Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5what i would want to know is what is in it for dunnes stores to do such a thing?
AFAR has some good contacts , they should go right to the top on this issue in my opinion. The present Justice Minister, Alan Shatter, is a long time campaigner against cruelty to animals and was for many years President of the Irish Council against Blood Sports. Not so long ago Alan even lost the FG party whip because of the principled stand he took against hare coursing in Ireland. Although you obviously can't force Dunnes Stores to take charity tins , this ban clearly discriminates against vegans . There might be some sort of a way to challenge it legally.
If its true, they will never see the colour of my money ever again.
Dunnes arent big on charity workers,i work for an animal charity part time on saturdays and know this for a fact.
Anyway dunnes will never see the colour of my money,they are far too expensive for their pricing on 'fresh' food and perishable foods..Lidl is more my thing i come out with foods at a fraction of the price.
Most people involved in animals rescue are not vegan. I rarely ever shopped in Dunnes as I used to work for them and ended up winning a labour court case against them, so I hate them anyway. This is just another example of what they are truly like. When I worked there about ten years ago, the staff were treated like filth on the managers shoes, and woe betide you if you tried to stand up for your basic rights. These are the same shower who continued to import apartheid fruit during an international embargo remember? The only thing they care about is making money, to hell with any sense of social or moral justice. I will never darken their doors again, that is for sure.
