But Bojack, you did defend the practice. You were more focused on whether it was a PETA style beat-up than the animals rights violation that you strove to justify it .. even going so far as to question what prawns would need with eyes anyway, at least both of them.

And because it's just a pesky animal rights campaign, you won't sign the petition because you don't think anything so trivial an prawns being so commercially over-bred that they become so distressed they require having their eyes removed to make reproduction economically viable should be considered by our decision makers.

Not really important enough is it? You just will ask the fish monger is those prawns in the window had their eyes cut or burnt off.

Thank you for doing something.




I meant in terms of how commonplace this is in Australia (in reference to the beat up)

E.g. mothra, do you know how commonplace this is?

Thats a pretty vague answer. 50%? 60%?

Almost every. I do not know percentages. I don't see why it matters.

Because if its 1%, its not standard. Again its the argument about facts.  I've dealt with animals australia before when they emailed me about the practices at my work and found their facts extremely dodgy.

Pity the prawns. Just let the human children remain in abusive households getting molested and bashed, this is a prime example of Mothras lack of moral compass.

What is your question, Bojack?

Why is it relevant?

Good point, if they cut off both eyes. But again this is an appeal to emotion.



It's actually an appeal to ones sense of fairness and decency as a human being.

Bojack will be returning to us shortly to tell us how he feels about the thing at the end of his stalk being sliced off for commercially profittable reasons.

Because the petition is designed on the basis the practice is widespread. You've said its standard. What does any of that mean?

All of which is emotional. So you agree with me.
