Pink, the singer born Alecia Moore, has joined in with PETA to call for bans of Australian wool because of the inhumane way sheep are treated. This is despite legislation having been introduced to ban the practise of ‘mulesing’ by the Australian government in the next few years. What it amounts to is yet another kick in the teeth to the Australian farmer, who is already suffering because of the worst drought this country has ever seen.
Good on you, Pink. You can sit in your fancy home, racking in squillions of dollars for being a prime, a-grade bitch and capitalising on music you didn’t even compose. But what gives you the right to stick your ugly mug into the economic affairs of another country? What gives you the right to dictate anything to already cash-strapped farmers? What gives you the right to become embroiled in matters you have little or no knowledge of and even then, it is totally subjective. I bet you haven’t spent an hour on a sheep farm, let alone have any understanding of why mulesing occurs or how the industry operates.
I’ll tell you what right you have; absolutely fucking none. And neither do those far-left dwelling morons in P.E.T.A. Thanks to you and your sycophantic cronies, you are sticking yet another pin into the Aussie farmers. How about I run a campaign to stop your music being played because of the unbearable cruelty it causes anyone over the age of 15. Maybe then you will remember to mind your own fucking business.
It just goes to show how sad things have become when the weight of a fucking pop singer's opinion can become world news, with even our head politicians wading into the debate. Sure, Costello said the right thing, for once, when he said he didn't think Australian farmers would be taking her advice too soon.
Celebrities need to be fucking reminded they're only where they are because of us, the listener, watcher and consumer. And if you piss us off enough, you will be forgotten very quickly.

I just feel for the poor farmers who are suffering enough without this sort of crap.
