Johnny85 50 Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Lately the Green Party are uping their attack on hunting and the countryside in general, from stopping turf cutting, to attacking gun licenses. Now their main goal is to ban the Ward Union Stag Hounds and to include all hunts in their new puppy farm legislation. This will mean ANYONE with five bitches will be counted as a puppy farm, and will be inspected by vets and must microchip EVERY dog/hound. Please read this below and sign petition. Thank you RISE! Rural Ireland Says Enough! FACE Ireland and the Hunting Association of Ireland have formed RISE! Rural Ireland Says Enough! to campaign at national, regional and local level to mobilise public and political opinion in support of our traditional field sports and rural pastimes. Together, these organisations represent more than 300,000 adherents of country sports. FACE is the Federation of Associations for Hunting and Conservation of the EU, a non-profit making, non-governmental organisation that has acted in the interests of over seven million European hunters since its foundation in 1977. The steering group of RISE! includes representatives of FACE Ireland, the HAI, and the Ward Union Hunt. There are three imminent threats to rural sports: 1. The Dog Breeding Establishments Bill 2009, proposed by the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, is currently awaiting its first debate in the Seanad. 2. The same Ministers Wildlife (Amendment) Bill, which includes a ban on stag hunting, is scheduled to be published between now and Easter. 3. The Animal Health and Welfare Bill is being drafted by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.These proposals represent part of a wider, fundamentalist Green agenda being foisted on people.
