Ah, such romantic poetry Dickie. Now perhaps you can write
one about those cute little piggies etc, who land up as
pork chops on the Woolies and Coles meat counter.

Clearly you still can't get over it :)

Ah there is a Santa> ABW Enquiry to continue

Mind You I dont think they will have the powers without ACCC.

What did I say to you ages ago?
I said the co joint ventures were NOT just about abattoirs and Halal Plants but Halal vegtables too= A huge! demand for them world wide.

Like I said many a time before Yabby its not rocket science to slaughter animals BEFORE they go overseas.

Its also a load of Industry crap that we cant get staff.

We can get staff all right through the GATS system.
The same sytem thats used for EVERYTHING Else BAR abattoirs.

The description Dickie gave of conditions in slaughter houses is correct.

You simply dont care.

Some farmers do care and wont sell their cattle for live export.
I know quite a few .

Your not one= Ok . I get that.

I hate what you do and where you send Animals but I wont stop you or anybody else for a while yet.

What WILL stop live exports is the Muslims themselves as they take more control and involvement of Halal in Australia.

Ho Ho Ho
And look what the RSPCA QLD Santa delivered to pale.
Two brand new computers with instructions to go get Yabby! Ho Ho Ho.
Merry Christmass all

Ah Gertrude, thats good news about the computers, the spelling
might finally improve!

Ok, so the RSPCA have lots of money to throw at a mere
crustacean... :)

Yes Santa game dressed in "greens" this year!
Especially in WA

We pre judged that dirty little trick Rudd pulled with Obrien and Tony Burke.

I would have "thought" Rudd may have had enough of the name but apparently not.

See you in the Senate. Yaba Daba Do!
Ho Ho Ho

THE DOMINION OF MAN

Can you hear them?
Can you hear the ships' sheep crying,
Hear the harpooned whale's scream, dying,
Hear the politicians, that are lying?
Can you hear them?

Can you see them?
When you close your eyes to pray,
Do images seem to stay
Of sheep and cattle herded away,
And goats ill-treated by farmers every day?
Can you see them?

Can you smell them?
The livestock in their filthy pens,
The cattle's blood left in the dust by men,
The slaughter house floor where once life had been?
Can you smell them?

Can you feel them?
When you devour your sheep from the docks,
Can you feel the pens that snap shut and lock?
When you prepare your meat for the wok
Can you feel the pierced eyes of the cattle in the stock?
Can you feel them?

Can you imagine
What humans do to creatures every day,
The needless pain with which the helpless pay,
"For a line in a book of God", some say,
Gives man the right to do whatever he may?
Can you imagine?
