He’s such a backwards gobshite.
I’m pretty sure he doesn’t oppose blood sport. 🙃
I would consider foxes to be higher up the pecking order in terms of intelligence and empathy than the Healy-Raes.
If the Healy-Raes can enjoy the privilege of walking around and not being randomly hunted and brutally ripped apart, then foxes should enjoy the same right.

I’m an ecologist and he is embarrassingly misinformed.
He’s happy to point the finger at foxes when it comes to declines in ground-nesting birds when the reality is that it’s slack-jawed yokels and their intensified and irresponsible agricultural practices that have driven the likes of the Curlew and Corncrake to near extinction.
DHR is a professional cunt and his brother is only a slightly more intelligent one.
If it isn’t the fairies tis the foxes eh danny
Pretty much can always assume he’s lying
Pro drink driving and pro murdering beautiful animals.
What a cunt.
The ginger foxy bastards are all over Kilbarrack but I don’t for a moment think fox hunting with hounds like some guilded West Brit is the answer.
What a fucking ill informed gobshite. Foxes are native to Ireland and have as much right, if not more, to be here than imported farm animals.
He wants a world where instead of the onus being on the farmer to protect his stock, he wants to kill every living thing that might pose a threat.
Michael Collins comments were just as bad : “We have to have some kind of controls because the next thing we will be inside here looking to see if we can protect the rat and the mouse.” Peak aul fella, “what if I identify as a fridge?” Facebook comment thinking he is owning the wokes.
It isn’t foxes that have threatened our native birds either. It’s yer farming practices and absolute disregard for all sorts of biodiversity and nature.
I hope this passes. I’ve seen enough disgusting videos of people chasing these poor animals and ripping them to pieces. These animals are only trying to survive in a land that has been completely ravaged for farming and barely anything natural left.
The more you hear about this tool and the more he says the more I despise the backward git .
Fox hunts are the least efficient way of controlling foxes so there is simply no justification for it. Along with hare coursing it is first and foremost a “sport” that belongs in the past.
In situations where foxes do need to be controlled, shooting is the most effective and humane way of doing it.
He can fuck off, turnip munching simpleton.
Scumbag
Edit to add: have emailed TDs expressing strong support for this bill, would encourage as many as possible to do likewise
Keep the foxes Hunt the Healy Raes
If he means that the foxes have taken over the henhouse when career criminal Lowry negotiated the programme for government allowing him and his brother to be both government and take opposition speaking time and have this obvious bullshit adjudicated by their appointee, well I couldn’t agree more.
He was on newstalk this morning and he started on about the poor lambs, when the person on the other side of the argument pointed out teagascs ( maybe it was IFA ) figures saying that more than 50% of lamb deaths are due to being basically born in fields and that foxes don’t even make an entrance on the official lamb deaths caused, he switched the conversation to deer culls and then back to the foxes and the hen harriers instead. Why he thinks foxes native to the country and birds native to the country can’t sort themselves out he never said. Why he thinks foxes have to be hunted on horseback he never said.
I could understand if he really cared about chickens and was the only animal he talked about that actually is regularly killed by foxes but then use a gun to shoot the fox.
Most farmers and rural dwellers hate foxhunts, in my experience. Hate when it’s presented as a ‘rural way of life’
File under pre summer attention seeking statements like getting the army for the rhododendron
Just more populist shite to keep his rural subjects on board, so they dont start to question his vast property portfolio/empire. I’m a sheep farmer, in theory foxes pose a huge threat to young lambs in particular. But despite lambing around 150 ewes a year, averaging about 220-230 lambs a year, we could count on one hand the instances of *all* wildlife attacks on our stock within the last number of years, with our land also being in many places quite wooded.
This is of course anecdotal evidence, but if Mr Healy Rae is using it to justify his disregard for wildlife, then so will I. Generally all farmers in the area mix and word gets around about different factors going on, have heard nothing about any major fox issues in the area. But anecdotes aside, any reports I have come across have noted an overall decline in the fox population.
We need to stop this insistence on purging wildlife, and we farmers in particular, need to take on more responsibility in dealing with the issue of habitat destruction and decline.
They are out there taking our jobs and wimmen
Who’s he trying to appeal to here surely the toffs around Kerry wouldn’t be that big a voter base the vast majority of farmers are against the Hunt it does nothing but destroy fences, crops and scare livestock. Anyone with a fox taking lambs or chickens is going for a gun. ban the sport and the cunexttuesdays that take part
We really should domesticate foxes and be done with it. Of course there’s arguments against this but it’s that or we wipe them out.Â
“Healy-Rae’s have taking over the place” says A_Pompous_Caucy as he supports blood politician bill.
Correct me if I’m wrong but farmers can still shoot foxes right? This bill is about the posh scumbags on horses chasing after them with their dogs isn’t it?
