Rioting quadrupeds. The radical tendencies of the naturally woolen. In short, the uprising of the sheared and shorn -- who seem to be an uncannily abundant species in neolib New Zealand, if not the world, these days.

There you go. I see the pamphlet already: "Long live the armed, tentacled and occasionally feathered proletarian eco-revolutionary struggle against the vicious exploitation of the running human IMF overlords... signed, the Lamm Chopp Collective." The Zapatistas are past masters of this sort of thing. Well, gotta boil me some brine shrimp...
