    Good luck fellas

    It's not often that I support lawsuits, but I hope this one succeeds. I doubt it, though.
    In the Herald-Sun today...


    Sheep farmers fight back against PETA 10nov04
    AUSTRALIAN woolgrowers have filed a lawsuit against People for the Ethical
    Treatment of Animals to stop them boycotting Australian wool.Australian Wool
    Innovation yesterday filed two claims in the Federal Court to stop PETA from
    pressuring clothing retailers.
    AWI claims PETA has breached the Trade Practices Act and is seeking a court order to make PETA publish corrective advertising.
    US retail giant Abercrombie and Fitch last month banned Australian merino wool after PETA threatened a campaign against it and called on Australia to stop live sheep exports and the practice of mulesing.
    AWI chairman Ian McLachlan said it was time to set the record straight. "They are damaging the industry," he said. The matter will be heard next month.


    The trouble with this lawsuit is, apart from the fact that it is proceeding in Australia and the real damage is being done in the U.S., merely by prosecuting these sanctimonious, ignorant fuckwits, you are furthering their cause, at least in their eyes. Give these morons a chance to martyr themselves and they'll leap at it. Anything to increase their hold on 'the high moral ground'. I hope they all get flyblown.
    And weevils in their lentils.

    I read that article, Stilt, a lot of it doesn't make sense.
    But then, we are talking about PETA, I guess.
