Jordan Peterson should make his mind up about Christianity, critics say. Prof James Alexander disagrees: he's a profound Jungian explorer who wants to help a secularised world see why Christianity still matters.

Fianna Fail endorse phase out of fur factory farms in PFG. Now the work begins.

category international | animal rights | news report author Thursday October 15, 2009 13:03author by ALiberation - ALiberationauthor email aliberationnow at gmail dot comauthor phone 086 3203643 Report this post to the editors

Now the work begins

Fianna Fail endorse phase out of fur factory farms in PFG. Now the work begins.

On the 12th of Oct Fianna Fail’s parliamentary party endorsed the revised Program for Government which was already approved by the Green Party on the 10th Oct 2009.
This includes the phase out of fur factory farming.

This is welcome news and credit must go to the Green Party for including this issue.
This is a big step but is far from a final step. The hard work doubles from here on.
The Program for Government set out the conditions which the Green Party will stay in a coalition government with Fianna Fail and some independent TD’s.
However, what is in the Program for Government does not mean it is legislation. For example if the government collapses in the next 6 months, then the Program for Government will follow the Green Party out of government.

The Green Party has lived up to their word so far on these issues by including them in the Program for Government and importantly the Greens will be needed to push this through as quickly as possibly.
The Program for Government is not an animal rights document but it does share common aims.

Please send an email or letter (details below) to Minister John Gormley and Senator Dan Boyle for including these issues in the Program for Government and to implement them as soon as possible.

By an 84% majority the Green Party voted yes to a Program for Government which includes the following in relation to non human animals:
“We will enact the Animal Health and Welfare Bill, which will consolidate and update existing legislation in relation to the health and welfare of our nation’s animals. Among the provisions of the legislation will be a commitment to:
• Adopt the principles and 5 freedoms set out in the recent Scottish Animal Health and Welfare (Scotlant) Act 2006, particularly in relation to cruelty and neglect, to ensure that the welfare of animals is properly protected and that the penalties for offenders are increased significantly,
• Replace the culling of badgers with more effective and humane methods of control
• Phase-out fur farming over three years
• End Stag hunting”
