The sport of champions…?
February 22nd…
“Only for it being propped up by the taxpayer,” says Whitmore, “the greyhound sector would be a financial basket case and unable to survive from its own resources.
“Clearly, this is because there is no public appetite for a discredited industry which has been rocked by animal welfare controversies.”
Now that the Welsh and New Zealand governments have signalled their intention to ban this so-called sport, Ireland must take similar steps.

Don Mcdonald so it’s okay to sit and watch an animal terrorised at length for sport
Andrew Jack Lambert
Don Mcdonald really so before you have a burger you chase the cow around the field until in can’t run anymore then sink your nails and teeth in and start
shaking it and ripping in to bits and what then you get a bun

No, the Doe doesn’t eat meet. Generally, she eats grasses, sedges, the leaves and shoots of trees and other woody plants. Generally.
