This letter was sent as a response to a forum discussion on ABC about live export in which someone commented on the new head of the RSPCA. The contributor felt that this person was inserted into the NGO executive to weaken the organisations ability to pursue their charter.
Well said. What we're seeing here is just another example of the "Howardian" subversion of ethical and scientific organisations for whom immediate profit is a secondary concern. These groups exist to take amoral, profiteering industries to task and force us as a society to consider our ethical position in the face of the temptation to abuse the creatures and environment from which we derive our wealth.
The CSIRO, the EPA, the WWF and many other public and private offices for ethical and scientific thought were openly and deliberately infected by Howard's apparatchiks who vetted the output of those offices so as to minimize the inconvenience to the rapacious agenda of that time. Many members of those organisations quit in disgust and despair as a result of the bullying and sidelining they experienced at the hands of those carefully recruited sociopaths managing their workplaces. It was and is a spectacularly effective technique for the taming of NGOs who's charter is to counter the greed-driven feeding frenzy that is our modern corporatocracy.
Why would those same forces not infect the RSPCA at this time of critical reassessment of our moral obligations to the animals we are driving, conscious, through the grinders to our north.
