The Labour party suffers from a psychosis of not having any ideas of its own from later then 1890. The Conservative Party psychosis is the compulsion to 'dish the Whigs'. That's English politics, says Prof James Alexander.

Hunted Stag chased to exhaustion

category dublin | animal rights | opinion/analysis author Saturday January 03, 2009 00:28author by Bernie Wright - Association of Hunt Saboteurs(AOHS)author address PO Box 4734. Dublin.1 Report this post to the editors

Todays ward union meet at 12am at Cabragh Lodge co dublin.

The Association of Hunt Saboteurs (AOHS) today witnessed the chased stag at 1pm distressed and disorientated on a road whilst trying to evade the hounds. Regulations set by the Dept of the Environment state the stag must have a 2 kilometer or 30 minute head start.
Despite this at 1pm , an hour into the hunt ,the hounds were no more than two minutes behind the distressed animal in Rolestown Co Dublin. Roads were blocked by hunt cars necessitating u- turns of other vehicles and hounds were out of control and ‘rioting’ (hunt term).

‘The stag passed our car and we did our best to keep hounds and followers behind us to let the stag rest. It is so upsetting that minister John Gormley has allowed this to continue, it is legalised anim al abuse.’
Bernie Wright. AOHS
