Crow bounty cruel and ridiculous.

category national | animal rights | press release author Monday November 05, 2007 20:41author by Ciaran Long - Association Of Hunt Saboteurs. Report this post to the editors

The AOHS would like to refute the claims by farmers that Crows are attacking lambs. We accept that birds live on carrion but the statement that birds are attacking live animals is ludicrous.

Even more so is the proposition by Jim Higgins to put a bounty on these birds to be paid to Ireland's gun-toting brigade. Surely this MEP has more pressing issues to deal with rather than advocating and encouraging the slaughter of defenceless birds.
Voilence towards animals is widespread enough in this country with two dogs being hung last week in a public park and with thousands of guns already held by shooters for the sole purpose of killing birds and wildlife for fun.
' Jim Higgins should be ashamed of himself to be advocating animal abuse and for suggesting using taxpayers money to fund blatant cruelty.Farmers we have consulted never heard of crows attacking lambs.
The MEP must have been watching too many horror movies over Halloween!'

Text from article News of the World 28th October 2007:
An Irish MEP has called for a bounty of one euro to be placed on the head of all crows and magpies. Fine Gael's Jim Higgins urged the cull after farmers alerted him to the growing number of attacks by the birds on lambs.
And the North West Euro deputy insisted Minister Eamon ó Cuiv must introduce the bounty for shotgun owners.
"We need urgent and drastic action," he said.
