Dumb move

Written by 

Never negotiate with terrorists is the mantra of all reputable countries and companies.

So your old mate has to question why Fonterra recently sat down with Greenpeace to discuss PKE imports, and why in God’s name did DairyNZ and Fed Farmers do the same with SAFE over animal welfare? The Hound suggests all this is giving these eco-terrorists and crazy animal activists credibility when their ongoing, outlandish claims against the farming industry – the dairy sector in particular – are anything but credible. Dumb move!
