    This video was uploaded to facebook and was discussed on the Adrian Kennedy show.

    Be warned it contains animal abuse.

    https://video.fdub5-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t42.9040-2/33456209_196066424356565_8094514387898859520_n.mp4?_nc_cat=0&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6InN2ZV9zZCJ9&oh=7de207b3791d83f604fbf2e103168d66&oe=5B0703E2


    The woman who shot the video was subsequently attacked with rocks even though she had an 11 month old in the car. All around disgraceful situation. I know people will want to jump on the traveler aspect but this kind of thing goes on in housing estates as well as halting sites.


    Is it time for drastic legislation in relation to horses? Honestly, is there any justification for allowing horses be ridden on public roads by anyone these days?

    Wheres the video of animal abuse?. This video is 2 young lads trying to pick up a sick or exhausted horse its certainly not abuse.

    Abuse could have came before this perhaps but nothing abusive in the actual video.

    Thought this was going to be about someone abusing Travelers.

    The little pony was worked so hard it collapsed on the road.

    Many more soon ran out as they were worried about being recorded and more interested in getting rid of the pony.

    Scum bags really are.

    It's about travellers in the video so I can't really understand the amount that were on trying to drag the story off topic.

    Travellers were the ones that done this and they should be ashamed but saying that they couldn't give a rats ass and like always give us all two fingers and a fcuk you very much.

    That pony is tiny, bet he was exhausted drawing two fat arsed lads around on a sulky in the heat.

    Are the two in that vid just thick or genuinely evil?

    That animal is only suitable only for a (very) small child to ride or just simply as a pet.

    Not tearing around the road with a sulky.

    I have nothing against travellers, in fact i've met some really sound ones, but i have seen some, and i just mean some, kick their dogs around halting sites. It actually upset me to see. I wonder is it a cultural thing

    Did you watch the same video, they try to drag it along by its head and pick it up by its tail, there is clear abuse in the video

    There have been some horrific stories regarding animal cruelty in the South Tipperary area over the last few months among the traveling community

    I would imagine the pony has been ran to exhaustion along the steep hill towards the halting site near the rugby club

    Can you imagine what we don't see? All the instances that don't wind up on camera.

    God knows what's happening to animals on these sites.

    The people shown in this video are the definition of traveller scum plain and simple, weither people like it or not, it is not the minority of traveller people that treat animals like this.

    The way that you worded that question appears to rule out the possibility of replying with a double affirmative!

    If you think that small animal wasn't abused I would hate to see your definition of animal abuse. Travellers a law to themselves or so they think.

    It probably collapsed due to over exhaustion, starvation or dehydration though.
    Poor little baby. I dont know home some people have it in them to just torture animals or people.
    Why dont animal welfare officers do checks at halting sites and remove these poor animals from their possession

    Being a thick, violent, and dangerous psychopath seems to be part and parcel of the modern male traveller experience.

    Time to take the kiddie gloves off with this lifestyle, and recognise that animal cruelty, burglary, domestic violence, and welfare fraud aren’t things a modern democracy should turn a blind eye to.

    Note a hope. The government recently gave traveller behaviour their stamp of approval by grant ethnic status. Now travellers can claim abusing animals is simply part of their heritage, in the same way muslims are allowed to brush off criticism of dhabihah (halal slaughter) as islamophobic.

    It really is ridiculous everyone is afraid of them and then they cry abuse and prejudice when they want something from the society which they dont want to be part of, imagine two non traveller boys had done this gardai would be out looking for them right now
    Are gypsy communities in other countries such laws unto themselves?

    I wondered for a couple of minutes if I should click on the video. Eventually I watched it. While it's not nice I'm used to seeing horses treated like shite in real life. I live near the River Barrow in Carlow. There's a halting site by the river and it's an unavoidable fact of life that if you take walks there sooner or later you'll see horses treated like crap.

    The woman that filmed that is obviously foreign. I've always thought anyone who didn't grow up in Ireland must think it's a backward cesspit of a third world country when they see this kind of carry on with horses for the first time.
