So, woke up this morning to the horrific news of Jill Meagher in Melbourne. Police are calling it a “a genuinely random, opportunistic attack”[1] Immediately there are calls for women to partake in self-defense courses and even horribly insensitive suggestions that Jill should’ve accepted the offer of being “walked home” by her male colleague.
You may have heard about the ‘women-only’ art exhibit at the Dowse Art Gallery (which opened last weekend) It’s had a bit of light press over the last few weeks, ever since they announced it.
The Green Party and SAFE have made making a submission super easy, and I suggest you all go and do it! NOW!
Basically, there is currently a code of welfare for layer hens where they are going to introduce the idea of Colony cages, which is just going to another way that we can torture the poor chickens before we take their eggs.
Having worked till the wee hours of the night on my literature review (which will hopefully, fingers crossed, form part of my Masters next year) I thought I’d reformat a teensy bit and post as a blog post… so enjoy…
Wow, this post will be completely different in tone from the other two, been mucking round with Google Sites (as we are using Google Apps at work) and have been super annoyed at not being able to just add a twitter feed!
