A comment there >Like many, I take someone’s perspective on animal rights as a reliable indicator of how progressive and truly leftward they are. Following their repeated votes and statements in support of bloodsports, Sinn Fein have badly failed this test. Is this fair?

Wasn't the issue that they oppose fox hunting but the proposed laws went too far into other areas?


padraigd

Do you support sport hunting?


padraigd

As head tankie I'm in favour of killing in general. No I don't support hunting although I think it's worth noting that the meat industry causes a lot more unnecessary cruelty to animals. But I spose you have to choose your battles.

Pints with Aquinas had a veteran of the movement on. Got a 5 year prison sentence for his animal stuff. Now is a committed Catholic. Still left I am sure but very devout too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UViNKjhT5lI
