*Rest assured Yabby your own Armageddon is nigh.
But your time is nigh and we shall rejoice - hallelujah hallelujah.*

Ah Dickie, you sound just like those JWs who come knocking on
my door! Yours is the same religious fervour, just a different
song sheet that you sing from. Just as fanatical as BD and
his ilk. yawn Extremists are extremists, nothing changes.

Gertrude, there is lots going on in the meat industy that you
clearly don't know about and I don't bother to tell you.
You girls are quite happy creating your little strawman
scenarios and then arguing about them, ok, it keeps you
happy and occupied. Dickie goes to bed each night, feeling
content that she has told us so called evil people what she
thinks, she got it off her chest and now feels better. All
very good therapy for her at her age :)

The reality of the industry is quite complex, lots of political
discussions going on at the moment about automation, EPA laws,
livestock values and many other things. Ripper has just told
us that our WA economy in fact grew at 7%, the tourism places
can't even find staff to serve tourists a cup of coffee!

Fertiliser prices have basically doubled in the last 2 years,
so I think alot of people will bail out of livestock, where
they are losing money and grow more crops. We'll see, given
that there is now a link between energy for cars and people.
The US has just approved far more ethanol production for future
years, lots is likely to change here because of that.

We live in changing times, but certainly your notions of rushing
out to reopen plants which don't exist in WA, are clearly flawed.
Its pointless to even explain these things, its like water off
a ducks back lol. Your have your set little notions of how you
think the world is and no matter what I say, nothing will
change those.

Thanks for that TarynW

I am hoping to hear shortly from the Islamic Institute, which I contacted again, requesting a translation to English in their correspondence.

So Australia's down from 100 million sheep to 91 million, according to the MLA.

It's no wonder when 120,000 sheep or goats are crammed onto each ship of shame for the Hajj Blood Bath where these charmers slaughter and devour around 2 million animals:

Dickie, I remind you that Australians slaughter and devour tens
of millions of chickens, ducks, turkeys, sheep, cattle, pigs,
goats, kangaroos, rabbits, crocs, etc. Get over it.

DEATH SHIP
(by Jenny Moxham)

When they sailed away from Devonport and left Australia's shore,
'Twas as well the 50,000 sheep knew not what lay in store.
The ship, the Al Messilah, was headed for Kuwait,
Her hapless cargo destined for a cruel and gruesome fate.

Three weeks or more they'd spend at sea in a cramped and tiny space,
Where many a sheep would die before they reached that foreign place.
Three weeks in a stifling putrid pen in ammonia laden air,
That would aggravate and blind the eyes, the pain beyond compare.

And when they finally reached the port and stood on land once more,
Their joy would quickly turn to dread at the sounds and sights they saw.
Strange men with sticks would beat them and would tie their legs together,
And lock them in the boots of cars in searing, scorching weather.

And some of them would die in pens, the heat too much to stand,
So different from the climate of their temperate southern land,
And others sent to slaughter would be thrown down side by side,
To await their agonizing death in terror, bound and tied.

Each one would see the ones ahead receive their cut of death,
Convulsing as they choked on blood and struggling for breath,
Each one that sailed from Devonport would meet a fearsome fate,
Each sheep upon that Ship of Death now headed for Kuwait.

In February 2006, 50,000 sheep left Devonport bound for Kuwait. Protesters in dinghies and kayaks attempted to block the ships entry to the port and painted the words "Death Ship on the side of the vessel

The Slaughtermen of Bassatin


The slaughtermen of Bassatin

Were brandishing their knives.

The slaughtermen of Bassatin

Were bent on taking lives.

They cut the cattle's tendons

And ignored their anguished cries,

The torturemen of Bassatin

Then stabbed them in the eyes.

In the Bassatin slaughterhouse in Egypt, slaughtermen disable cattle by cutting the tendons of their legs then plunging a long knife through the eye which then serves as a handle to jerk the animals head around for ritual slaughte
