Someone just asked me: What do you think of the Live Export - TopicsExpress



          

Someone just asked me: What do you think of the Live Export campaign in Australia? Reply: As I have stated before, its a classic example of the problems inherent in the welfarist approach. The campaign seeks to stop animals from being transported by ship long distances and then have them killed in violent ways. The alternative: transporting the animals by truck or train long distances across Australia and killing them in violent ways. The Australian campaign is about protecting the domestic meat industry and often results in racist/ethnocentric/xenophobic statements about the foreign people (often Muslims) involved. The Australian campaign reinforces the idea that it is more compassionate to consume the animals killed in Australia. In short: the Live Export campaign is bullshit. I mean no offense to bulls here.
