- W2595490011 abstract "Working on the wheatbins at Mingenew, in the northern wheatbelt of Western Australia, in the early eighties, I witnessed the systematic slaughter of feral cats by high-powered guns. At an age when I'd grown out of the need to prove my passionate interaction with nature through 'the hunt', I found my sanity gradually decaying as my colleagues - aged nineteen through to their mid-twenties - spent their evenings down at the local tip, shooting feral cats and their offspring. At first I went along to be part vicariously of a social happening, an institutionalised element of a rural corning of age. But growing increasingly appalled by the slaughter, I retreated into myself and began the evolution towards a decision that would leave me vegan for life. In the red light of an 'outback' sunset, I still see D jumping up and down on an old car bonnet, driving the cats out into the open, and 'blowing them away' with his pump-action shotgun. I see my co-sampler with his high-powered rifle, picking others off as they break away. These people were military in their operation. It made for good stories at the pub, and was met with approval from all there. Cats were vermin and deserved shooting. Furthermore, they deserved to suffer. Half-dead, swung around by their tails and flung into the rubbish piles. Kittens massacred by twelve-gauge shot. Descriptions of dismemberment accompanied beers. I had to get out." @default.
