I agree, it's a generalization, which is generally what happens when an overwhelming proportion of any group act or behave in a certain way. If your nose is clean good for you, maybe you could teach some manners and etiquette to the idiots. Certainly seems to be familiar enough to strike a chord.

** waiting for "all dairy farmers are animal abusing environmental terrorists" comeback **

That sort of carry on is crap and I don't condone it however, it is a generalisation from your point of view and your area. It is not representative of the vast majority in my experience. I'm not going to slag the dairy farming community because once again, most are following best practice and care for their animals. Don't bring everyone here down due to your bad experience. Let us have a yarn about the upcoming weekend without yet another thread turning into a shit fight.
