Bloodsports are Ireland’s equivalent of lion-killing

The slaughter of Cecil the lion has attracted worldwide anger. His killer has borne that odium. While this reaction is justified, we must not forget, in Ireland, that we have our own version of Cecil killers.

Ireland’s bloodsports community will shortly commence hunting and killing wildlife for entertainment, for the winter.

The hunting of animals for sport is a man-created right. The cruelty industry that is hunting sustains the culture of the bully. That might is right. That you can use and abuse whoever is weaker than yourself.
