I very much agree, not only with respect to the utilitarian
consideration of suffering, but the rights-based objection.
This is one major reason I consider the breeding and raising of
livestock, especially in close-confined factory farms,
categorically less ethical than veggie-raising.

huh? You made a qualified statement "especially in close-confined factory
farms" followed by a categorical conclusion. You ought to put wheels on
those goalposts.. >> Stay informed about: Animal Liberation Torpedoes Cormo Cooks Tour Mk2 |

Hard to say, but it's a good bet it a higher proportion than consumers
at large. >> Stay informed about: Animal Liberation Torpedoes Cormo Cooks Tour Mk2 |

========================
Only one small part of what people eat. that way you can eliminate almost
all other of your crops from comparison, eh killer?
Why is it you never compare it to just grass, which is what most cattle eat
most of their lives anyway?

No, you're desperate because you cannot, and never will be able to defend
the idiocy of vegan claims.
Now, go have that nice blood-drenched breakfast, killer.

Both ... That's why the post from "Fran" was signed Berko and written
in the first person. There was no attempt to deceive anyone. Sometimes
Google declares that "there have been too many posts from your
address" and if I want to keep posting I have to use a different name
and ISP. But as a matter of courtesy to the poster, (note that I
observe netiquette even when others breach it by being abusive
repeatedly) I signed as berko.
Like many posters I use anon email as I don't want to be spammed.
As for this topic, I have posted entirely as berko, apart from the
"fran" post which didn't really lend support to a point made by berko
but responded to a troll.
No dishonesty there at all.

So what....
People think that we were the same person although we are from different
parts of Australia and that is far away.

"Every farmer" doesn't use blood and bone... to be organic, the source of

I don't use it... I use composted chook poo and worm castings.

Nothing wrong with killing animals. Treating them like products and
torturing them for profit is what is wrong with modern "best" practice.

Every definition I can find is very vague. It seems it boils down to a
matter of *degrees*. I know that without herbicides it would be impractical
to farm my land.

They have them - they're called "farm management deposits",
where you dont pay tax on what you stick in them, only on
what you pull out of them.
FMDs have 2.5 billion in them at the moment.
You're right in that whinging from agriculturalists is an
Australian institution, but where I think you're a bit wide
of the mark is in blaming farmers for the whinging, when
today its really the lobby groups like the NFF, Agforce etc.
Most farmers coped with the drought fine - as the FMD data
demonstrated.
So maybe we should shoot the NFF and their ilk.There wouldnt
be a shortage of farmers willing to line up to pull the
trigger.

You know, I think you could be onto a winner there.
The NFF annoyed me greatly also with their actions in acting as a cheer
squad for Patrick Stevedores in their attempt to sink workers entitlements
by shunting their workforce into a labour hire company they'd starve of
work and allow to sink to the bottom of the harbour.
It surprises me though that there's anger between the NFF and the
farming community. What's the history behind it? >> Stay informed about: Animal Liberation Torpedoes Cormo Cooks Tour Mk2 |

I don't think so. Glyphosate makes Roundup unsuitable for organic
certification in the US.

If you can't farm your land without poisoning the environment, maybe you
shouldn't do it. I'm curious, are the weeds you are screwing the soil
and water, not to mention Arctic people, to eliminate native forbs or
invasive non-natives following on the heels of monoculture?

The primary target is wild oats. Incidentally, we could theoretically do
much better if we used a "conservation farming" technique, no more summer
fallow, no-till, an air seeder and lots of herbicide. >> Stay informed about: Animal Liberation Torpedoes Cormo Cooks Tour Mk2 |
