4 Aug 2009, 10:45 PM   | Re: Mulesing You can hide this advertisement by registering. Yeah most farms that have SRS breeds are pretty good at pushing the propaganda. There is an element of truth in it, but I'd be wary about believing everything they push. I saw an SRS fleece scanned with a SiroLan Lasermachine, it was meant to be 17 micron and after 3 tests came back at 22 each time. So theyre still open to variation like most merino types. TBH, you'd probably get the same or better results with penned merinos that arent SRS.It kind of reminds me of when people were saying SAMMS and Dorpers were a good idea. |

31 Jul 2008, 7:08 PM | Re: Mulesing Well as they say, rome wasnt built in a day. We have untill 2010 to perfect methods. Theres always room for change, its just a matter of finding the right methods and finding something that PETA and farmers will agree on, in which case we probably wont have an answer before 2010 |

4 Aug 2009, 10:45 PM | Re: Mulesing Fuck PETA, it should be something Australian farmers agree on, in a time frame dictated to by Australian farmers. Worst thing we ever did was pander to those twats by agreeing to their time frame. |

Today, 11:36 AM | Re: Mulesing inevitably something will be done in the future about mulesing because of the nature of the media today however agreeing to a time frame to get rid of mulesing was one of the stupidest things they could off agreed to. Sure, it would be nice to find a cost and time effective alternative management practice to mulesing but banning it within two years will only result in a botchy rushed alternative which may not be the best option. we should have told PETA to of got fucked a long time a go before any of this got out of hand; clearly none of these people have any idea at all, because if they had they would realise that a small amount of pain for little lamby results in a life where she doesnt he doesnt get a bullet because she's being eaten alive by maggots, or lying out in a paddock and just wasting away. All they go on is the blood, and percieved pain. perhaps before they jump to conclusions, they should put up some picutures of the alternative, what happens if the sheep becomes flyblown; like this: http://www.woolisbest.com/photo_gall...lprits_med.jpg yeh, and 'steer-rider', who do you think you are? does castrating a calf honestly make you feel like that much of a man? and anyway, as mountainman said, if you are so pro PETA, then why have a name like 'steer-rider' im pretty sure theyd send you to 'PETA hell' for firstly castrating the calf and secondly, riding it. |

6 Nov 2009, 7:25 PM | Re: Mulesing They sent Pink out on to a farm to witness first hand the effects of fly strike. The worst bit is, she was completely taken-aback because lord-knows the experience with sheep farming she's had while she pranced around defaming australian farmers, but then nothing got done about it. No apologies. Nothing said by PETA. Just a bunch of spastic celebrities getting behind something they have no idea about.

I'm suprised PETA didn't go all crazy about the pollution that could be generated from the clips. When all of the whole mulesing debate started i wrote a letter to PETA and they couldn't even come up with a good reply, just something about cows burping? Totally unrelated. But seriously, only morons take notice of PETA, like our wool prices haven't changed because of it, and the differences between unmulsed and mulsed sheep wool isnt that different.

11 Aug 2009, 6:18 PM | Re: Mulesing personally i think PETA have taken it too far. there is no way that the australian wool industry can heed the 2010 deadline, we have no other options for mulesing, and it is going to be almost impossible to find an alternative before the year is out. it's just crap, but how would PETA feel about hundreds of sheep suffering from flystrike? jess xx |
