Gotta love all these men coming @JoanneOR_Ox with ‘how would you feel if they lived next door to you’ as if she isn’t from Millstreet where we have had AS/Ref for the past 20 years, who became wonderful friends & joined our community 🙄 #stopracism#irelandforall
🧵Did you know the red squirrel is among Northern Ireland's list of 10 most endangered species.
The native creature, whose scientific name is sciurus vulgaris, has been here since the last ice age but is thought to have become extinct in the 1700s..
@LiamQuaide@GreyhAwarenCork Hobby or because they’re lining their pockets? Of course greyhound owners who take part in coursing would be against the ban. Getting a government wage and the added bonus of government funding for their ‘hobby’
Great news as greyhound racing to end in #Vietnam from March 2023! The closing of its only track - if no more are opened - will mark the end of greyhound racing as a legal industry in Asia.

This is the moment when Irene (now Faye) met her sister Samira for the first time in nearly two years. Irene was saved from slaughter and brought to #HeartstoneVeganicSanctuary where Samira is already living the good life

Huge thank you to @LiamQuaide and @AlanOC_Green for standing up for the rights of our native fauna.
Unsurprisingly @Corkcoco representatives let their voters down. There was great discussion about 1 councillor’s big win though 🙄 #pathetic

Just loved "Dogs in the wild" series on BBC,especially in prog 3,scientist observing Swift foxes to check on their personalities. Surely if foxes are that sentient,what the f@ck are we doing chasing them with dogs, shooting, trapping and snaring them. @ChrisGPackham#FoxOfTheDay

Bloodsports shame Ireland: “The legislators that permit and even encourage this barbarism are as culpable as the ones who pull the triggers or gleefully watch dogs rip into our wildlife” - Read John Fitzgerald’s Letter to the Editor in this week’s Avondhu https://t.co/cZHvvxGuNQ
On Monday Eggesford Hunt killed a beautiful young vixen at their New Year's meet hosted by @TheWaieInn. They can't deny they know about the illegal hunting. The hunt were openly boasting about it over drinks at the pub at the end of the day.

While not native, having arrived around the 12th century, they have long been naturalised and are not seen as an invasive species..
