So, let me get this straight. Some (prolific) posters here say that they cared for a bit about the cruelty revealed at Wally’s Piggery, and would have joined in the action, but decided they didn’t like the vegan message being pushed by those running the campaign against it, so they decided not to support it any more.

Incorrect. Allow me to set you straight. Some (prolific) posters here were prepared to join the actoin, but decided they didn’t like the hogwash BS being pushed by vegan extremists, so they decided not to support it.

Well said. Vegans hijacking a worthy cause to push their own silliness – by supporting the former, you run the risk of being assumed to support the latter.

Quite right. After all, all those pigs suffering, well they should choose better people to expose their plight and try to do something about it. Not those silly vegans.

But stand up for your beliefs! Stuff the brutalised pigs! You’ll not support the cause because the vegans are annoying! Yeah! That’ll show them!

Like your style Evan James. If people were 100% fully concerned – nothing would stand in their way.

The thing about vegans is that they believe in Orbs and other such nutty stuff as well. That pretty much guarantees they can’t achieve much in an IQ test.

What the feck are ‘Orbs’???

Those awesome things on the human female chest

Like I said earlier, if it’s possible to live well without animal products (and it is) …

No it isn’t, nutter.
Our species has evolved on an omnivorous diet. Your inability to partake of the omnivorous diet which is all at once natural, healthy and required by our bodies would be best addressed not by the emission of holier-than-thou sermons, but by attendance at the psychiatric facility of your choosing.

I, and many people I know, live very well without animal products. I won’t get into name calling like you – just read http://www.eatright.org/about/content.aspx?id=8357

It’s not possible. Our bodies are designed to be fed from a rung or two up the food chain. We are not herbivores.
You are frail and unhealthy with vitamin deficiencies, iron deficiency, unnatural pallor and depressed immune systems, not to mention the IQ problems caused by stunted brain development due to vital B-group vitamins being absent from your diet. And vegans are even worse.
Actually the worst thing about you is having to listen to you trying to order your Fussy Meal(TM) at the restaurant. Get a grip you complete loons.

The jury is still out on the benefits of an all goat diet though.

At the very least it is a tasty diet…

Never mind the fact that I actually signed the petition and i have sent a letter to my local member advising how disgusted I am. All I refused to do was promote a website full of biased and agenda-pushing rubbish that had very little to do with the cause.

UPDATE:
A few days ago, activists returned to Wally’s Piggery. For the moment, the farrowing sheds are empty – there are no sows or piglets on site. A large number of grower pigs (2-6 months) remain, in the same filthy conditions seen four months earlier.

In the slaughter room, activists found a pig’s head underneath a chair, pools of fresh blood on the floor and cutting table, blood spatter on the walls, blood and fur in the scalding tank, and a new mallet, all indicating that Wally is continuing to illegally bludgeon and kill his pigs, right under the nose of the authorities.

Just shut the place down.

Cruelty is cruelty.

That is all.

The vegan/vego vs omnivore debate isn’t binary. It’s not as though the options are ‘crazy vegan’ or ‘indifferent meat eater’, it’s a gradient. If everyone reduced their dependence on factory-farmed meat just a little (a meat-free day or two a week), the industry would suffer and the message that their practices are unacceptable might finally be received.

Hack mentioned this place in a story on i think tuesday.

Animals are people too!

Absolutely, unfortunately the RSPCA does not share this view and Wally Perenc continues to operate.

I trust the RSPCA more than a bunch of ideologues when it comes to such decisions.

I thought the RSPCA was trying to get a case together to take to the courts?

My own view is that I don’t eat meat, and I’ll only buy free range/organic meat for Mr Poetix. And he has to cook it and eat it in the dog kennel. (That’s a joke. We don’t have a dog kennel.)
