Belly as Gandhi Once said- You Can judge a Nation by the way it treats its Animals.

Not only does this apply to common deceny but also good business business management which further leads to a strong economy.

The issue of Live Animal Exports is not only a moral one but a economic one that effects each person in this country.

For Example Belly you once asked rather angrily what Live Animal Exports had to do with Rudd and China in trade.


The fact is Belly that from your hard earned pay YOU like everybody else is propping up the ceruel live animal trade without even knowing it.

The Government count on the ignorance of the everday person to support the industry that in return makes large donations to their parties.

There is overwheliming evidence available, to illustrate the complex, wide reaching web of economic benefits that the meat industry processing sector brings to the Australian community and economy at large, particuarly within the rural areas.

" Now before you rush in and say, oh heres another thread highjacked by those Animal Welfare people I will remind you we are speaking of Australian people and economy."

Every feedlot that the Government assists in setting up via foreign aid program is yet another diversion of jobs and vaule - adding from the Australian economy and community.

It is assistance that might have been alternatively channled towards building more abattoirs here and opening many factories that spin off from those raw materials creating training infustructure and employment.

You cant have a strong nation when you are forcing your people to send millions of dollars off Shore to the middle east to built abattoirs and factory`s there.

For a strong economy you must have good moral practises right the way through.

This is one of the things I think That Gandhi was refering to when he said=

You Can judge a Nation by the way it treats its Animals.

The thread is not about Australia and its people!
It is in fact much more important than that.
I think it is about the future of the capitalist world we know.
It is about fraud and miss use of trillions of dollars.
It is about some using money that does not exist to make profits the equal some country's gross national incomes.
Even the most Ostrich like of us must be concerned at some level just what could take place in a world that has lent twice the value of homes to people who can not pay for them.
And a world that overnight sees shares drop from $126us to an offer of $2 now raised to $10us.
Australians are no less than any nation concerned for animal welfare, but to claim constantly they are a lessor nation for not sharing some views is evidence of a failure to value others opinions.
