You are making excuses for Turnbull because he didn’t like the law.

Your statement that farmers are frontline environmental custodians is absurd and ridiculous.

This is exactly why environmental laws were passed in the first place, they have proven over the last 200 years they are not.

Australia has the worst record on earth for mammal extinctions, with over 200 species gone forever and dozens more animals and birds critically endangered and in rapid decline.

It amazes me people like you just don’t get it.

I believe it would be a very sad world indeed without such birds as parrots, kookaburras and animals such as sugar gliders, all reliant on old trees and hollows for breeding. 

That is why these laws were introduced and should be preserved.

Land clearing has to stop.

A good family man has been murdered by Turnbull, a wife left widowed and children without a father, so please don’t make excuses for him.

It is not okay to murder a government official doing his job.

I REFER to Jenny Moxham’s letter “Logic gone to the dogs” (DA, September 27).

She says that even if we ignore live baiting, all those who are involved in the greyhound industry are engaged in an activity that is unlawful or morally wrong because, she claims, thousands of healthy greyhounds are killed because their only crime is that they can’t run fast enough to win races.

Like Mike Baird and Troy Grant, Ms Moxham appears to be very selective about which animals she cares about.

For instance, there are thousands of healthy racehorses who are put down each year or sent to the knackery simply because “they can’t run fast enough to win races”.

Perhaps she wants the horse racing industry shut down because all owners/trainers are complicit in the killing of these horses?

In her very own words, “this industry revolves around making money at the expense of animals and, thus, deserves to be banned”.    

Can she name just one other industry that is not out to make money?

As both greyhound racing and the sport of kings revolve around making money at the expense of animals, does she want both industries banned?  

As this letter may be construed to be a form of “live baiting”, I am hoping that Ms Moxham and all the other do-gooders and bleeding hearts out there, won’t insist that I be banned from July 1 next year.

If they do, then surely logic has really “gone to the dogs”.  

HUMAN sexuality has a purpose. To feel good is not that purpose – at best that’s a bonus.

Feelings aren’t good or bad, they’re merely superficial.

Lower animals have sex instinctively to feel good, having no understanding of the purpose of body organs — ovaries, uterus, breasts, plus hormones and all.

As “rational” animals, humans do understand that obviously the purpose of those bodily attributes is reproduction.

Male and female anatomies are complementary – their function makes them like one body.

Putting that something in the wrong orifice creates disorder, subverting and disintegrating the whole system.

If we must do sex education in schools, these basics should be taught.
