I am in genuine awe at the courage, strength and resilience Nikita Hand has shown in taking this case, and in how she dealt with the hearing.
She really is an extraordinary, inspiring woman.

Why are invasive sika + goats being allowed to eat Killarney NP to death by the Irish state?
Great question.
For me, it's a lethal mix of ecological ineptitude at the top of the npws, and a view that the park really only serves to draw in tourists, NOT as a nature reserve.
This dog died on the track in #Dublin on Saturday night.Greyhound racing gets €20 million a year from the Irish government to perpetuate animal abuse.Poor dog, one of many sadly to end up in the freezer at Shelbourne park @MichealMartinTD@SimonHarrisTD#defundgreyhoundracing
There’s a darker side to this beautiful country—one that I can no longer ignore. It’s time to confront the brutal reality of greyhound racing in Ireland and call for an end to this inhumane industry https://t.co/UGUekCiDNk #Ireland#AnimalCruelty
At races around Ireland in the past ten years, at least 3,307 greyhounds suffered injuries and 1,194 were killed. Thousands more are killed behind the scenes every year because they are not fast enough to win races https://t.co/rBpinl02l4 Don't go greyhound racing

The EU introduced rules that hold those who destroy our environment on a mass scale accountable. But now we need stronger national laws to make it a reality in our countries across Europe. Sign the petition to make ecocide a crime #StopEcocide https://t.co/XKvtgDH09F

@agriculture_ie Registered on what database exactly? There is no centralised database, thats the problem!! Do you even engage with your dog stakeholder group before putting out communication like this?
