Light entertainment

homerhop

Decided to pop over to the icabs web site for some light entertainment and see how the other half are getting on. There are some funny as hell bits in there and if ya want a good chuckle here are a few quotes from their letter writing campaign.

IFA asked to clarify its stance on bloodsports
Joe Higgins called on the IFA and the ICMSA to "carefully consider" whether they supported the hunt because farming organisations depended on "millions of us buying their produce".

"What could possibly be wrong with hunting?"
In our letter to the Fianna Fail TD, we highlighted that a majority in Ireland are compassionate, decent people who abhor cruelty to animals. We pointed out exactly what's wrong with hunting

Complaint against Coast's hare coursing content
ICABS emphasised that coursing is certainly not popular in Ireland



ICABS has asked the Minister for Agriculture, Brendan Smith, to stop his Department's sponsorship of a squirrel killing contest.

According to a report in the Irish Times, the forestry service of the Department sponsored a Euro6,500 fund in 2009 which saw shooting clubs being awarded cash prizes for blasting alien grey squirrels to death.......
keep an eye out lads when you are walking in the woods and see men in black suits and sun shades walking about


In a letter of complaint to Fine Gael leader, Enda Kenny, ICABS slammed the party's stance on animal cruelty activities.
We stated: "We wish to convey to you our disbelief that a modern party like Fine Gael is continuing to side with the merciless minority who take pleasure in abusing animals and subjecting them to the most horrendous cruelty.

how many turned up again to protest at the minority rise campaigns?:rolleyes:

I'm seriously beggining to wonder are ICABS a bunch of "agent provocatars" when it comes to genuine animal welfare issues in this country, what with their BS and side-show nonsense that appears to be their "raison de etre":mad:

The verbal diarrhea they come out with at times is unreal:rolleyes:

A serious reality check is needed by all of them, if they actually cared about animal welfare why arent they out to help dog and animal shelters and spending their time to help rather than trying to get rid of legitimate sports

The icab call shooters/hunters a minority yet they cant even get a dozen people to protest:rolleyes:

I know this country is getting bad but where will it end :mad:

Lads ye are playing into their hands.
Every word you write about ICABS legitimises them more, 8-10 on a good day would be the most they could muster. Yet you are giving them free screentime on a highly public messageboard.
They should be ignored unless they are actually doing something that affects you as a fieldsports enthusiast.
By all means campaign against their policies and daft ideology but don't be giving them a platform.
