Thanks Pigfarmer,

I have copied the link on the 'Animal Welfare' discussion you'll find a very comprehensive debate in the General section.

Here's the direct link:

Bye

Pigfarmer
This is the best step taken by anybody in this country.!
We look forward to supporting you and fellow Free Range Famers in the future. This page has gone dead since the issue of extreme Animal Welfare people was raised.
As you already know that 96 percent of the public eat meat we can only see anti eat meaters using sad stores as fund raisers.

However somebody such as yourself with first hand knowledge of pig farming making such an attempt is truely remarkable and most welcome.

Having spoken with you we know you are interested in the Welfare of All Animals of course not just pigs.

Many people unlike yourself in the public are unaware that our cattle and sheep are no longer walking in padocks but locked in shed cramped together never seeing sunlight in cruel conditions.

Your integrity and common sense approach to pig farming and farming in general is much in demand.

For people who like to know how an animals is treated from padock to plate you are a shinning exampe.

We hope many others will follow in your example.

We hope to hear a lot more from you as a true leader in Free Range Farming Animal Welfare producing disease free and stress free animals.
Animal Liberation have again today disclosed more cruelty to the public in these cruel intensive pig farms.
If everybody! insists! woolworths and others only buy Free Range animals we can make a difference.
So before you buy your Christmas ham or turkey be SURE its Free Range.
Thanks Again Pig farmer

You have all of our support.
