Christine Rankin is more of a criminal than any of the animal abusers you have highlighted.
she has also
facilitated more crime through being a high-priestess of free market theology and enacting that on the poorest members of NZ society. Her do as I say , not as I do style of management/cultism/indoctrination has no place in a supposedly;y democratic and educated society.
She is also a clear cut Racist and to be sure SK, I detest Racists whether I use my understanding of that word or yours.
earrings and cleavage made no factor in this analysis or reasoning and I do not accept or enjoy the sexism implicit in your mention of this.
I've also been Vegetarian for 20 years, vegan for the last 17 so I'd argue my animal rights cred is as high (or low) as any ones else on here.
you lost me at that... no wonder people roll their eyes at lefties on their high horse
and anyway people who deal with and try and help (i'm not saying her specifically) the poorest members of society don't "have" to be poor themselves or follow their own budgetary advice and scrimp & save to be allowed to do so or to make their advice valid
and the great majority of people in this country who volunteer and do charitable work wd fall under the do as i say not how i myself live credo simply because it is often people better off who are advising those who are less so.
I'm not particularly a fan of Rankin but she's hardly Pol Pot. if you want live in a society where everyone is equal and only the poor help the poor there are plenty of countries you can move to...
