For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

dept of Agriculture, use common sense and stop issuing import licences for exotic animals.

Call for Government to end animal acts in the Circus.

Press Release: CALL FOR IMMEDIATE END TO ANIMALS IN CIRCUSES

AFAR yet again call for a ban on animals in Circuses after a circus trainer was trampled by an elephant today in Cork. Our sympathies lie with the animals who are imprisoned in circuses for entertainment. We call on our elected representatives to use common sense on this issue which is growing more pressing as absolutely no legislation exists in Ireland to prohibit the keeping of exotic species. The Department of Agriculture are responsible for issuing import licences for these animals on request. WE WANT THESE LISENCES STOPPED.
ELEPHANT ABUSE BY THE CIRCUS.
ELEPHANT ABUSE BY THE CIRCUS.


Large Animals like Elephants are literally driven mad by confinement in beast wagons and by chains and prods from bullhooks.
The bullhook had been used by the trainer a day previously when a young elephant in the same circus escaped onto public roads in Cork.

We call on government ministers to show compassion towards animals who live miserable lives in confined spaces and who basically crack under the stress of circus life. Who can blame these sentient beings who are highly intelligent and naturally live in close family groups from suffering terribly from man’s cruelty and use. Elephants mourn their dead and travel 40 miles a day if they are fortunate enough to escape imprisonment by humans.

Menageries or circuses are a relic of Victorian days when we had no opportunity to travel to see exotic animals nor any high- tec equipment to film them in the wild. The public who attend animal circuses are in fact paying to witness abused psychotic animals doing unnatural tricks to escape being beaten by whips and bullhooks. These same animals were used to amuse kids who sat on them for photographs. The circus do not care about risk to humans either as the money rolls in from sick stunts in the big top.

*This current accident happened when the trainer tried to intercept two elephants fighting at Courtney Brothers Circus in Sunbeam, Blackpool, Cork city. Earlier this week, an elephant temporarily escaped from the same circus and shuffled down the street before he was retrieved by staff with bullhooks..

i had a community warden knock on my door asking for dog licences last week. Fine.... little did she know I have 3 snakes including one who is over 9 feet in length in my living room. No licence required there. i could just as easily have an alligator in my bath, with no requirement for a licence unless an endangered species and CITES listed. It is ridiculous to allow any importation of non-native species into this country with no regard to their welfare.
(my snakes are all rescues btw, victims of the exotic pet trade and the best that can be done for them now is to provide them with a safe haven and good care for the rest of their lives. they cannot be repatriated unfortunately..... I have looked into it.)

I've always wanted to say this to a woman . Make sure to put the lid down on the toilet after using it! Or else keep the bathroom door shut. Seriously, snakes sometimes creep down the toilet and end up in the sewers .
