Animal activists bit off more than they could chew this morning when they chained themselves to the killing area of an abattoir at Ipswich in south-east Queensland.
The 12 protesters got a fright when meatworkers took matters into their own hands and used angle grinders to cut the chains off the activists so they could get back to work.
The group had hoped their actions would disrupt the World Meat Congress, which is under way in Brisbane.
Protester Angie Stephenson says it was terrifying.
"The workers, they were standing around cheering and whooping and yelling and making lewd comments so we had to call the police and tell them to get out here straight away," she said.
Police escorted the group off the site and no arrests have been made.
Abattoir management has declined to comment.

Very funny! I think there's a lesson here about dealing with protesters in general.

So these bimbos decide to chain themselves up inside a slaughterhouse. I wonder what their reaction would have been if the workers came in wearing leather masks and carrying chainsaws...

The land of Australia, where men are men and animal rights protesters are targets.

World Meat Congress. Cool.Yeah, is this an annual event?
To: Aussie Dasher
we had to call the police and tell them to get out here straight away "Oh, sure, right away. Would you like us to change out of leather into something synthetic, first?"

"Very funny! I think there's a lesson here about dealing with protesters in general." They should have brought out some entrails and tossed them on the animal rights morons first. Let them stew for about thirty minutes and then butcher a cow in front of them. Tell them that this is just for starters.

I was hoping that the workers would simply do their job and work around them and give them all a serious dose of "never again"!

Too bad they didn't beat the living daylights out of them, like the London oil traders did in similar circumstances a few months ago.
