Sickening. Utterly sickening. We have front line workers in this country using food banks , people who dedicate their lives to doing good โ€ฆ this person will do nothing good. Their position exists because of gambling , their industry abuse and kill dogs for gambling. Disgraceful

@DonnellyStephen It would seem pointless to continue to lockdown towns unless you do something about the meat packing plants and conditions the employees are made work and live in. This will continue to happen otherwise.

Drove the Motorhome for 300km at ~90kph on the Motorway instead of 100kph, saved โ‚ฌ8.2. That's a lot of money. Difference in travel time~15 minutes due to general slow downs off ramps on ramps etc. I don't know why we aren't lowering speed limits during a climate and fuel crisis.

Fox hunting is cruel and barbaric. The people who do it are savages. If people try and tell you there are only drag hunts here they are lying. Fox hunting needs to be banned in Ireland.

This is the moment a fox is rescued after being trapped in a bag and buried alive. After the release of this exclusive footage, filmed by a hunt saboteur, the British fox hunting governing body suspended The Cotswold Hunt. Gloucestershire police are investigating the incident.

Just look at this .. you don't need any context or any "tradition" just look at it for what it is. It's a wild animal, captured, put in a cage, hoisted up in the air, above a noisy crowd ..every fibre of it's being doesn't want to be there and wants to flee.. it's barbaric.

You could also teach them about the thousands killed every year because they are not fast enough or injured or the vet bills are too high.

The man circled in Blue is Blind and had to navigate past all those coaches and Bins the council put on the path for the gig. This was taken at that protest.

Rua loves picking up&carrying plastic bottles that we find on our runs and walks. His favourite are full ones ..which there are a surprising number of thrown away. At the end of the run/walk we bin them. I reckon he recycles about 800 bottles a year ! Get a dog,save the planet ๐Ÿ˜€
