HuntFest is going ahead, despite the cries of opposition of the extremely vocal minority in the town Narooma where it will be held on the June long weekend.
The anti-hunting bigotry that it has generated has prompted hunting advocate Garry Mallard OAM to pen a blog that appears on The Hunters’ Stand that is well worth a read if you’re interested in learning about the depths at which some have gone in attempting to deny hunters a celebration of our cultural right. Even one of the local nuns has been recruited to try to generate anti-HuntFest sentiment.
Below is a brief extract, and you can read the rest here.
HUNTFEST, GREEN BIGOTRY AND LITTLE SISTERS OF THE INACCURATE DECEPTION
Once upon a time, in a more tolerant universe that now seems so very far away, if an individual didn’t approve of an event, a culture or a business, the way to demonstrate that disapproval was to deny it one’s support and patronage. For instance, if one didn’t like the Catholic faith, one went C-of-E. If one didn’t like Folk or Jazz, one avoided Folk and Jazz festivals, and of course if one objected to gratuitous sex and violence, one avoided watching Parliament Question Time on the tele.
What one certainly did not do was seek to stop the event or practice altogether simply because it offended the individual’s sensibilities in some way. To do so would have been considered profoundly un-Australian. In fact, I think it still is.
Enter The Greens, and suddenly selective tolerance and an ‘ends justifies means’ philosophy sprinkled liberally with subterfuge, bigotry and hate-speech, becomes the new community standard. This is not my opinion; it is simple fact, and fact that is borne out in The Greens’ own propaganda.
