Kangaroo alledgedly killed at 30th Party... DUBLIN

Disgusting, utterly disgusting. Ireland and the Irish have a poor reputation when it comes to its treatment of animals but this incident marks a new low.:(

I dearly hope all those scumbags are jailed for this sick act of wanton cruelty.:mad:

You don't let a wild animal out on a dance floor with flashing lights and loud music. Mainly beacause the wild animal might, I dunno, kill somebody.

Poor Kangeroo, but on the bright side, at least nobody got hurt.

Ehh,the animal died,or is that not hurt.

JerryHandbag · 19-10-2010 9:57pm

Wow that guy is some hero....terrorising a defenceless animal to look cool in front of the lads. Typical braindead pisshead gombeen. Would absolutely love to meet up with him, introduce him to my neighbours 2 pitbulls, and see how far he gets terrorising them. Scumbag :mad:

Burts Bee · 19-10-2010 9:57pm

I have to say, I haven't posted on boards in about 2 years but I knew there'd be talk of this. I'm so shocked and disgusted at what I saw on the news tonight. I've studied animal welfare in college and I just can't believe there are people like this out there. I emailed the Clarion asking what did they do after the animal was discovered? Did they call a halt to the part and ask everyone to leave? - As far as I'm concerned this would have been the appropriate action. If they didn't then shame on them and they may as well have brought the animal in themselves. Either way - how easy is it to smuggle a large animal into a hotel without anyone noticing? - I will never stay in one of their hotels.
And as for the people who were at that party - shame on you for not intervening, you should all be ashamed of yourselves and I hope you get what you all deserve.

I feel really sad after reading this. ****ing knackers

Presumably the law will be pretty weak with regards to punishing the offenders but naming and shaming will probably have an effect, including the band.

mickydoomsux · 19-10-2010 10:06pm

Saw the guy who the party was throw for on the TV3 news. Typical track-suit wearing scobe.

Another example of how we Irish have a terrible attitude to alcohol and enjoying ourselves. We always have to go to some kind of extreme when drink is involved which usually ends property damage, people being assaulted/murdered, A&E time being wasted or in this case an animal being killed.

We are a truly pathethic nation with a worthless culture of over-indulgence in all areas.

oceanclub · 19-10-2010 10:07pm

Hang on, the party was thrown for a 30 year old. Is the guy on TV3 news meant to be him?

I suddenly feel a lot better about turning 40.

from the video we can obviously see the band are on stage, I presume they can be easily identified along with the person responsible for playing the skippy music. they should be prosecuted for 1) witnessing the event and doing nothing to stop it 2) providing the means for "skippy the bush kangaroo" to be played on the sound system:mad:

Are you serious? How do you think that exchange played out?

"Hey mister, can you put this music on when I give you the nod tonight?"
"Sure thing kid. HEY! Wait a second, is this the theme tune from Skippy The Bush Kangaroo? Are you guys planning to let a kangaroo loose on the dancefloor when I put this on the sound system because if you are I want no part of it."
"Ah pleeeeeeaassseeee Mister?"
"Oh ok. Get outta here ya scamp!"

:rolleyes:

Yes, yes it was a disgusting thing to do but it's getting ridiculous when people start calling for everyone in the room, the people behind the bar and the guy handing out aftershave in the jacks to be prosecuted even though they may have had absolutely nothing to do with it.

'Naming and shaming' the band will serve to do what exactly? If you're hired to play a birthday party are you automatically responsible for everything the people at the party do?

I presume this guy can prove to the Gardai that he didn't have three wallabies.

How do we know he only had two to begin with? I'd like to see them cnuts do that to my big 7 stone guard dog. he'd teach them a fkking lesson

besides, the Scholl fella brought a kangaroo to the Earth nightclub a while back, and it was the nightclub who got sanctioned for it

If indeed "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" is a staple song of some event DJs' sets, fair enough. Just remind me not to hire these guys.

In fairness, they had no way of knowing what was about to happen. If someone asks you to play a song at a function that you have been hired to provide music for, you're hardly going to refuse.

Guy:Incognito · 19-10-2010 10:17pm

Blurring out fail. You can see the guys face when the cameras are flashing

Compudaro · 19-10-2010 10:19pm

This horrific story has been on my mind all day. AFAIK the kangaroo/wallaby hasn't been located and nobody yet knows for sure if it is dead. Am I right in saying that? It's the one tiny glimmer of hope I have that the DSPCA or police can find it,alive.

19-10-2010 10:20pm

I have to say, this is one of the most bizarre newspaper stories I've ever read. Thought it was a wind-up at first.

Came out of the blue alright. Thought someone was taking the piss when I heard it on the radio earlier.

P.

he was obviously asked to include it in the set beforehand, I've thrown parties before and asked the djs's for unusual music, they dont ask questions they just accomodate. what was he supposed to say? "sorry I cannot play "skippy" for you because of the one in a million chance that you might parade a kangaroo on the dancefloor, treat it disgracefully, it dies afterwards and becomes a national animal cruelty scandal".

seriously. have some perspective.

This thread was the first I heard about it, I was reading through it this evening waiting for someone to point out that it was a fake or exaggerated news story, couldn't believe when it turned out to be true. It really is disgusting.

Next time I hear eye of the tiger, though, I'm getting me the f*ck out of there.

Shocking and all this story is, there are far worse things happening in Nth Dublin every night than this and hardly gets a mention. Thing is the G-men will probably spend/waste valuable time investigating an otherwise 'media crime.'

Well, when the scobes are killing each other off it's not really worth investigating.

This animal was more valuable than any of them are.

they're there to investigate ALL crimes, of which this is one, so its not wasted time. the high profile cases remind people how wrong it is to be cruel to animals, doncha think?

Bloody hell !

(yes the people involved are sickos etc.)

Meanwhile...where the @$?* did it come from ??

Is there a kangaroo missing from a zoo somewhere ? ('Hey Liam how many kangaroos do we have ?' 'Eh, five' 'Are you sure ?' 'Naw never really checked...how many can you see ?' 'Eh, four' 'Ok we have four then, I'm nearly 100% sure')

Or has someone managed to smuggle one in through customs ? ('it's a shih tzu')

Or is someone secretly breeding and raising kangaroos and selling them on the black market ? ('hey buddy...you want some of what I got...c'mere...take a look...that's 100% the real deal purpose bred party kangaroo right there...you ain't a cop are ya ? cos if you are you gotta tell me now...are you wearing a wire??!??')
