Mark Pearson, will consuming a dog be his next “error of judgement’?. Source: Facebook

Let’s cut right to the chase here. If this post is going to be a TL:DR, then this is what you should take away from it.

Mark Pearson should resign from the AJP and parliament immediately.

For those kept reading, let me ask you this.

If there was a person who has for many years championed ’cause X’. So much so that those who are involved in ‘X’ dread to see this person walking towards them.

Would you condemn that person?

A number of people have contacted me asking about the comment that I made which was screen shot was taken of, and appeared in a recent article on Ecorazzi.com

While I don’t normally get involved in Fakebook drama, on this instance, I feel that I need to because something needs to be said, and it has to stop.

The comment, which is linked below relates to Gary’s vendetta he has against Casey Taft.

A vendetta that is now crossing the lines into an obsession.

An obsession that is getting more hostile with every comment/post that Gary Francione writes.

What are your thought’s on veganism?

Do you think it is an all or nothing lifestyle, where personal purity is the holy grail of veganism?

This time it is over Animals Australia’s use of sports people in their latest campaign.

As is usually the case when preaching to the converted, the truth gets distorted.

Duck Shooting ISN’T A Sport

While the SSAA don’t defend duck shooting by claiming it is a sport, after saying previously that it wasn’t.

The redefining of veganism is gaining momentum. Mainstream media is latching onto faux-vegans to push their particular agenda.

The Guardian, in their recent article, claim that this new batch of vegans are reinventing it.

The reality of things is that they are redefining what veganism is.
