"None of them actually told me they were offended," he said.

Case closed, me thinks.

Ewe must be kidding me.

He'll not be able to pull the wool over the judge's eyes.

It's like they'll try ram anything down our throats.

Indeed and, no doubt will be fleeced by the magistrate with fines and court costs.

Why did the shearers report him?

Looks like it was actually because of the physical abuse that was being inflicted on the animals. The report plays that down to get the stupid/sensationalist bit to the forefront. Hideous behaviour by the press when the cruelty to the animals should have been the focus.

But PETA took its proceedings very seriously – and even said it wasn't just language that had been an issue, but also included stomping and punching the sheep, the Newcastle Herald notes.
"If foul language were the worst that sheep in Australian shearing sheds had to endure, then no complaint would have been filed," a spokeswoman said.

Not so funny when you realise he was stomping and punching the animals...

They really don't do themselves any favours do they?
So it's OK to slit their throats but don't be rude to them.

Bizzare lot.

Have you seen the footage?

I find it difficult to believe that a farmer would deliberately damage something that earns him money.

Yep.

It was just a small part of a report that detailed unnecessary violence and cruelty. Pretty sad that the media are just running with the language part.

But, it fits in with the LOL PETA angle so I guess it sells papers, giving the people what they want.

People don't want to think about what animals go through to become clothing or food. So just single out one small angle in a report condemning wider mistreatment and ignore everything else.
