Hmm, I always thought vegans a little strange. Now I see they're physically odd too. These photos all show strange cotton wool-like growths on their faces. That old vitamin deficiency gets ya every time.

Have the animals been invited too? I'm sure under Bradford and Fitz they have more rights and freedoms than humans...
Re: Protesters Welcomes Delegates to Meat Conference
The last poster needs to engage brain before fingers. Anyone can quite clearly easily check the Green Party Animal Welfare policy through their website (www.greens.org.nz). The policy goes further than that of other parties in banning the worst cases of factory farming, and the new policy under discussion will go even further (if ratified) by endorsing plant-based (ie vegan) diets as better for animals and the environment. But there is no way the policy advocates giving animals similar rights to humans. That will not happen while we continue to routinely use them for food and research.
