Fireworks were banned years ago due to the meddling of the RSPCA.

By "meddling", do you mean doing their job of preventing unnecessary animal cruelty and harm?

If they were interested in that they'd be trying to get pets banned altogether.

Yes, because house pets are true cruelty, unlike the peaceful happy lifestyle that feral cats and dogs exist in. Are you suggesting owning a pet is cruel or harmful to them.

I'm suggesting that the culture of pet ownership results in unnecessary harm to animals.

Yes, because my cat, who isn't exposed to ticks, cars, FIV, starvation, random kids, further pregnancies like she was before she was rescued is being caused unnecessary harm.

I must be such a bastard, along with every other responsible pet owner.

Your cat probably wouldn't even exist, and wouldn't have had to have been rescued from further harm, if it weren't for the culture of pet ownership.

What with cats being a notoriously fragile species, that struggles to survive in the Australian ecosystem.

No, but your cat is almost certainly descended from pet cats.

Seeing as many Australian strays are descended from those let loose to catch mice back in the 1800s, I have no idea what you are basing your claim on.

Bring back fireworks.

Even ignoring the fact that fireworks regularly cause dogs to literally die, I'm surprised you would think they are environmentally acceptable either.

open24hours posted:

Do you think it's likely that your cat is descended from cats brought here, not as pets, in the 1800s, with no interbreeding with pet or former-pet cats in the intervening period?

Even if that is the case I don't see how it's relevant. I think the argument you're trying to make is that the suffering incurred by some pet animals is negligible compared to the benefits they provide to their owners, and that the suffering is something we're going to have to accept if we want to benefit from their company. That's probably an arguable position, but it's a separate argument.

Firstly, I have no no idea. Until you can demonstrate my cats lineage, neither do you. Secondly, it was a response to your previous post where you said this:

open24hours posted:

Thirdly, I have only made points regarding animal welfare, never once the benefits to humans. When your hatred of kittens reaches the point where you start making up claims to attack them, then it's probably time to throw in the towel.

I said that the existence of pets enables their suffering.

House pets suffer less (in the vast majority of cases) than feral animals, which exist in their thousands in this country. How about you address issues in the real world instead of some weird alternate reality you are considering where pets aren't and never have been a thing.

It's a truism. I don't see why people get so riled up by it. I'm not trying to take your pets away.

No, not at all, you're just getting butthurt that you aren't allowed to own pretty bang bang sticks because an animal rights group managed to stop something that makes dogs regularly hang themselves.

Now foreign countries get to laugh at our hilarious hate groups

quote:

An infamous far-right, anti-Islam campaigner who helped lead a boycott against halal certification has been caught out ordering from a kebab store which locals claim is halal certified.
Blair Cottrell has been aligned with both United Patriots Front and Reclaim Australia, groups known for 'outing' restaurants and suppliers with halal certified products, believing the practise funds Islamic terrorism.
But on Wednesday, the Victorian nationalist was spotted at Karingal Kebabs in Frankston, south-east Melbourne - a kebab store which locals claim is halal certified.

I've had a good experience with Private Internet Access. If you get a years subscription it costs around 3.50 a month and it's extremely easy to use. You right click and pick where in the world you want to watch Netflix from.

It's not big on my radar, but having lived with proud welfare cheats in sharehouses in the past, it actually makes me quite angry that people (not many admittedly) knowingly do this while genuinely needy people are put through the ringer to receive their meager pennies.
