Yes, I do believe the government's rationale for their decision making when it comes to these things should be questioned but these people if they had listened to the government would not have lost very much at all because they were offered fair compensation.
I hate the government too but I feel the "choose your battles" also applies. They tried to say they loved their birds because they were pets. Not a great argument. They're ostriches. They should have just taken the compensation and made a case for why this was not a good thing. They rallied the public for their own heel digging over some ostriches, though I imagine it's all idealism now.
The government fucked up and should back down also but I don't have much sympathy for the ostrich owners because they could have just taken the compensation and not been in the mess they're now in.
I understand you see this as unjust and I would agree but what happens when we actually have a real problem with some sort of disease and the owners choose not to comply because they don't feel the government is just in its actions and it actually does cause public harm? It's one thing to kill the birds, not provide fair compensation and in this way destroy the business and reduce the overall availability of meat. That's a huge problem like in European countries or even here by implementing taxes and regulations on livestock that harms the business. That's a problem. This wasn't it though.
You are correct and very fair in your nuanced view. The larger problem is that you've posted in an echo chamber of bitterness. This site has devolved into mere constant masturbation of anger. Most people who care beyond that are long gone.
Yeah, my last girlfriend was a prostitute. You can probably get her for $300. I didn't care then and wouldn't care now. I dunno who's more of the cuck, the pimp selling his wife or the John paying the pimp to fuck the pimp's wife. All women are whores, so why care?
Actually, for the public health we should give all men access to pussy to buy at fair market value. I did after all recently post about a Universal Basic Sex program where we use taxes to ensure men get laid for the public good.
They were offered fair compensation. Much different than the COVID situation. I still haven't been given fair compensation for the COVID ordeal.
You completely ignored my entire point.
You think this is about compensation?

And who pissed in your cereal this morning?
So if I offer you fair compensation to sleep with your wife, when can I come over next?
