Australian Embassy Protest

RE*AC*TOR · 07-10-2005 10:56AM #1

Can someone please get down to the Australian embassy with a camera?

PETA are staging a protest today.

They are the sexiest of all the protests.

But seriously, this is apparantly about better conditions for shearing sheep in Australia. I didn't realise that they suffered much in the process tbh.

We've had the wool pulled over our eyes for too long now.

Shabadu · 07-10-2005 11:24AM

Ann Elk · 07-10-2005 11:29AM

I'm all for free speech but it shouldn't be RAMmed down our throats

Dades · 07-10-2005 11:29AM

monkeyfudge · 07-10-2005 11:35AM

I'll be glad when this is all over so that I'll be able to sheep easy at night.

That's not what I herd.

On a more serious note, who wants to head down the embassy and throw mint sauce at the protesters?

Dellgirl · 07-10-2005 11:53AM

WOW - Not one gag about a horn!! Im impressed

Tomohawk · 07-10-2005 11:56AM

...and then we could burn our Pretenders albums!

lodgepole · 07-10-2005 11:59AM

I wouldn't give PETA the time of day. Scumbags the lot of them.

That video of the treatment of sheep really is terrible.
And what a note to end it on - whoever compiled the final cut of that should get a pay rise or something. Certainly does it's job of shocking you.

*edit* linkage <-- do NOT watch unless you've a strong stomach

PETA are idiots.

They are animals. Therfor they belong in my stomoch.

END OF STORY.

astrofool · 07-10-2005 12:42PM

someone needs to do an Alan Partridge, and drop a dead sheep on the lot of them (In Partidge they dropped a cow on him

)

landser · 07-10-2005 12:51PM

someone should bring a sheepdog and herd them through gates and into a pen.

if the PETA protest is like the one on grafton street , there'll be about 12 people protesting, including a very ugly woman with a megaphone shouting slogans a la,

what do we want?

an end to the exploitation of ovines by the cloting industry situated in the antipodes and in south-east asia in general, failing which, more stringent control of animal welfare by the australian government and her brittanic majesty

when do we want it?

within the next 6 - 12 months as soon as a framework for action which has aviable chance of success can be drafted, debated and enacted, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

or something equally as catchy

Fúck sake, I'm glad their protesting about sheep and not fish or this thread would already be 10 pages of horrible puns.

I lost all respect for Peta (not that I ever had much to begin with) after their recent stunt of handing out buckets of fake blood to schoolkids. It just brought home (noble intentions aside) what a bunch of nutjobs they are imho.
