Great Dane hounded over dog meat

Great Dane hounded over dog meat :
"'I don't know her (Princess Mary's) stand on animal cruelty but I'm sure that as a human being she would like to end the suffering these animals go through before they end up on the dinner plate.'

Ms Stephenson called on Australian governments to pass laws banning the human consumption of cat and dog meat."

We need to clean up our own back yard before we start pointing any fingers. What you eat ends up being personal, culturally determined preference and how you manage the killing is the only thing which can be negotiated and depends on the finances available in any given area. We mangle our corellas. We "cull" them but we hire people to shoot them and what happens to some is hideous. We "cull" koalas, we tell people to eat wombats and we encourage people to eat kangaroos. Our "culling" is not always humane nor necessary. It is simply expedient because we don't want birds messing up the car park or the back garden. We are ridiculous when it comes to managing our fauna. We have battery hens which we kill very creatively and we have some interesting ways of managing the killing of cattle and other four leggeds. The pictures have been out and about and around the suburbs. We need to sort ourselves out and the disrespect we have for nature in this country because it's a messy inconvenience. We used to be so protective of our wild life and our creatures. Now we bulldoze everything - heritage, history, flora, fauna and we have too many species on the endangered list. We have been good at getting them on there. Property development means more. Sorry, but I think we should sort ourselves out first. We can't even be bothered cleaning up the Torrens because it's everyone else's problem except ours and people now can't sit on the Torrens and they think it looks awful...and what is that doing to our river life and how are the living things in that river feeling?
