That's not how that logical fallacy works and is also the Fallacy Fallacy[1]. An anecdote is absolutely proof that something is possible, just not that it's common or even statistically likely. Also, showing that something is an anecdote does not automatically invalidate the claim.
However, frozen meat exports from New Zealand alone is BILLIONS of dollars a year so I have no idea what point you are even making.

you brought up frozen food, I was just stating the obvious, if they want fresh meat they have to import livestock.
but according to this community that's highly illogical, so go figure.

You are clearly highly emotional about this issue. I'm going to step out now.

You started crossing into personal attack already upthread, and here went over to the dark side. Can you please not do that, regardless of how emotional another commenter is or you feel they are? It degrades discussion and of course is against the site guidelines.
