So todays news is
The government is considering lifting the ban on live animal exports.
Lifting the ban on importation of foie gras
Lifting the ban on the importation of animal furs.
Lifting the ban on the importation of hunting trophies like dead lions etc.
Apparently the bans are too “socialist”. Since when has the ban on cruelty to sentient beings become too socialist!
I think bans are extreme and also not necessarily effective. It does sound as if some are saying, "I ban because I know better and must insist you only have my choice".
I also think that banning creates illegal trade or workarounds.
Education and persuasion are the ways to change views. Some will still not agree with you, but sometimes we have to agree to disagree.
Well, good luck with that.
So by that logic we should lift the ban on fox hunting, farrowing crates, puppy farms, and so on.
Sometimes you think you cannot be surprised anymore but there you go, it happens again.
I queried whether banning is always appropriate. I'm not keen on dictatorships. Your reply is something I would expect from the far-right.
No Whitewave, because I query a ban on "A" doesn't mean I am pro (or anti) bans on the rest of the alphabet. What an extreme and illogical form of argument. And what a nasty one, to be honest. Puppy farms - seriously?
