While we're on the subject of ignorant hypocrisy, let's pause and consider for a moment all of the people in this Great Nation of ours who own pet cats and dogs. Perhaps the same cats and dogs that SAFE in its annual street fundraising appeal purports to protect.

Hmmm. Pet food. I wonder what that's made out of?

People have the right to exercise freedom of choice if they're that concerned about where their food has come from, or if they are deniers about the omniverousness of humans.

In either case I hope they find their free-range, organic, non-GM, fair trade, lesbian-whale-free, unionised-labour produced tofu burger delicious.

I don't think the point is what happens to animals after they have been slaughtered (I LOVE meat!! And leather) it's really about humans supposedly being the higher evolved species that one may expect to have some compassion or at the least respect for what we wear and eat while it is alive. Yep, I'm a peace loving, tree hugging hippy, whatever. I also treat old people with respect and don't beat children.

Thankyou Trudes- perhaps when you say it -it sounds like sense.

mmmm pork I love it.......both types....

Nah, it's more like everyone has just learnt to ignore my posts.

Don't the meedja just love a beat-up...that's exactly what this is and I don't blame those farmers that gave a firm "no" to Close Up either.

I call bullshit on that line the animal rights types are pushing that "they could hear the screaming from a kilometer away before they even got near". The pigs wouldn't squeal unless there was a reason...if they were truly neglected it'd be like one of the Romanian orphanges where the kids don't cry because they've learnt that nobody cares.

Now, the more important question is, why the fuck can't I get properly cured bacon that doesn't leak white fucking water into the frying pan?

Part of the way I feel about these things is because I used to work as an engineer in the smallgoods petfood and 'protein' industry. - It would turn your stomach to see what goes into anything other than butchers cuts. Petfood- even worse.
I know all the tricks they use to get every last cent out of an animal.

But the issue is how they are treated while they are in our care -that the law says that you can legally torture one spieces
but not the other-it is pure hypocricy

Ha!- I can answer that for you, its because the Needling drums inject 20litres of soy protien and tapwater into every 60kgs of ham and bacon.
you are paying for 30% water when you buy ham and bacon - hows that?!

Your pan isn't hot enough.

Try woolworths deli shoulder bacon. Best I have had. Zero watery gunge.

I'm going to have a pork roast on Saturday with acres of fatty, salty, hairy, crunchy crackling. No vegetables will be harmed in the process.

Good question, the answer is they pump the meat with water to bring it up to weight.
When your buying your bacon & see liquid in the packaging, leave it & buy another brand. Generally the more expensive packets will have a bit less water in them.

SAFE is run by political vegans. Any of their claims need to be taken with several grains of salt as their aim is to sensationalise.

Isn't all of the media the same? Every time I find myself dragged into watching TV there is some alarming bullshit on it that is intentionally designed to polarise one part of society against another. Solution? Turn the TV off.
