TRIGGER WARNING- Discussion and videos on animal abuse. One of the strangest and saddest features of the Plymouth Brethren Christian Church is its appalling record of cruelty to animals. From slaughterhouses where live pigs are dropped to boiling water, to using SUVs to ram and run over kangaroos, to the mindless torture of cats, chickens and small wild birds and animals - the PBCC does it all - and apparently takes great pleasure in it. It all started with a great slaughter of pets in the 1960s, when James Taylor Jr, the alcoholic leader of the cult decreed that animals were "unclean" and were used by Satan to take our affections away from God. Within days of this pronouncement, tens of thousands of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds and other creatures were drowned, beaten to death or if lucky, euthanized. Hear accounts from PBCC leavers who were traumatized as children by this callous genocide of pets. Then it get worse... Hear One School Global teachers describe how their students delighted in cruelty to animals, and how they had to bring in speakers from animal cruelty charities to try and help them. Hear how the prominent and extremely wealthy Bruce Hazell tormented birds and rabbits in PBCC priest Oliver Woodcock's backyard. We hear how young brethren attending Bible readings, and actually staying in the house with Global PBCC leader Bruce D Hales would spend the time between church meetings "Roo bashing" including running over and fatally wounding mother kangaroos with joeys in their pouches. Finally, in a filthy mélange of religious hypocrisy, homophobia, political corruption and cruelty to animals, the story of the execrable Roger Unwin's Tasmanian pig farm. We end this podcast on a light note with funny videos and pictures of ex-members sharing their beautiful moments with their pets. link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/kpam18misb353m5g88p4a/Get-A-Life-podcast-on-Animal-Abuse.mp4?rlkey=vsnfw567a5plno6d925y7d6th&dl=0 Link to Cat hit with arrow article- https://au.news.yahoo.com/mount-barker-man-faces-court-after-cat-shot-in-head-with-arrow-35973868.html Article on OSG teacher/PBCC and animal abuse- https://faithschoolersanonymous.uk/2016/06/exclusive-brethren/ Slaughter house articles- https://www.farmtransparency.org/media/41-slaughterhouse-owned-by-controversial-exclusive-brethren-leader-under-fire-corruption-animal-abuse https://www.farmtransparency.org/editorials/331-scottsdale-pork-pig-slaughterhouse-intersection-political-corruption-bigotry https://www.instagram.com/p/C1-v6UXuEpy/ https://www.instagram.com/p/C2CUX58JStA/?img_index=1 Animal cruelty, pet abuse & violence: the missed dangerous connection- https://medcraveonline.com/FRCIJ/animal-cruelty-pet-abuse-amp-violence-the-missed-dangerous-connection.html#:~:text=Animal%20abusers%20are%20more%20likely,as%20having%20Antisocial%20Personality%20Disorder.&text=Those%20who%20engage%20in%20animal,%2C%20and%20drug%2Fsubstance%20abuse.
