Save the animals; eat a whale: PETA
Australia
Monday, 30 April 2007

PETA's campaign to save the animals has moved from the bizarre to the ridiculous, with the group reportedly encouraging meat eaters to consume whales as it would save the lives of thousands of cattle and sheep.
According to an Australian Wool and Sheep Industry Task Force newsletter, PETA has recently begun re-publicising its 2001 'Eat the Whales' campaign.

Pale People Against Live Animal Exports is outraged by the damage done by PETA and those in Australia that support them.

This is beyond the pale and we are fed up with these extreme groups getting our Australian Farmers off side.

If you are running a vegetarian group then at least be honest about it.
Not that there is anything wrong with vegetarian groups either.

However The fact is Australia is a meat eating country and we `must` work together to find alternatives.

We have for years tried to lead some of these groups in the right direction.

If it were not for the fact we were lucky enough to have a really fantastic CEO of RSPCA in Queensland we could not have made as much progress as we have.

While that progress has taken longer than we had hoped there are positive steps being taken.

PETA and their supporters have consistently for years refused to support our HKM proposal Its simply a joint effort with Muslim leaders of Australia and our organisation who signed a MOU several years ago to create more carcass trade.

PETA refuse to speak with pale or reply to the many letters written to them about this step being taken.
They have 'even" hung up in staffs ear when contacted by phone to discuss this step forward to help animals.

Ingred we assure you we "wont" be bullied.

If people spent less time fund raising and trying to block others taking any steps towards finding an alternative the Animals Farmers and Australian Public would be far better off.

What about Cats? They pretty tasty. Though personally I prefer to eat them when they're still kittens with just a little bit of sauce. Ummmmmmmmm. Kittens. Finger licking good.

Cannibalism is looking better every day.

If we stop eating meat what will happen to domestic animals?
We are actually doing them a favour by eating them otherwise they would die out except for a few specimens in zoos. Its called a symbiotic relationship, they scarifice some of their number to ensure the survival of the species, and we get a good feed, its called the law of nature.

Whales are a sustainable source of food.

The fact still remains that the majority of Australian people care about Animals.
In order to bring about much needed changes we must all work together.
Telling people to not eat meat- or eat whale instead is irresponsible.
It doesnt just effect those who say it it effects `every animal welfare group` working to improve conditions.

It sets everybody back especially the animals.

A message to all Animal Lovers and All Animal Welfare Groups.
Please re consider your attitude for the animals sake.
Make friends of farmers- not enermies.
Work with us as we work together with Muslim Leaders of Australia to increase the carcass trade.


Allow us to drive the trade to ME of Carcass.
Please Join Our Free Range Farmers Support Group.

Look at the HKM web page. Look at the written submission to the Animal Welfatre Senate enquiry and please re consider and support this proposal.
We certainly are willing to work with all other groups for the Animals.
Animals need all groups working together.
I am asking PETA and their supporters to be more understanding of farmers.

Farmers didnt create this problem the Governments and live shipping agents did.

We ask all Australian people and farmers to look at this proposal.

It has been put together working in conjunction with AFIC RSPCA QLD and supported by the NSW Humane Society and it needs everybody to get behind it.
For The Animals.
