An unsurprising result, as is the shinners being on the regressive side of the fence.

#IEpol #Oireachtas #AnimalWelfare #BanFoxHunting

The bill to ban fox hunting in Ireland, proposed by People Before Profit-Solidarity TD Ruth Coppinger, has been defeated in the Dáil.

The bill was defeated by a large majority.

Twenty-four TDs voted to amend the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 to ban the hunting of a fox or foxes, and to provide for related matters.

However, 124 TDs voted against.

Reacting to the outcome, deputy Ruth Coppinger was very critical of Government parties and others who voted against it.

In a social media post she said: "FF,FG, SF, Ind Irel and Aontu vote to keep fox hunting despite 85% opposing blood sports. Not the first time Dáil has been poles apart from population. We will fight on to #BanFoxHunting."

We should #BanFoxHunting.
Put an end to this relic of our colonial past.

The government can't even come out and say they're FOR fox hunting, because they know it's indefensible! Instead they spread lies.

Don't let them keep this barbaric activity. Contact your local representatives

We'll be voting on it tonight.

We should #BanFoxHunting.

The establishment are trying to spread misinformation & distract.

They don't want to outright say they're for fox hunting, because they know it's unpopular.
Instead, they want to scaremonger, misdirect, and hope they get away with it.

Don't let them.

Ban the hunting of foxes with ...

Ask yourself why any of these political organisations would ignore the will of the vast majority of their constituents.
None of them are in a position to do so.
So why?

It is politically and morally obscene not to ban the terrorising of a native wild creature.

Don’t you think?

Listen to the people - ban fox hunting!

FF, FG and SF should drop their opposition to this Bill or at least allow their TDs a free vote on this.

“Occupying the metterforical stalls were a rabble of rabbits, weasels, vermine, badgers, foxes, and miscellaneous creatures who, despite the fact that they live their entire lives in a bloody atmosphere of hunter and hunted, killing or being killed by claw, talon and tooth, are generally referred to as woodland folk.”
