IFA uses Cows as props for media stunt

category dublin | animal rights | news report author Wednesday February 27, 2008 13:14author by Laura Broxson - National Animal Rights Associationauthor email naracampaigns at gmail dot comauthor address PO Box 11019, Dublin 2 Report this post to the editors

CONTACT THE IFA TO COMPLAIN NOW!

Hi,

Yesterday, whilst out leafleting, we happened upon a protest organised by the IFA (Irish Farmers Association) outside the EU Commission offices on Molesworth Street.

As part of their protest (which was to highlight apparent ''dangers'' to the future of the beef industry) a number of live cows were used. Cows clearly don't belong in Dublin, let alone at a noisy protest (amplified sound was used). I personally witnessed the cows being pulled and dragged out of their trailers, and they were then tied (by the head and neck) to the outside of the trailers.

No water was provided for the animals (not that they could have moved their necks to reach down for a drink anyway!!!), which defies the Protection of Animals Act, 1911 - where it states that any animal that is confined must be provided with suitable food and water. It also goes without saying that by being forced to participate in the event, these animals were subjected to mental, physical and emotional distress.

We made a number of complaints to the ISPCA , the DSPCA and the Gardai at Pearse Street at the time regarding the matter - but to no avail.

So we are asking that everyone please make a complaint to the IFA:

You can comment on their protest here: http://www.ifa.ie/default.asp?com=ifa&org=&ACT=12&id=62

Submit a query here: http://www.ifa.ie/query.htm

Or email: postmaster@ifa.ie, kerry@ifa.ie, galway@ifa.ie, tipperary@ifa.ie, roscommon@ifa.ie, donegal@ifa.ie, wexford@ifa.ie, cork@ifa.ie, kilkenny@ifa.ie, offaly@ifa.ie, limerick@ifa.ie, monaghan@ifa.ie, kells@ifa.ie, mail@ifabrussels.be

We are also asking that people register complaints, and ask for appropriate action to be taken against the IFA, with:

ISPCA: info@ispca.ie
DSPCA: info@dspca.ie

Gardai: Sgt. Paul Dolan,
Pearse Street Garda Station,
Pearse Street,
Dublin 2,
Ireland.

Thank you for your support.
