Jump To Comment: 1FG couldn't give a toss about animal welfare, as this Orwellian titled "animal welfare" bill shows. Also as shown by them allowing the barbaric fur farming industry to continue to have a home in Ireland, putting us, as a country, on a par with the likes of China in cruelty terms.
If there is a sniff of money involved in animal cruelty, then who gives a shit about the suffering caused to the animals. That's just the kind of morally bankrupt philosophy you are up against with these guys.
Guaranteed they will ram this through, regardless of any protest, or principled speech in the Dail given by decent people like Clare Daly.
There's profit in hunting and coursing, for tourism, and a few psychologically scarring minimum wage jobs in fur farming. And also, their rich 1% friends like riding around in their red coats looking down on the peasantry from astride their horses and probably had a quiet word.
We are now living in a post capitalism feudalist society. It's not surprising to see that our current lords and masters also enjoy acting just like the feudal lords of old, and are just as well connected with the political establishment.
