Imagine if the Gardai arrived into your house as you sat down to your mother's Sunday roast and took it away. :mad:

Meh, it's not like it doesn't happen every day in farms around the country.
People will eat meat but when they see slaughtering at the neighbour's house they're pussies.

Well you might expect it on a farm, not in your neighbors back yard! I don't have children but if I did I don't think I'd appreciate them being subjected to the galling and blood-curdling screams that goats let out when they are being butchered.

And besides, there's no indication that they were going to be used as food. Why would they kill 5 goats at one time if they just wanted to personally eat them? If they were intending on sharing the meat with others then they would have been breaking a number of laws as animals used for that purpose have to be slaughtered in an abattoir. Then there's the question of what they would have done with the carcasses.. there are very strict regulations on disposing of animal remains in these circumstances.

Funnily enough, they'd be in less trouble if they were in fact performing some sort of ritual sacrifice, as crazy religiously motivated activities like that are exempt from animal protection laws.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be ok for me to post a video of a goat been slaughtered here? No.. didn't think so. That would be inappropriate, right?

Nice. You know how difficult it is to find goatmeat in Irish butchers? Did anyone get a phone number?

Surely you would be horrified by this OldGoat. I mean, they might've been killing your children!

So it's only acceptable to chastise those born in Ireland when stuff like this happens? I'm a bit surprised by the restraint shown by people in regard to this.

I'm a bit surprised that this claim of Ireland being the worst in terms of animal cruelty has passed without question despite having no source, myself.

Happens in my (urban) back garden on a regular basis. Fish, fowl, rabbits...

It's a pretty typical self-loathing type of response when stuff involving people of other nationalities comes up. You can't say anything bad about others because it might be seen as racist.. best to deflect the criticism towards the Irish instead.. they're fair game!

p to the e

Maybe it's the term "slaughtered" that put people off. How about "Kitten tiddled" instead?

Feisar

What's the problem, they were slaughtering/butchering their own meat?

Hardly a story, does the KSPCA rescue all the cattle slaughtered in meat factories around the country.

Feisar

Does anyone know if their actions were illegal?

Seems stupid to start butchering while some of them were still alive, get them all killed first then start cleaning them out.

You haven't seen forms and inspections until you deal with the Department of Agriculture
There is a form for everything

Yes it's illegal

But if it's for personal consumption?

For instance, I can shoot a dear with a simple permit and butcher it for personal use without jumping trough paperwork hoops.

Irish people killed pigs in their back yards until very recently - perhaps it still goes on. The pig would be strung up by its back legs and the throat cut. Bloodcurdling screams would be heard over a long distance. People kept hens, geese and turkeys - they would also be killed/slaughtered at home.

I'm not sure when those practices became frobidden in built-up areas, but anyone over the age of 40 in rural areas will remember them.

Those Africans were obviously not familiar with our laws and customs here. I'm sure they wont re-offend. It wasn't a major crime.

And how are you disposing of the offal waste?

The days of burying dead livestock and waste are over

Have you any reason to think they didn't fill out the correct forms and make proper arrangements for disposal of waste?

mikemac1

Yes, if they had the forms they would have shown them to the gardaí and the KSPCA would not have taken away the kid

And this story would have never made the news

Bring it to the butcher.

hmmm

They had to ban this practice in London because people were slaughtering goats on apartment balconies. Bad enough your neighbour above you doing it without blood and entrails all over your front window and balcony.
