Wohltätigkeitsorganisation ruft nach beunruhigenden Rennvideos von mürrischen Rennfahrern zur Einrichtung einer Tierkriminalitätseinheit in Gardaí auf

I hate these SAVAGES that do this. I don’t care and I’m not sorry. It is not wrong to hate people who constantly harm animals.

First of all, sulky racing is pretty clearly within the remit of traffic Gardaí, especially the kind depicted in the picture.

Second, you don’t need Gardaí to enforce animal law. The legislation is written to allow people appointed by councils. But Gardaí are needed to support these people. What we need is a national animal control department that takes control of local council dog wardens, horse pounds and dog pounds and has Gardaí seconded to it for the more belligerent animal owners.

It’s a rural pursuit in the name of culture don’t ya know, boi

It‘ll come sometime that animal rights activists, having freed all the bunnies from laboratories and all that, creep about fields in the dark like SAS chaps, to shoot these distressed horses rather than see their terrible lives continue.
