The Absurdity Of ‘Equality For Minority Groups’
Ah yes, we’ve heard it all before: equality of rights!
This came up when I mentioned the absurdity as well as downright cruelty
of allowing Halal slaughter to be introduced in to a Caernarfon
slaughterhouse. “You are entitled to your views” implied a council
worker from the valleys, involved in animal welfare, “but as a minority
group they have to be entitled to theirs. It’s all part of equal rights
and opportunities for minority groups ‘you see!” Such was the reasoning
of this young lass not long out of university who was trying to
enlighten me while words came out of her mouth ‘ten to the dozen’. Well,
when I mentioned to her that such reasoning was not always compatible or
workable in a democracy - where the majority preference should carry –
she asked to be excused and scuttled away. Indeed, she was quite a sweet
young soul; but sadly a pea out of the pod of a system where ‘education
acknowledged’ and promotion promised requires towing the line where
there exists a minimum of freedom for individual thought. Flexibility is
only tolerated within subtly enforced political perimeters.

The nominal Christian majority of Wales: a land frequently referred
to as ‘God’s own country’, may be fully against the ritual slaughter of
farm animals! Yes, but according to legislation, Muslims and Jews can
mistreat an animal in ways in which the nominal Christian majority would
be imprisoned, or heavily fined, for so doing! Well, what an utter
shambles so much legislation ‘brought through the back door’ has got
this past ‘country of the free’ into! Wise folk think things through
from all aspects before they formulate matters of irreversible
consequence; but today we have parasitical simpletons in Parliament –
and some on the Welsh Assembly - who become little more than stooges for
more sinister vampires of the taxpayer who are ‘living it up’ in
Brussels. Yes, and not forgetting those members of the Welsh Assembly
who are little more than crawlers for cruel farmers! I ask: what do
helpless, herbivorous farm animals mean to such folk, apart from money?
If it becomes financially better to keep cows ‘battery style’ with zero
grazing, then why not go ahead and do it? If British sheep can be found
a market through slitting their throats: halal or Kosher style, then why
the delay in doing it? And, of course, these trends of reasoning
pursued, do not end there. They overflow and harm helpless as well as
more vulnerable humanity:
