What will happen to all the animals and birds?

Courtney from Loburn

Hi everyone,

This is just an observation and not a challenge, after reading the comments on the Poll for Daylight Saving.

If we no longer eat meat of any kind, drink animal milk or use any of the bi products of animal milk -

What will happen to the animals who supply all of this?

Farmers of all kinds can't and, I expect, won't want to breed, keep, house, whatever they do at the moment, any of these non-productive animals and birds.

So ........

What is going to happen to all the cows, sheep, pigs, deer, chickens, turkeys, ducks etc etc?

Do we just wipe out all of the above?

We can't set them free. There won't be enough land because I expect farmers will have to go back to growing grain etc.

Is there a logical, calm, level-headed, answer to all of this?

Because the next thing may be that the grain we eat is full of chemicals and will also cause many illnesses and death via diseases.

Will people then start arguing for the grain to be monitored or whatever?

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
