Same old tag lines being repeated then? I would have presumed the anti farming campaign would have came up with something new at this stage?

Edit: meant to say that must be the UK then as the main ad agengy here responsible for transport billboards have refused to place such anti farming tag lines on buses and trains in Ireland. Despite Ms Higgins protestations about this - these sentiments on the billboards are her opinions and do not constitute 'information' in any shape or form imo

Can you explain how I saw one on a double decker bus in Galway today so? The bus was travelling towards Renmore.

Photo please!
I'll tell you the above is not Galway anyway!

Maybe it was a veganbus special or a mirage?

Press release from ms higgins

For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World ads

Good stuff ...

Don’t know what was on it. But I’d be willing to have a wager with you it was go vegan world.

So put up a photo. As I said the official statement given was:

For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World ads

Btw the adverts were originally refused because they were deemed ‘emotive and provocative’ and likely to draw complaints.

You appear to doubt ms higgins statement for some reason? What part of the UK was the first photo in if you don't mind me asking?

I don't know what to tell you otherwise!

I’d wager Bradford....seen as it’s actually written on the bus.

I’ll do my very best to find it tomorrow as I’ll be on that side of town & in town again.

I give you my word it was a govegan world advert. I was driving my car & was ****ed if I was going to chase after it to take a picture. It’s was black and had VEGANISM is caps on it.

If I’m wrong I’ll hold my hands up.

Btw was the bus shelter you saw also in the UK

Nope. Two of them were in an area where we live. I looked today and one was gone. Some sports lad on it now.

It was a double decker bus eireann bus.

I asked the Mrs there had she seen the bus with the vegan ad on it around at all....she said yes sure there’s two of them. She was talking about the bus shelters. I said no, I’m on about an actually bus.

She said no, not seen a bus.

A quick Google shows go vegan ads on a Dublin bus so there's no reason for them not to be on a bus Éireann bus in Galway. They were out on bus shelters too over the Christmas. They caused a bit of a stir a few years ago when they first came out but they seem to attract little attention now.

That is not my opinion - I'll quote the press release from ms higgins of govegan world again dated December 28, 2018

For the third year running, Exterion Ireland, the only company that carry ads on bus and trains in Ireland, is refusing to run Go Vegan World

I checked the Google search - there are some images dating 2015 and previous ...

'Bus shelters' were not mentioned in the press release ...

Other than that like yourself- I don't have a clue what the story is ...

Do vegans actually realise shearing sheep is a good thing and needs to be done?

aaakev · 17-02-2019 12:18pm

Look at this monster!

Shearing done right, no harm to the sheep. This is how its done in Ireland. My mate had 130 sheep sheared last time, guess how much blood there was... ill give ya a hint, none.

Why waist this wool? Its a great natural product and is one of the best insulators out there. The price the fsrmer gets goes towards the cost of shesring and keeping tge sheep healthy but letsnot let facts get in the way of the permanently outraged....

So just let sheep now suffer because of what used to be a long time ago? Really? That's nice.

Tar.Aldarion · 17-02-2019 2:14pm

You simply stop breeding the species that have been mutated into breeding excess wool. If there are sheep that are around and need to be helped, they can be, it doesn't give people carte blanche to breed millions of them and then say, oh well they NEED it, I'm just such a good Samaritan.

No - you do not simply stop the necessary shearing sheep or even exterminate a breed of animal because it does not sit nicely with the beliefs of a minority. Sheep are a breed of animal which provides a souce of clothing, milk and yes even meat to many indiginous peoples around the world. Sheep are also responsible for helping maintaining upland habitats and benefit lots of other wildlife. And yes they are part of farming and at the present time, sheep farming appears to be doing well.

I note you advocate 'helping' sheep by shearing in some future scenario but for some reason deny the same welfare in the present when used by those who care for sheep. As for musing on 'mutations'- a little research is a good thing.

(Even) Primitive sheep can be shorn, but many can have their wool plucked out by hand in a process called "rooing". Rooing helps to leave behind the coarse fibers called kemps which are still longer than the soft fleece. The fleece may also be collected from the field after it falls out naturally. This rooing trait survives today in unrefined breeds such as the Soay and many Shetlands. Indeed, the Soay, along with other Northern European breeds with short tails, naturally rooing fleece, diminutive size, and horns in both sexes, are closely related to ancient sheep

It remains that modern breeds of sheep need to be shorn - even where that fleece does not have a market. Theres no 'samaritan' about it . Or maybe the future with modern genetics is one of naked sheep with nylon and fleece overcoats? Would that be acceptable if the 'excess wool' is not needed and is being campaigned against by a small number of interests?

I believe it makes a point.

It remains that ad campaign is to bully people into believing not buying wool will help sheep.

Maybe even attempting to "pull the wool over their eyes' as you will

When the fact is sheep that have to be shorn whether or not their wool is sold or goes into production as clothing or otherwise.

So following that logic and as in the case of farm and other domestic animals (which it had been suggested should all be got rid of thru 'not breeding them') - humans therefore should stop breeding as they are also unnatural and of no use?

Well that's that sorted then. Nobody needs to turn vegan at all - we'll just get rid of the main problem - humans.

You were stating that a species has a ‘use’. None do, it’s an common error. There’s symbiosis, but that’s slightly different.

I was obliquely pointing out that no species has a ‘use’ in the context you imply.

Not an option, we use them so have a duty to look after them which involves shearing. Should we stop breading dogs that need haircuts too??

Of course TA's answer is an option! Read it again and understand what it says:

And to your second question, yes.

You're on a veg*n forum. The prevailing preference amongst vegans is spelled out in TA's response. Reply to that, rather than my sarky answers - TA has far more patience than I.
