Almost 1 billion of tax payers money spent to prop up animal sports
Not really the modern Irelan the government pretends it is.
Make this an election issue.
Today i fell like giving up.
We have seen the footage of Ispca dog sh*t piled up in paddocks (they have made no comment) and bowls with contanimated water ( again no comment from them to whether its true or not). We have read DAFM vets own puppy farms. We have read Heather Humphreys putting an xl bully ban when we have had 1 death from this breed compared to deaths from other breeds.
We have read a women was killed in her own home by her own dog which was NOT a bulldog in the UK recently. So we know the animal charities and activists are right - owners need to be trained before getring a dog.
We know that not allowing a dog to run in a park causes frustration. We know a dog not being able to eat grass and sniff by touching his nose to the ground, such as a muzzle " can restrict dogs and will cause frustration.
And we know all death fatalities ( to my knowledge ) have happened in the dogs own home or front yard connecting to nighbours yard.
In regards to deaths of dogs, there have been numerous breeds responsible for this. Huskeys, lurchers, greyhounds, staffies, pitbulls, american bulldogs, labradors, cross breeds, and these i have seen in person or video.... theres probably more breeds for that list.
And yet the government could be leaders and demand all dog owners learn about dog responsibility....... but no... Helen Mc Entee Simon Harris TD support Humphries UK strategies.
I dont hear objections from Green Party Ireland Holly Cairns TD Paul Murphy TD Paul Donnelly TD who owns a husky....
The feeling that we are getting played by ALL
Politicians is so intoxicating it smells.
#animals matter.......
Vote for Party for Animal Welfare in general election. The only party that fights and campaigns for animals.
Frankly im losing hope in Irelands ability to see past the BS.
Good work from Lisa OConnor keeping up the pressure on pet theft.
If you have been following the tortured and dead horse in Tramore, i have been pursing this to get answers. Lots of different theories.
But delighted to say gardai have advised they have a definite line of inquiry.
This is a prank call but its too funny not to share.....
A woman adopts a GSD and.....
My thoughts on Xlbully ban. Do you agree?
Im samantha Dooley Party4animal welfare rep in Waterford.
My aim is to focus on some of the worst areas for animal abuse, and implement education to communities instead of judging them for a culture they have grown into.
Im also pursing the dafm, ispca and members of the government to ask why are they dragging pensioners in rural areas to caught when we should be helping these old lonely souls instead of going after commercial animal abuse as highlighted by RTE among other media professionals.
Its time to change this " low hanging fruit model"

Should we be paying for Ukrainians pets to come over? I think yes... BUT a lot of them end up in shelters because of landlord discrimination, which they don't have in Ukraine.
Thoughts.....
Now the xl bully is gone from UK, welcome the next serious breed - Canis Panther.....
What fools people are to ban breeds and not humans....***sigh***
We all should be like this man and tell it like it is... dog licences is a money racket, we are already paying for a chip.
There's absolutely no need for a dog licence. The chip has all our details on it ( or should have )
