiful, back-breaking, risky, poorly paid and thankless (where Singer and others are concerned) roles. I have enormous respect for Australian farmers who do not deserve headmaster cuts from the cane of demoralising nags like Singer.

Where I am getting to though is what specifically are the Singers and other experts here doing to ensure sustainability in the broader sense? Farmers are castigated for the efficiency forced upon them (and challenges accepted), but they are not the ones dumping thousands of new never-working migrants (and their rellies to come!) outside 'Wonderful Centrelink' every year. Also, farmers and Australian business generally are forced to compete with low labor cost countries where workplace health and safety, 'positive' affirmative action 'initiatives' and prayer rooms for the single Muslim on staff, and so on are not a consideration and never will be.

What about the shopping baskets of pensioners and low income earners, young people in the now casualised jobs that may or likely may not be there tomorrow? Will the well off, cosseted academic who says that a human child and the disabled have no more right to life than a dog, be dipping into his pocket to provide cheap protein for the aged and those on low fixed or uncertain incomes? Hell no! That always falls into the category of 'someone else's problem'.

What about some solutions that are practical and operate at a higher level? For example, why are young Australian workers who are themselves putting off having children (and so often too late) being required to fork out millions as aid to countries where women have no reliable cheap contraception nor free abortion on demand? Then the same Aussie workers are required to stump up again for the economic migrants who lob here expecting citizenship and travel back home to import some claimed relatives too.

Obviously Singer is no fool, but he could come unstuck bluffing the public into the vegan lifestyle.
