Brisbane KFC Demo 27th September

The bitch'll make you pay somehow.

I dunno. I used to raise my own meat of different types, and kill it, and serve it up for food in the family. Cattle, pigs, sheep, whatever moved We grew our own vegies too. I've seen how animals are treated in bulk circumstances. I worked on a feed lot once for a few months, and I will never knowingly eat meat raised in a feed lot ever again. Not just because of the cruelty, but because if you knew what they feed them buggers, you'd keel over.

 

They said that we can't get mad cow disease, and the subsequent human disease from infected beef. But we can. We were trying to work out ways to get cattle to take straight meat meal all the time. We never succeeded, but we got enough in them to cause all kinds of crap, we've just been real lucky. And when several feed lotters get together, the conversation often gets around to how much meat meal have you got your catle taking? And how do u get them to take that much, then swapping tricks on how to do it. Oh. And blood in the feed (back at the feed company), we pouered straight UREA into the food bins.

 

One day, we were building a huge 5 rail fence to keep the srcubbers in from up north. They'd send them down, an we'd feed lot them and send them to abitoir. Anyways, the scrubbers could leap our old yards like easy. One morning we lost about 150 head, all just came out of the shute of the truck, straight across the yard, and up and over, and down the range . That was shit.

 

Actually, when the guys who owned that place came back through the fog with just a few cattle they caught up with, bringing them in on horse back. You could just see them as they rode through the fog, it was like a painting had come alive. A sight I reckon I'll never forget.

 

Back to the story. We're building the yards, and a steer just starts to spin around and around. It did that for 2 days, layed down giving the most moanful of cries, and then died. I was so bloated, I wouldnt even carve it up for dog food.

 

Now was it mad cow disease? Or did it's guts explode? When u put cattle on feed at first, you use a lower grain ratio, or else a gut full of dry feed, and a few gulps of water, and they burst their stomaches and die. It could have been that, but this one had been on for 80 days or so, just about ready to go for butchering.

 

I also have a friend that went to jail for being a speed addict. He was sick, messed up in the head, suicidal for years, left to fend on the streets for himself as a kid, and he's a genuine product of parents that basically just didn't want him. he was a great guy.

 

Anyway, society took him to jail, for things he shouldn't have done; and put him to work making salads for sizzlers. A company that is American ownned, allowed to operate within Australia so long as they employ Australian staff. Good idea? Well the food is knocked up in prison, (at least Barallon jail west of Brisbane has the contract for a lot of sizzlers joints. So they wheel in an American company on the grounds it'll increase employment, and they hire prisoners working as captured labour for 3 dollars or is at 2 dollars an hour?

 

They are allowed to employ American managers apparently, but all the others in those feeed lots, erm...restraunts; are kids hired at pittance, many probably trapped in some "traineeship" that pays nothing and leaves them with nothing to show for their efforts.

 

And they take the Australian money home in wheel burrows.

 

Barallon prison is an american owned (maybe transfered back to state hands now?), and is just a small model on the yank system of prison/slave labour.

 

They have the jails set up in America as sweat shops, doing all kinds of things from assembling fishing lures, to making t-shirts, shoes, vegetables for the local markets... u name it. And just to encouage you to help out these national companies using the human KFC birds; they charge you for your stay in American prisons. And it's cheaper if u work.

 

ANyway, I think there's something in all that, but I'm not real sure what? to tell the truth. Just rattlin on. But I think the birds get a bad deal, but in reality it's indicitive of the way humans are. capable of doing anything to further their own "empire", or whatever the vision is. We'll do it to chickens, kids on the street, and even create an indusrty in america, where they currently have in custody more people than Joseph Stalin, and chairman Moa had jointly. (so I'm told at any rate).

 

Their current rate of incarseration, and the need to fill the work load in these jail/free market ventures seems to remain stable apparently. The guy in charge of al this in California, while speaking of a new "super jail" they just built. (man was it fuckin HUGE), he gave a gaurantee

to the private company building the jail, that he would assure a 95% bed count. That is, it wil be no less than 95% full at any time. So the question begs, what if the crime just happens to be naturally low that month, what will they do?

 

What if all the brainy people that runthe country actually do figure out a way to bring social equality to their bad spots, and the crime is dropped over night?

 

Would a judge put someone to prison where he might not otherewise, if the jail, and a huge city built to service it, for long travelling visitors to see their sons, fathers,etc in nik. Motels, supermarkets, petrol stations, KFC?

 

Or is the idea of some governmental policy actually succeeding a bit much of a strecth of the imagination at any rate?

 

I lost my point...

 

Was it something to do with human nature being the crime, not specificaly the bird cruelty, which is real; but I can't afford more expensive chickens now I have to buy meat, and no longer live in the country.

 

I can't pay more for the meal at sizzlers, or match the marked increase of all the things that prisoners, and other sweat shop enslaved people make for me to purchase.

 

Where's the crime? I mean it's there, but who's to blame? Is it them, or is it me?

 

And then on the othe hand.....

 

rob.

 

PS. When I was young, and probably way more idealistic than I am now, I once held a thought that no one should be allowed to eat meat unless they took part in the killing, dressing and butchering of at least one large animal.

 

When I did it for the firsttime to a heffer. And Imean, when u shoot an animal as big as that (400mks +), and hang it upside down with a tractor crane, you know you've just done something serious.

 

From that time on, I haven't ever looked at meat quiet the same way. it's had more value to it than before.

 

Sorta like when u first start smoking, and you buy a bag, and then one day you're growing your own bud, and although no one will ever notice the time u spent doing some special little thing to them one day, you do it anyway, because it isn't just a bag of dry grass now, it has life, and means something to you.

speaking of bloated cows, once I went to jump on this bloated carcass expecting to fall in, but that didn't happen what did happen was the hugest most rotten fart came out of that cows arse and spat specks of poo on my friends face. You could actually see this fart with your eyes. He spewed for almost 1/2 an hour.

 

speaking of that I've killed alot of things in my time, quite cruely as a small boy. But I dont feel bad, there just stupid cows and chickens, fucking useless animals who would probably be extinct by now without human intervention. But thanks to our discriminating tastes, useless animals thrive. If it wasnt natural to eat meat then it wouldnt taste good.

 

I dont give a fuck if my meats been fucking sexually molested, as long as the person that did it didn't have any dieseases and it tastes good.

RGS...thats interesting what u say about the sizzler meals...

 

Maybe thats why the chain failed in South Australia...they didnt have prison suppprt to maximise their profits..in fact a lot of american chains have failed in south australia...maybe its the local govt telling em to get fucked and take their bullshit convict politics back to Queensland?

 

Me and the missus went to sizzler in queensland...I could have had just salads all night....loved those bowls of jalapenos...them and the sour cream and chips...man they were nice..

 

when I was younger I was a vegetetarian...then a semi vegetarian then started eating meat becuase I lost faith in the causes I supported and the beaurocratic bullshit and infighting which stopped them from being effective....

 

Fuck I felt naieve looking back

:: Why don't ya get off your lazy hedonistic asses and help those chickens?

 

Do something other than pleasure yourselves -

 

And to that ass hole who enjoys eating animals

 

I hope you enjoy putting chickens in your fat pie hole and then shitting them out of your stinking asshole over and over and over. You should erect a chicken grave stone over your toilet -

 

and you are what you eat - a chicken shit!
