Why Seriously Think in Regards Live Export?

Well its emotive and its easy for some folk to be led and misled.

A totally unrelated issue, but this is a good example of how people can be easily misled despite the plain simple facts of the matter.

Some people were getting revved up and loud about what the then impending "New Millennium" was going to bring.

Strangely however, the majority of folk were counting down to the big milestone date of just after midnight of January 1st 2000 as the beginning of the new millennium.

The facts are however quite different than what was popular, it started on January 1st 2001.

At the time pointing this out reactions were worth noting, some rejected it outright, regardless of what was said, some others could see the fault but even so were happy to agree but still kept on with the wrong date.

It was easy to show, we can track back and find the year 1AD and can track back earlier there we can find a year of 1BC. There was no year 0 in between. So the "first decade" of the first millennium AD went from 1AD to 10AD - That's January 1st 1AD right up to and including Dec 31st 10 AD.

The first century went from January 1st 1AD up to and including December 31st 100AD. The first day of the second century was January 1st 101AD.

The first millennium went from January 1st 1AD up to and including December 31st 1000AD.
The second millennium (AD) went from January 1st 1001 up to and including December 31st 2000AD.

This current millennium started on Jan 1st 2001AD and will conclude on December 31st 3000AD.

Its not a big deal, nothing really hinges on either answer correct or wrong, but it was a pretty big milestone date at the time, fireworks, party time yada yada yada...

And still the date was wrong, it was plain and simple and the majority of people got it wrong even though it was a very simple fact in full plain view.

So seriously think, its sadly very easy to be led or misled on not a lot of facts.

In regards to Live Export...I know of no fair and rational person who supports, condones or excuses the stabbing of eyes or slashing of tendons of any animal during the slaughter process. I think we can clearly assume no sane or fair person would be ok with that.

However in addition, no one should be assuming that's still going on. It should be tested.
The images should all be dated.

1. Is the unacceptable behaviour and accurate reflection of what was happening there in that particular slaughterhouse?
2. Is it still happening? 
3. Has it been rectified?
4. What is the current position of that particular slaughterhouse?

At some point, images must be relevant, current and fair representations of what is happening, good or bad.

Images must not be regurgitated to help shock people into maintaining the rage against actions which may or may not be still happening. It shouldn't be continually be revisited like a dog returning to its vomit.

Strongly urge people to seriously think.
