And lo, the rain had ceased. We woke up on Sunday morning to a clear blue day, and decided to make the most of the half-day we still had. Because a three hour ferry ride back to Wellington wasn't quite enough for us, we decided to go on a 3. 5 hour boat trip around the bays and coves of the Queen Charlotte Sounds. The boats in the picture were moored near where we embarked on our voyage. As we left Picton, the clouds started gathering once again, but the weather pretty much held. The previous post has pics of the Sounds - though it's hard to really get a sense of what they're like from them.The second picture in this post is of the Interislander ferry itself, getting ready to load up with cars, trucks, passengers and livestock on their way to being brutally slain to feed the insatiable appetites of carnivores both nationally and internationally. The sun shone during our ferry crossing back to Wellington and we passed the time by watching all sorts of sheep shenanigans going on in the back of the sheep truck. Poor wee blighters. I'm surprised none of them tried to make a break for it over the side. Still - a watery grave or lamb chops? Not much of a choice. Pass the tofu please....

Forget about the sheep. Think of all the little Tofuians killed to feed you vegetarians Dad
sheep have no conciousness, therefore the choice of the meatworks or jumping over the side would never occur to them. In fact nothing ever occurs to sheep except eating grass. I lived in a flat amongst a paddock of sheep in plamerston north - they are the stupidest creatures ever. Therefore when they are being led into meatworks, they have no idea they are going to die, they have no idea what death is.
So where's the cruelty? (hey its you fault you started this by the way ..)
Wow, I never knew 'Meals on wheels' were so fresh.
