    Good, useful, free, whatever. Once you are committed to
    getting rid of it, the motivations of the giftees become
    pretty irrelevant to you, just so there's no planned
    unethical use.
    I suppose.... :) Certainly wouldn't want to be supporting unethical
    use...
    If there's a substantial chance of such use, the offer
    probably oughtn't be made. I'd not be inclined to give
    someone a crowbar or firearm, but one is one's brother's
    keeper only to a degree.

    Indeed.

    So far it doesn't seem to have lost sight of all of Robert Wegman's
    basic tenets.... and there is a focus by Danny and his girls on keeping quality up, along with sustainability and high nutrition (even if those do tend to be buzzwords nowadays)....
    Sure, they're buzzwords, but so are freedom and truth.
    True, and if actually followed, a good thing... :)
    As are quality, sustainability, and good nutrition.

    I was including those in my if followed good thing statement... :) So
    far they do seem to be actually following... at least one of the girls
    is rather passionate about the sustainability and the nutrition... and
    the quality pretty much flows from that....

    We were talking about the proliferation of Canada geese
    in Christchurch - and how these pests, as in the US, are
    protected, so they are hated and despised by everyone aside
    from the animal rights activists. I'm going, what are those
    people thinking - these are vermin for one and an introduced
    species, thus undeserving of protection for two.
    And tasty, for three.... ;) A certain percentage could be made
    available for dinner, and make probably just about everybody happy... ;)
    The massive silliness people exhibit toward wild (and
    even domesticated) animals can be astounding.

    Much too true... It was a little reassuring to hear from Jim that
    Canada has two hunting seasons on them, and during the season, he's
    allowed 15 geese per day.... with no limits (other than practicability)
    imposed on the aboriginals... :)

    ... Dew knot trussed yore spiel chequer. Missed steaks rebound their.
    And we needn't increase the chance of missed steaks.
    We miss enough of them anyway without trying.

    Indeed. :)
