A link has apparently been proven between the irradiation of imported pet food and cat deaths. By law, imported pet food has had to to be irradiated, to ensure no pests and diseases are imported into Australia. As pet food is made from the very worst rubbish meat and scraps that can’t be sold for […]

Imported pet food has killed cats so they stop irradiating it, rather than banning importation
June 6th, 2009Farmers and the Emmissions Trading Scheme
June 5th, 2009Steve Truman of Agmates whops it up state and federal farming organisations, for their lack of effort on preventing the Federal Governments nutter Emissions Trading Scheme. I guess I just keep thinking that eventually people will wake up and realise the ludicrousness of the scheme, and that’s it’s simply a bright idea that even the […]
The best way to prevent animal extinctions – farming
May 26th, 2009The recent Swine Flu drama has illustrated exactly what the future would be for many animal species that are currently raised for human consumption, if extremist vegetarians had their way. There is apparently only one pig in the whole of Afghanistan, and it is in a zoo, as curiosity. Pork products are illegal in Afghanistan. […]
Be Veg Be Green Save the Planet! at it again – now in newspapers
May 14th, 2009Yesterday’s free Townsville newspaper, Sun community Newspapers, has a 3/4 page full colour ad from Supreme Master Ching Hai; ‘world-renowned Humanitarian, Artist and Spiritual teacher’ (her words). We’ve seen the Go Veg Be Green Save the Planet! ads during prime viewing time on SBS television over the last 6 months, but in the newspaper ad, […]
The Seventh Day Adventist church have been funding a barrow push for animal rights extremists
May 1st, 2009As long as I can remember, there’s been Sanitarium Weetbix in our cupboard for breakfast. Well not any more – Vita Brits only from now on. Nestle may not be 100% Australian owned, but at least they’re not pushing vegetarian propaganda onto the general public. And guess what, Vita Brits are usually cheaper anyway. A […]
Voiceless – domestic animals matter but native animals don’t
April 24th, 2009The Voiceless website has a dramatic counter on the home page which purports to show ‘the number of farm animals killed in Australia by the meat, dairy and egg industry, since you opened this page’. Perhaps Voiceless could consider a similar live counter that shows the worldwide number of acres of rainforest being cleared minute […]
Australian agriculture’s bad image
April 24th, 2009Quadrant is one of the few genuinely independent magazines in Australia today. Most of our newspapers and magazines are filled with the same old shallow, repetitive, syndicated tripe, ‘advertorials’ and sensationalist scaremongering that isn’t backed up with verifiable facts. Quadrant writers are individual thinkers who are not afraid to disagree with and discuss popular views, […]
Farmers are uneducated peasants who destroy the landscape and cause global warming
April 3rd, 2009In today’s Sydney Morning Herald newspaper Paul Myers, freelance journalist and former Rural Press General Manager, former editor of The Bulletin and R.M. William’s Outback Magazine, has written an excellent piece on the woeful state of the general public’s image of Australian farmers and graziers. Paul rightly points out that the world only grows enough […]
National Vegetarian Week & How does being vegetarian save the planet?
April 1st, 2009An 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 […]
