BANNED: Cruel Carted deer hunting

The Irish Council Against Blood Sports very much welcomes the passing of legislation in the Dail on 29 June 2010 to outlaw the hounding of deer with a pack of dogs. The successful Wildlife Amendment Bill 2010 bans the Ward Union deerhunt which for 150 years has been terrorising tame red deer.

We applaud the courage of John Gormley and the Green Party in pushing this legislation through the Oireachtas in the face of hostility from all sides of the house.

About carted deer hunting: In carted deer hunting, captive-bred deer were released and chased to exhaustion by a pack of hounds. Although the aim was not to kill the deer, the creatures suffered a gruelling cross-country chase which left them exhausted, injured and at risk of dying from heart failure. Deer have also died while being recaptured.

From a regular hunters view, i've never seen something so disgusting

[iedco4]

It makes me sick to have to share the same island as these village idiots.

[chanctonbury63]

Fucking ridiculous. Theres so much stuff to do in the countryside and then someone comes up with this. Great news that its stopped.

[Laoch111]

This is despicable. I would not call them humans, they are sadistic monsters. That poor deer.

Those idiots should be hunted, let's see how they like it.

Mark Twain: Of all the animals, man is the only one that is cruel. He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.

[MaddyRockRoxs]

@croutonfada What a load of crap. Hunters kill for pleasure, and animals feel fear, you tell me a cat isn't scared when it starts hissing and has it's ears flat.

[jpetsch96]

Stupid bastards!!!!

[croutonfada]

"No hunting person kills or culls animals for pleasure." This is a quote from the Irish Hunting Asscoiation's "The Facts" webpage. They also claim animals can't feel fear.

only cowards hunt for sport, if you were to smash one of these cowards in the mouth the would not do nothing back, it is a mental thing that all cowards have in there minds and hearts, this is how cowards express being tuff, just like cowards that shoot animals for sport, only real men kill a animal then eat what they kill, but look at these cowards, all out playing tuff while there other half is with real dudes getting there backs blown out.. god I hate sharing the world the heartless cowards.

[randomguy43210]

At least they gave the deer a head start

[rivnerivne]

this is sick!

[MsCountrygirl81]

i am just listening to joe duffy on deer hunting i am sickened to my stomach at the cruelty dealt out to these poor animals these people who engage in this are savages . they represent the lowest form of life. They are big fat arsed bullies and cowards. Obviously they are thrilled and excited at the suffering of others animal or human. It is time to call a halt and re educate these thugs
