Another amazing Podcast. It was so relevant to me since I had questioned whether I should attend the protests.  I drove to Newcastle & sat across the road from the protest site & couldn't get out of the car. At the time I agonised over what I actually wanted for the animals. They were / still are going to be slaughtered whether they end the live export or not. Could I go & join the protesters across the road especially since one of them had a Hungry Jacks bag on her lap & she was eating one of their burgers. I drove away glad I didn't stand with them. Now.....other views make me question my decision. Surely ending the misery & brutality that is the transporting must be better than not. Tim said 'if you eliminate a great deal of suffering you’ve done a good thing from any stand point'.  Once again I am totally confused. But this is a good place to be. I seek answers when I am confused. Thank you Roger, Tim, Carolyn, Barbara & Jason for giving me a place to find the answers.
