An article by Natascha Mirosch in the Brisbane Courier Mail on ‘National Vegetarian Week’, is filled with subjective steering such as: ‘most Australians… still have a heavy, meat-based diet’. Heavy? Does she mean like a lead weight? And another beauty: ‘while vegetarians such as…found their way to a meatless diet purely because of a distaste […]

Uranium mining – radioactive waste or cakes of export uranium could be in your backyard soon
March 19th, 2009Imagine if the cargo dumped into the sea off South East Queensland recently was cakes of uranium being exported, instead of 32 containers of ammonium nitrate. Imagine if the recent truck crash between Cloncurry and Mt Isa had also been carrying uranium (it spilled ammonium nitrate), or one of the trains that has crashed in […]
‘Go Green, Go Veg, Save the Planet’ advertising on SBS television
March 16th, 2009At the end of a long day I’m sitting peacefully watching government-funded SBS telly at peak hour (around 7.30pm) and up pops this ad showing a pie chart, with the top third taken up by cows. We are exhorted to ‘go green, go veg, save the planet’, because methane produced by livestock is causing global […]
PETA – at it again
February 7th, 2009PETA are said to want to ban guide dogs for the blind, and they have seized the opportunity to push for a ban on all horse-drawn carriages in Vienna, after a drunken driver caused an accident. I wonder, do PETA members squash flies, let ants and spiders invade their houses, and let ticks, fleas and […]
Evicting cattle from the High Country
August 26th, 2008Eradicating introduced species of animals and plants entirely from National Parks – and all other publicly owned land, including Travelling Stock Routes – is a great theory. These areas belong to all future Australians, so everything possible should be done to ensure that they are kept in as good a condition as possible, for future […]
People for the Eating of Tasty Animals
August 5th, 2008I don’t know how I missed it for this long, but I only recently stumbled upon P.E.T.A. – People for the Eating of Tasty Animals. There are t-shirts, mugs, keyrings and stickers, etc. Well done Mike Doughney, for standing up for free speech in the face of abusive bullying. Check out his excellent website http://www.mtd.com/tasty/ […]
U.N. Declaration on Animal Welfare Predicted
August 23rd, 2007Hugh Wirth is at it again, pretending to be a moderate voice of animal welfare when in reality he sounds more like a fully paid up member of an animal right extremist organisation. As anyone would know who has heard him pontificating on ABC radio in Victoria, in recent years. He was interviewed by ABC […]
S.A. Bans animals under 200kg from participating in rodeos
July 30th, 2007The S.A. Minister for all sorts of things including mental health, is going to give the RSPCA more than half a million dollars for a couple more inspectors, and has banned animals under 200kg from participating in rodeos. This means no more calf roping or bronco branding in South Australia. Gail Gago’s press release: http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/animalwelfare/pdfs/rodeo_news_release_4july2007.pdf […]
