Postbag Protest!

Punk
"Miss Hall suggests that the large number of young people on the NZAVS march was somehow a point against it. To my mind it is a good thing that the young are aware of issues that concern the world which they will inherit."
- J.M. Mother of a Punk, Wgn.
"Spiky hair - grey hair - long hair - short hair - so what!"
- L.R. Punk. Chch.
"Is Hall trying to tell us that Mike (Lamburger) Moore, SAFE Patron and live sheep exporter - is a vegan and wears rope sandals?"
- F.T. Wgn.
"Perhaps if Ms Hall had looked closely she would have seen large numbers of Punks with non-spiky hair and canvas boots. Veganism is not the issue vivisection is!"
- C.M. Wgn.
"Why doesn't she attack the vivisectors?"
- R.S. Palmerston North.
"Instead of criticising our march from her SAFE vantage point one would think she would have gratefully joined it."
- C.F., Punk, Wgn.
"I am at a loss to understand how one's hairstyle prohibits one from protesting the medical invalidity of vivisection."
- S.C. Wgn.
