Should be an executable offense to skimp on someone's lamb chops imo
if you have nothing to cowhide you have nothing to worry about
We can trust absolutely everyone at all 61 agencies to not abuse this in [I]any[/I] way, right? :downs:
I don't know, I feel that this puts a lot at steak
I'm gonna go out on a lamb here and say that this is a bit fishy. Why would they need all that data for something as trivial as this?
this is a really Australian excuse to surveil the populace
How would this data help them on finding the correct weight? It's not like the supermarket will be googling this stuff.
[QUOTE=Passing;49567997]How would this data help them on finding the correct weight?
