Wednesday, 23 June at 6PM outside Dail Eireann.
Our friends at ARAN who, like the ACS, have been tirelessly campaigning for better and more humane animal welfare legislation are asking for help. They have issued a call to Arms to ALL people who truly care about the shocking state of animal welfare in our country. They NEED YOU. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Come along to their event and show that YOU care. An hour or two of YOUR TIME CAN MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE ! Help us to build a world in which there are no more "Harry's".
Below follows an extract of their appeal and request for help. See their website for full details. by clicking this link.
"The coming days and weeks are vital for the new legislation currently being debated, as the Dail are due to close soon ( in the next week) for their recess/summer break. It's vital that we get this legislation discussed and enacted. This is why we desperately need you to set aside just a couple of hours to join caring ARAN supporters for a special, peaceful vigil outside of Government buildings, to remind our leaders that we, the people of Ireland are watching. The lively vigil will be led by a giant 'dog', banners and signs will be provided, so just bring yourself and anyone you can recruit to join you. "
The Ward Union deer hunt is a disgusting and cruel practice, which involves chasing a terrified, dehorned deer by a pack of innocent, crazed hounds that chase the deer for miles while they try desperately to run for their lives. Fur farming is another savage practice , where fur bearing animals such as mink and foxes are caged in smelly, dirty, small, barren cages until they are gassed and finally electrocuted.
MARK YOUR DIARIES NOW AND SET ASIDE JUST A COUPLE OF HOURS THIS COMING WEDNESDAY, IT'S THE LEAST WE CAN DO FOR THE ANIMALS!
Date: Wednesday, June 23, 2010 Time: 6pm - 9pm sharp (please be sure to arrive, most importantly, for the first hour at least) Place: Dail Eireann, Kildare Street Contact: John Carmody 087-2391646" Website: Aran information
P.S. If we cannot show support for the above vital pieces of legislation, then all of our hard work to achieve this will have been wasted! Hunters and blood sports enthusiasts gathered in Waterford recently with thousands marching to keep their cruel and barbaric sport. You can be sure they will turn out in force in order to keep their miserable forms of 'entertainment'.
Where are the thousands of people for the animals in Ireland? That's why I am asking everyone who cares to make sure they attend this vital vigil for just a couple of hours on Wednesday June 23rd. It's in the evening so we're hoping that people who work during the day, that generally can't make daytime events - will be able to find time for this evening event. We'll never make real change for animals in Ireland if important events such as this are not supported and what's more it's extremely disheartening when just a couple of people attend and yet we see thousands attend pro-hunt rallies. Can we please do our best to change this around?
To our readers outside the Republic of Ireland we extend an apology. Due to the urgent nature of this "Call to Arms" we have not been able to edit out your email addresses. No, we do not expect you to hop on a plane or ferry and stand outside the parliament buildings. But we want you to know that there are people who care and care passionately about the fate and future of all animals who share this planet with us. We believe that as a compassionate human being you need to know that we will leave no stone unturned until we have no more Harry's.
As the saying goes: For evil to triumph, it is only necessary for good people to remain silent. Please Remember this: If YOU remain silent, you have lost your right to speak on their behalf.
