    Isn’t fox hunting deeply rooted in British tradition and originated there and they have even banned it? No excuse to still have this barbaric Bloodsport allowed in this country.

    Do we get to see a breakdown of what way each of them voted? Anyone or any party that voted against this will never get another vote from me for as long as I live

  3. Fucking hell. Polling regularly says the majority of the country would support a fox hunting ban, but some posh twats threw money around so they could continue to torture and mutilate innocent animals all because Viagra isn’t working anymore for them.

  4. Absolutely disgraceful.

    On another note, I suppose if people wanted to stop fox hunting it wouldn’t be difficult to disrupt such events by peacefully protesting them, right?

    I emailed my TDs on this. FF, FG, and the independents all ignored me, and Sinn Fein replied to say they thought fox hunting should be regulated and we need a panel of experts to determine how and what should be regulated.

    Politicians don’t care what people want, they want what suits them unless you speak up and let them know this is something they’ll hear about next time they knock on doors.

    People will lose their shit over a street named after a lad who was Anglo Irish but then vote to maintain an actual tangible remnant of British colonialism on this island.

  7. Jesus fucking Christ. What the fuck. That’s not a close call, but a full on support for it. I honestly didn’t think that there would be such a gulf between people that don’t want to terrorize animals, and cunts that delight in it. Fuck them.

    So we’re all going to go hound the ones who voted no to find out exactly why they’re supportive of violent mauling of animals right? I bet you 50-60% of those people have never been coursing in their life and would change their stance if they were confronted with actual footage of it. You bet your hole I’m about to find out who the Cork reps are and I’m going to get an answer unless they arrest me first.

  9. This is the most useless bunch of pricks we have ever (re)elected. And I say that having lived in this country all of my adult life and watched the political class fuck it up over and over and over again. This lot take incompetence to another level.

    Fucking disgraceful. Majority of people support banning fox hunting and then there’s these pricks taking that away from us

  11. Not a good look for Sinn Féin when they voted for this but Labour and Soc Dems voted against. What’s this about the left working together? Did we dream that?

  12. If this doesn’t tell you the government is controlled by money and not the public nothing will. This is absolutely vile, I’m livid

    Shame on anyone who still takes part in this so called ‘sport’. It’s an absolute disgrace that it still goes on. Sadly, change won’t come until a child gets seriously injured or killed by a pack of these bloodthirsty hounds. Show some balls and ban it before something tragic happens

  14. Not even abstaining to pretend they didn’t know everyone wants this… shameless rotten corruption.

  15. Who are the lobbyists that managed to influence so many people to vote against this? Or is it something else?

    It makes my blood boil to be honest.

    They should be ashamed of themselves.

    Fucking disgraceful. I am so disappointed by SF, and this will absolutely factor in for my voting choices next time.

  17. Otherwise-Winner9643 on

    Did they differentiate between fox hunting on horses for sport vs hunting for population control with a rifle/shotgun?

  18. this is one of the things i’ll never understand about the country, it seems like everyone here hates fox hunting but no one is doing anything about it
