Absolute bastards..

:mad:

Just to point out that even though the article mentions "local youths" as being suspected for the crime, I don't think they mean 2 or 3 10 year olds. "Local youths" could mean 7 or 8 (or more) 15, 16 or 17 year olds and this could be why local people (who could be old) are less than enthusiastic in helping out the police.
Not to mention even if they where caught all they'd get is a slap-on-the-wrist punishment (as opposed to the banger-in-the-mouth punishment they deserve)

I tend to worry a lot about the type of mind that thinks this **** is amusing.

If only because it is likely to breed.

There is good reason to be concerned. A person who can harm an animal for fun lacks empathy, not just for anmals but almost certainly for people aswell. And people who lack empathy are potentially dangerous, at the very least capable of very anti-social behaviour but possibly worse. Some of the world's worst serial killers (the likes of Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacey and David Berkowitz for example) had a history of torturing and abusing animals before they moved on to killing and torturing people.

Presumably it was done by really scummy, dangerous individuals. Have to say I freely admit I wouldn't be able to stand up to scumbags - for the simple reason I wouldn't want to gamble the possibility of them carrying a knife.

Probably just a bunch of young fcukheads thinking they're hard, and as Dragan said these type of lads are invariably only hard and tough when they're in the group. Single one of them out and he'd probably be shown up for the coward he is. Best thing to do would be take their picture as evidence and call the guards. Sadly even if prosecuted they would probably escape with minor punishment.

Before the last general election, I went through the policies of the various parties and examined their intentions with regard to revision of laws relating to animal rights.

From what I could make out, only the Green Pary had any intentions of changing legislation to give more protection to animals. This included the banning of fox hunting. I voted for the Greens on this premise.

How long have they been power and nothing done so far? Just goes to show that they're just like the rest of the useless bastards in Dáil Éireann.

Was only thinking the exact same thing the other day! I voted for them because of their supposed promises on these issues. What exactly have they done since getting into power. sweet feck all

socialist party's clare daly who I didnt vote for has done more by getting circuses banned in Fingal

Yeah the Queen used to own all the wild mute swans under the Royal Prerogative

Yes. And the reason for that is that the monarchy would traditionally eat them.


Anyway. This sort of thing comes as no surprise to me at all. My office over looks that park. I know only too well the sort of scumbag teenagers that are on the streets here.

They're absolute cowards too... Got in scuffle with a bunch of them only on Friday. They'll always wait until your back is turned to have a go at you and they'll always have to have a lot of their friends around. You see them on their own and they'll cross the road to avoid you.

Plenty of tea and biscuits here if Dragan and Mairt ever want to drop around to my office.

There are just way too many of the little sh*ts who are more than capable of this.

There are more pressing problems than animal rights in ireland. Infact, they're pretty damn far down the list.

Yeah but everybody in government has a job assigned to them(or so we're lead to believe) so while have Mary Hearney "working" hehe on health issues education minister "doing their thing" etc etc why can't John Gormless be doing something at the same time? These issues were stated in their policy as priorities
