THE protesters whose threats have forced exotic meats to be removed from the menu at the Sun Inn in Lydiard Millicent are among the cowardly enemies of freedom.

We are all entitled to hold opinions about the rights or wrongs of serving kangaroo, crocodile, or, for that matter, pig or fish, and to find it distasteful, but as long as the more exotic creatures are not farmed any more cruelly than conventional food animals, there is no reason for them to be singled out.

And there is no justification for a small minority removing choice from the majority.
