Editorial Note: Arnold the Pig

Last night (22/08/06) on A Current Affair(ACA), there was an article on Arnold the Pig. The owners of Arnold the Pig live in a metropolitan town and their local council is forcing them to get rid of the pig. The story had a live interview with the owner and a group of supporters from the community behind him with placards and signs. The greatest tragedy about the whole issue is the perspective. We have community rallies and interviews with the media about animal rights but almost no media coverage when un-born children are killed in the womb.

This species we call Homo Sapien Sapien needs to wake up and get some perspective. The respect we misplace on animals needs to be re-aligned on the dignity of all human life.
