| The reason why farm breeds are rare - HAVE YOU SEEN THE MEATRIX? | ||
|
Do you think that our Prime Minister or Hugh Wirth of the RSPCA care about the Meatrix?
Sadly, it appears that they don�t care at all. Do You Care? |

Why buy at a Farmers� Market? � A very short story, plus a link to all the Farmers' Markets in Australia.

Acres Australia A great magazine on farming to suit both the commercial and hobby farmer. This magazine covers farming methods that work for us all; in other words sustainable farming for our children�s future. |
Compassion in World Farming � CIWF
If you farm pigs or any other animal, don�t be a pig yourself.
Sadly in Australia the RSPCA does not care about factory farmed animals;
their only concern seems to be puppy dogs and pussy cats.
It appears that some animals are more worthy than others.

National Anti-Vivisection Society
There are some disgusting experiments on animals in the name of science.
A sad reality is that much animal experimentation has become an industry and has passed being a science.
National Anti-Vivisection Society
It is all very well to save our wild animals and plants but all domestic plants and animals originated in the wild. Many of these creatures have no relatives left in the wild or their links are very tenuous and their gene pools are now very narrow. Here are some groups who are dedicating their lives to protecting what is left of our domestic breeds heritage.
