By Katrina Sharman, published 20/12/2006

Billions of animals are suffering in the US and Australia, but there’s hope in the wings.

I am beginning to wonder why we even continue trying to communicate with Delusional Dickie, READING English involves more than reading the words it requires UNDERSTADING.

NO one has condoned feeding pigs human flesh.

It was first a jibe, now I sincerely mean it Dickie find a psychologist and book in for the next three years.

Yes mankind is capable of terrible things, for Christ sake grow up, start worrying about the things you can change, get a life, get a mortgage, you have some serious issues mate. You really need to do something to vent that intense emotional anger you have stored up.

If you want to preach get elected or start a church.

You live in one of the best countries in the universe. You are one of the lucky few. Stop obsessing. If you lived in Uganda or Iraq you would be suicidal.

Do you have a normal life? Do you mow the lawn, wash the dog, change the oil in the car, prune the roses, wash the windows? I would be surprised to learn if you do.

Is your goal in life to be permanently pissed off and mad at the world?

When one realises that most incidents of animal cruelty are reported by animal welfare groups, community members or past employees, one must assume that any regulation of these industries is a joke.

One wonders how long the disgraceful operations of the pig farm in WA has been occurring and if inspectors are turning a blind eye to these operations? Or do they inspect at all?

In 2005, a guest writer in the Lancet journal introduced a theory that Mad Cows' disease in British cattle may have originated when they ate imported animal feed that included infected human remains of Hindu funeral ceremonies in India.

The authors recommend that further investigations occur.

Since Britain has similar "standards" to Australia, it begs the question: "What are the ingredients in animal feed fed to pigs and other factory farmed animals in Australia?"

Perhaps one can now better understand the transmission of animal to human diseases where outbreaks of infections are occurring regularly with the subsequent slaughter of millions of birds and animals overseas.

I already have two friends (both nurses) who became ill on separate occasions, from eating infected chicken. On investigation, both claim to have discovered that chicken is often drenched in a chlorine solution to resist the increase in bacteria.

Whilst chlorine is used in public drinking supplies as a disinfectant, it is unacceptable to soak fresh produce in bio-accumulative, DNA altering organochlorines which have a serious health impact on the human body. These chemicals are persistent in the atmosphere, are carcinogens (with a long latency period) and invade the entire food chain.

Unfortunately, these inhumane, highly toxic and dangerous practices in factory farming will continue to increase, endorsed by incompetent, colluding "regulators" in their endeavours to "sustain" the economy!

Dickie clean food is a concern for sure but I would be more worried about the lack of health inspections of restaurants etc.

It is common for council health inspectors to have so many outlets to inspect that they are unable to visit more than twice a year.

As for nurses and bacteria, or whatever, what is the subliminal message supposed to be? Nurses being so well trained and aware of micro-organisms that we should be shocked it happened to them?

More cognitive crap from the forum raging Dick.

Recall the studies about MDs not washing their hands? The lack of hygiene amongst medical practitioners is generally agreed as a serious problem. Maybe they brought the bugs home from hospital.

We seldom keep chicken refrigerated for more than 3 days and frequently wash our hands when preparing it. In addition the meat is thoroughly washed first. We eat chicken at least once a week and have not been sick from a home prepared chicken dish in 57 years.

Time to mow the lawn Dickie or are you too paranoid to step outside the doorway.

Hopefully he doesn't ride in motor cars or rant on forums during an electrical storm oooohhh sooo scary. The risks of modern living are simply tttooooo m-m-much, aren't they dearest dream boat Dickie?

Meat Meal, Blood Meal, Fish Meal - all allowed in the australian pig diet - even organic pigs. Why? because it forms part of their natural diet. Just like humans, pigs are not meant to live on cereal grains.

Protein starved sows will go to the extreme of eating their young to get it. If I laid you out unconscious in a paddock of my pigs, they would make pretty short work of you Dickie!
