as i siad I know it not perfect, I use my own eggs as much a possible, which are truly free range, but I cant all the time.  My chooks dont lay enough eggs, largly because they have been brought to such low number by FOXES. We also have cattle on our farm (hobby) which we use as little chemicals on as possble. We dont use nay fetilizer, jsut let the grass grow naturally.

Sorry for branding you as thinking that guide dogs were slave, it jsut that the thought did not come up to a huge amount of oppisiton.

I do my best for the enviroment, I know I could always do better. I also eat a lot of rabbit (I only though kill out if they are not edible) Killing foxes and keeping their number in check is alos soething I do that I think is important for the enviroment. I have seen the damage they cuase to native wildlife and livestock alike. they are truly horrbile creatures.
I agree they need to be dealt with Seb but we need to consider they are a living thinking creatures like us just trying to fill their tummies. I think we are advanced enough to think of a better way of reducing their numbers than heading into the bush with a gun.
Obviously hunting isn't controlling the problem too well as you are still losing chooks/livestock etc...
We had a fox come onto our property and take one of our chooks at night, we since fox proofed the pen (which they are only confined to at night) and we have not had a problem since. Still plenty of native birds around too happy

In my opion red meat is an importnat part of our diet, it's not something we cna just get rid of. I do agree that we eat to much of it. Mabye only 2-3 week. Fish 1 night and veggo meals the rest.

The deer I eat (which i hunt)  is also very low carbon emiting. If I could I would hunt kangaroo and that would also suppment my diet.

Do you think a law should be enforced stopping the procesing of meat? (just out of curisoty)

We made upgrade after we lost out second chook, but basil can be very cunning sometimes. We also find it hard to get foxes on our property, we seem to have much more succses on others.

If their are still plenty of native birds around, then why do we need more nationa parks tongue

Also, when you can fnd a better method for controlling foxes, then go to a scicentest about it.

They devolped the diease mixomatosis (spelling?) for rabbits. That is a trully horrible disease and i will not go onto  the deatails of it, but if you want to what it does just do a google search. Not pretty. Also rember that the rabbits can be alive for days in that state. Its the shooter that puts it out of it s misery.

Regardless of what we think it's unrealistic to think a law will ever be placed to stop the processing of meat.

Red meat is NOT an important part of our diet, there is absolutely nothing in red meat that you can't get from other natural sources...

My bunny died of the myxoma virus. It's not the shooter who puts it out of it's misery, it's the vet with the euthanasia needle.

I suppose you eat tofu? I cant stand the stuff, nor can i stand many other meat supplements. red meat is part of mmy diet and I plan to keep it that way. I belive we can still be envirotmently sustanble and still eat red meat

No I've never eaten tofu either. I eat fruit and vegetables.
