    A sickening story, at least the poor animal was saved.

    I remember reading in the 'Northside People' last year about pet rabbits that had been stolen and their mutilated body parts were found in a park in Ballymun. Pet dogs had been stolen around the area as well.

    It would take a very messed up individual to harm/mutilate defenceless animals.

    [QUOTE=cesc77;72347040]Here we go again with the yoghurt knitting liberals hijacking what is a thread about disgusting animal cruelty.

    These same do-gooders would no doubt suggest that the offender has had a hard life/is misunderstood and would not deserve 200 lashes and 15 years on bread and water as it would infringe his human rights.

    People who do these acts are deviants,who lack conscience and should be removed from the face of the earth forthwith along with paedophiles and other sociopaths.

    Bloody liberals with their karma crap,maaaan,drives me up the bloody wall.:mad:

    There is only the here and now.Evil should be removed from society like a cancer using the most (cost?)effective means necessary.

    Ps:Bloody Jamie Oliver and his chicken crusade.

    Well I personally don't eat eggs or dairy, or wear leather either and avoid products tested on animals. It's not that difficult. And as another poster already said , it's better to be a little callous than a callous hypocrite.

    There is no in vitro test yet in existence that can eliminate the need for in vivo testing of medicinal products. Have you never used medications of any kind? And if you haven't, do you think this will always be the case? What if you need a certain type of medication in the future and it has been tested on an animal?

    Scumbags should be send to jail for a long time for stuff like that(or have nasty things happen to them), wrong on every level. They must be seriously messed up in the head to do something like that to a defenseless animal.

    Why are punishments for animal cruelty so lenient? Bet if the culprits are caught they will be let go with a slap on the wrist.

    Do you know how much it costs to put knackers in jail?
    In a perfect world, we would have massive prisons, fully staffed and with plenty of room to keep em coming but it justs costs too much and we don't have the money as a society or state. That is the reason you have so many scumbags causing a nuisance to everyone else. And it will only get better because there is a review ongoing to see how possible it is to release more of them early. Saves a fortune getting em out of the prisons you see :-)

    the same kind of people who do this
    What happened next is not for the fainthearted. Those who looked after and rode Shergar agree that he was one of the kindest, gentlest racehorses ever to grace the racetrack. By the evening of the fourth day, although distressed by his new surroundings, he was not badly injured, as O'Callaghan had thought.

    The source said that the two handlers, one clutching a machine gun, went into the remote stable where the horse was being held and opened fire. "Shergar was machine gunned to death. There was blood everywhere and the horse even slipped on his own blood. There was lots of cussin' and swearin' because the horse wouldn't die. It was a very bloody death." It was several minutes before the horse, which was in agony, slowly bled to death.

    And so, the greatest racehorse of the century was butchered in the same way that the IRA killed many of its human enemies.

    But the animals we eat are stupid so it's not as bad. Also, they don't slaughter cows and chickens by tying them to a fence and setting them alight.

    My nanny had a cat years ago that we used to call "scut tail." Anyway, it was her cousin who had rescued the cat...after she had found it tied to a tree by it's tail. Some sick b*llix had tied the cat's tail in a knot around a tree branch and left it hanging there. The most of the tail had to be amputated by a vet...hence the name.

    I hate crying kids, little bastards should STFU. The parents are worse, continuing on with whatever they are doing not caring that their demon spawn is ruining everything for everyone else, whether thats a meal, or like what I experienced, peoples study in a bloody library. Leave the kids at home or in childcare if they can't stay quiet rather than making everyone else suffer.

    Usually things like this do not reach the news. There is a lot of appalling animal abuse. I worked in an animal shelter for a summer. The long-term abuse two horses there had suffered made this act seem trivial.

    I fully agree with a stronger response to this sort of behaviour. This type of animal cruelty is nothing to do with being misguided or socially disadvantaged. People who do things like this are genuinely terrible people.

    Apologies, just thought it was funny and ironic and worth pointing out.

    Your vegetarian friend is a tool. Eating animals is part of nature. There are humane ways to kill animals.

    While you may argue that there are humane ways to kill animals (though who's to say it's humane when one hasn't gone through the experience themselves), not all animals killed for food in Ireland are done so humanely.

    Add to that the animals' lives before slaughter. Are you telling me that 4 months inside a damp, cold barn during the winter months walking and lying and on wooden grills is comfortable and cosy?

    If you think that all animals in Ireland are killed humanely after living a lovely life then, with respect, you haven't a clue what you're talking about. Also, what the hell does "Eating animals is part of nature" mean? It isn't part of my nature.

    OT, if I had the chance to meet these pathetic humans, I don't know what I'd do to them. There's no fixing people like that. If they are caught and not given a custodial sentence, then I weep for the legal system in the North.

    However, I reckon they have more of a chance of going to prison in the North than if they were down in the Republic. The Republic's track record on punishment for animal abuse is downright disgraceful. Animals have little or no protection in Ireland.

    There is something called a food chain. Humans are part of that food chain. We cannot escape the fact we are part of this food chain. And the responsibility is entirely on the consumer to ensure the humane treatment of the animals that form their diets. Free range eggs etc. Non-fresh meat, deli meat, fast-food meat, restaurants etc. are most likely battery farmed animals. But fresh meat, in supermarkets, is most likely to be from a humanely treated animal. My grand-parents have a farm and I know that their cows and sheep end up in the local slaughterhouse, but they are treated completely humanely; large fields, fed good quality grub, milked twice a day, comfortable shelter etc. They end up as fresh meat in the butchers of the nearby towns. People need to pay that bit extra for quality meat to ensure the indigenous, decent farmers are allowed to continue to provide for this market. I'm not one to preach about this but I like to make the effort when it comes to my own meat-eating.

    I have looked up videos on YouTube of battery farms and it is disgusting. I saw a calf get stamped in the head several times, for no apparent reason other than the 'farmer' being a thug. Castrations without a vet, or any pain-killers, chickens cramped into a cage for their entire lives so they can't even move. It is frightening, and people don't realise that this is what they pay for when they buy cheap meat. I know this is OT, but to disregard all meat-eating as barbaric and hypocritical, when condemning animal cruelty, is wrong.

    Anti-battery farming campaigns should be as prevalent and contain the same stigmas as anti-smoking campaigns IMO.
