Wow!
Farmers are angry that the state is paying public money to buy land, which benefits everyone rather than give it to them.

We have an abundance of property in this country. It's just in the hands of the wrong people. #derelictireland

If we don't enact the legislation requiring 30% of the Irish EEZ to be designated as MPAS now, there will be nothing left to protect.

Even the fishers agree that the 6 mile ban will not help the overfishing of sprat.
We need to get MPAs in place soon, or we'll have no marine life left in our seas.

Good God! This kind of animal cruelty is being flaunted for the amusement of morans.
I thought this stuff had been cast to the depths of a period in history when we were un-enlightened!
I guess enlightenment has still a bit to go.

She gave birth as she died, slaughtered by the Faroese, who show no mercy.

Again and again, the senseless, barbaric mass slaughter of entire pods - ending unique cultures.

We must not cease to report and share it. They must not be forgotten.

Marine Protected Areas need their own standalone legislation and must be robust, with regulations, enforcement and protection measures. No more Paper Parks!

We are witnessing a broken social contract that the current government has no intention of fixing
There are enough homes for everyone, there just isn't enough the political will do to something about it

Thousands of common dolphins 🐬 are being killed by fishing vessels in EU waters. 🇪🇺

This barbaric practice is dismissively called 'bycatch' by the fishing industry.

The latest international crisis seems to be simmering down while this one which has been triggered, is definitely happening and may kill billions within a few decades, is hardly in the public’s consciousness. But off to work with a smile on your face!

[Blue Planet Society @Seasaver]

Great news coming out of Iceland 🇮🇸 where it seems no whales will be slaughtered this summer. 🐋

However commercial whaling continues in Japan 🇯🇵 Norway 🇳🇴 and Greenland 🇬🇱

We must protect whales, and that begins when we finally STOP THE HUNT.

"If it’s not water pollution, it’s ballooning rates of TB in cattle and the needless mass killing of badgers, mistreatment of cattle during live exports or accusations of egregious conflicts of interest between state agencies and the livestock industry."

Offshore wind farms create protected areas for integrated multitrophic food webs.
They don't kill whales!
