Political Protest

There are two issues I am drawn to comment on today. The first one is the flaunting of Luke Ming Flanagan of the EU habitats directive. Despite his position as MEP, this cowboy politician is cutting turf from a bog and encouraging others to follow suit. Thankfully there was plenty of erudite comments on his Facebook page. Please presurise him on social media to leave his parochial politics in the past.

The second issue is that the department of Agriculture is looking for a contractor to cull 12,000 badgers. Despite the lessons learned in England our government and against any scientific evidence of a link between TB stead and badgers the government looks set to spend taxpayers money on a spurious scheme

As always keep the pressure up on social media and support conservation of Irish wildlife and landscapes.
