Animals must endure too much cock-and-bull

I WAS shocked that saintly socialist Joe Higgins, while berating the sheep on the Government backbenches, should have the vicious slur of kebabs served - sorry, thrown - in his direction by that snide Conor Lenihan.

While this was happening, Justice Minister Michael McDowell was complaining that bogus refugees were using cock-and-bull stories.

As chairperson of Animal Supporters Surviving Hope Offering Life Expectancy (ASSHOLE), I nearly choked on my lamb chop (the kebab was off) as I listened to the appalling attacks on these poor defenceless animals (no, not the politicians).
