No more oysters, eh? What to eat, now?

That's not what the bill says.

Sentience equates Good Eatin'!

Pigs er awesome eating. Smarter than most primates and tastier, too!

 

[Johnnny]

At least they left the hunters alone

 

[Bar Sinister]

Really? What are they going to do with those 60 million sheep?

 

[Johnnny]

Did I read it correctly or are New Zealand poaching laws harsher than canadas? Ontario for example?

 

[Blackleaf]

Whilst they may be sh*t hot at rugby, the New Zealanders may well be wrong in saying that all animals are sentient (i.e. the ability to experience pleasure and pain and have a parental bond with their young). Maybe our fellow mammals, such as dogs, rabbits and whales, should probably be regarded as sentient but should you describe a slug, an ant or an amoeba as being sentient?

Technically yes. Ants are always on thier A game

 

[Sons of Liberty]

Their livestock should be set free.

I'll be putting some New Zealand Spring Lamb on the grill, and contemplating the sentience of its short, interrupted life.. before i turn my gaze to my navel.

Rent them by the hour to briddish tourists. Just like always.

We should ask Blackleaf what they do with their 60 million sheep over in Manchester.

 

[MHz]

But not Muslims most likely.

Rent them by the hour to briddish tourists. Just like always.

Except the ugly ones, they end up in the soup.

Human origins: Are we hybrids?

Barff hahahahahahahahahahah

And yet there's no end to monkey business.

 

[Bar Sinister]

But they are sentient beings. Wouldn't eenting them be a form of slavery?

We don't have 60 million sheep in the UK. At the start of 2014, we had 22.6 million sheep, a decrease of 1.6% from the year before.

There are about 30 million sheep in New Zealand, a country virtually the same size as the UK in area. The number of sheep there was at its peak in 1982, with 70 million. The country has the highest density of sheep per unit area in the world.

The Top 5 countries with the most sheep. Number in brackets indicates percentage of world total:

1) China: 187 million (15.9%)
2) India: 75 million (6.4%)
3) Australia: 74,721,551 (6.3%)
4) Sudan: 52,500,000 (4.4%)
5) Iran: 48,750,000 (4.1%)
