Early April 2017 & Sean Nicholls reports in the rural press about the embarrassing gaff of an Animal Justice Party MP who did the unthinkable. He ate sea food. Here's a link to Sean's article

There's a couple of interesting angles to this. Firstly, he ate some seafood & his own party lay members think he's then lost "credibility". So who led the outrage? The Sydney Vegan Club Facebook page followers. Yes its always funny watching the swarm of savagery of internet indignation light up the screen like a forest fire.
Where noble causes are created out of nothing and villains are named and burnt on the digital stake from the safety of warm inner city spare rooms. How it get funny is the whole Animal Rights thing is such a moral vanguard of utter moral perfection yet the person who pitched the MP in for ordering oysters & salmon has a rocky moral high ground themselves.
Look how wholly indignant they were... "I follow his page and support his posts and the AJP completely. It was really upsetting to find out how much of a traitor he is to these poor fish."
The critic supports the AJP completely, pops a vein over the MPs heinous moral crime and believes the MP to be a traitor to the poor fish...yet he/she works in a seafood restaurant!!!
Its this type of false moral bellowing that needs addressing, where the keyboard becomes the platform for moral judgement but we're deprived of the source of the moral code or law they're using. Yes we all whinge, where it unravels is not just when we become hypocrites, but when the moral standard we use to condemn someone is of our own subjective invention. Its then just a nasty personal opinion at best.
It opens up the Animal Justice Party to a good flood light of proper inspection.
What is so wrong with eating seafood?
What's funnier is the MP even thinks it was only a morsel & he wouldn't do it again. Why not?
Your money, buy whatever food you like, there is no issue.
Why is eating seafood so wrong?
Animal Justice Party is not about justice, its about morally bellowing and pushing the extremist Vegan agenda. Why don't they change the name to the Vegan Justice Party?
