Activists say that sheep don't like being verbally abused

Shaun appears to cope with a bit of bad language, I reckon other sheep can too.

I guess if the Aussies are going to fuck the sheep the least they can do is be nice to them ...

This is a blatant attack on farmers' freedom of speech! [/talkbackradio]

They love a bit of dirty talk.

Or so I've heard.

Well, swearing in sheep would be baaaad. Sheep lie!

Well, maybe if the motherfucking sheep weren't such goddamned bitches all the time, the Aussies wouldn't need to curse out the little cunts so often.

Fucking sheep.

PETA's complaint was more idiotic and absurd than objecting to "verbal abuse" (which curse words are neither neccessary nor sufficient for). They objected even to workers cursing in front of the sheep while talking to other people (not yelling at the sheep themselves).

“The allegation was that bad language was used by an employee on the property in front of the sheep, and that they could have been offended by the use of bad language."

Maybe that is why PETA tends to assume that all animals are more intelligent than they actually are, because by comparison to PETA members, all animals are quite intelligent.

I find it the height of euro-centric arrogance that they assume the sheep speak English.

 

[repoman]

Everyone onows they speak Ebaanics.

What's English got to do with it? The workers were speaking Strine.
