CarraghsGem 92 Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 all the people that voted for the ban are fiana fail or green, only a fu ckin retard would vote for them vermin bast@ards again wonder if it would cause any upset if i put a sign up on my door saying NO fianna fail or green party canvassers welcome Hahaha seen a few signs already! There was a picture in one of the papers the other day of a piece of string with some cheese singles stuck to it, the sign said if any Fianna Fail canvassers came to the door they were not to knock but to take a cheese slice as it was their solution a few months back. Made me laugh! I ran John Browne the other day, prick have you a link to that??? It wasn't this one i seen in the paper but the same idea!!

Corkonian 44 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I wouldn't take too much notice of that list to be honest - there were other factors at play there. As we've all found out over the last few weeks Labour are ANTIS - they'll do nothing good for us. I also seriously distrust sinn fein - gormley had to fend off Ó Snodaigh when sinn fein were calling for a ban on 'blood sports' in 2009 - the same year they passed a motion at their Ardfheis for a full ban - all old news but gives an idea of what you're dealing with. Given a free vote with nothing else at stake I'd say you'd get a different picture of who's who - there's a lot of pro hunting FF TD's - but for fuckk sake don't vote for them this time Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sub-Moa 2 Posted February 23, 2011 Report Share Posted February 23, 2011 From the NARGC site LABOUR PARTY IS NO FRIEND OF HUNTING! The Labour Party has set itself unambiguously against hunting and will act against the interests of fieldsports if in government. As all fieldsports enthusiasts will know already, Fine Gael has agreed to support all countrysports and to repeal the legislation brought in by the Green Party to ban the Ward Union Hunt. On the Pat Kenny radio show on RTE today, February 18th, Eamon Gilmore was asked "Fine Gael have given a commitment in their manifesto to repeal the ban on stag hunting. Mr. Gilmore this was hard won and I want to know if in government with Fine Gael will you repeal it?" His reply was "NO I will not". He also accepted the animal rights terminology of calling the release and recapture of the stag unharmed by the Ward Union as a bloodsport. To a query from another hunting supporter regarding the Labour Party's position on fieldsports the following reply came back: "Further to your query to Kathleen Lynch's office, The Labour Party supports the maintenance of the current strict licensing system for hunting and field sports. Yours sincerely Michael Mc Loughlin Labour Queries Team" Labour party candidates around the country have started to go the way of the Green Party position on hunting and animal rights generally. It is now becoming abundantly clear that a vote for Labour will be tantamount to putting a party in government which is no friend of fieldsports and country pursuits. The only way hunting, shooting and other countrysports people can secure their way of life is to give Fine Gael an overall majority. We urge all 300,000 fieldsports people to get in touch with their Fine Gael candidates and let them know how much we appreciate their support and get in touch with Labour candidates and let them know that they are now alienating rural people and will pay the price on polling day. There is no better opportunity than now to determine the future of your chosen sport. Other news on this front: The Greens have published their intentions as regards animal rights and fieldsports in their Election Manifesto. They include: 1. Pass into law the Animal Health and Welfare Bill, which outlaws fur farming and the culling of badgers. 2. Examine the possibilities of alternatives to live animal exports from Ireland. 3. Make it a requirement for all retail outlets to label animal derived material such as fur and/or leather, regardless of the percentage of fur and/or leather in the items. 4. Prohibit the trade in animal fur products. 5. Implement legislation to end the importation of and trade in exotic species. 6. Introduce legislation to ban hare coursing. 7. Make the hunting of animals with hounds an offence under law. 8. Replace the culling of badgers with more effective and humane methods of control. 9. End the use of exotic animals in circuses in the long term. In the short term issue a Ministerial Directive to all Local Authorities prohibiting them from providing land to circuses that use exotic animals in their acts. There can be no doubt but that the Green Party wishes to destroy everything we hold dear as fieldsports enthusiasts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
