One eyewitness said blood and entrails were spattered around the garden. Another described the scene as a “bloodbath”......

Bloody foreigners. They think they're still living in the third world where such things are acceptable. If they can't fit into Irish sociey and accepted norms, then they should be deported.

Got it.

Polish = Swans
Africans = Goats

The circle is complete.

Were they simply going to eat them or was it some sort of sacrificial ceremony?

****ing backward, third world, barbarians.

Put them on a raft laced with lighter fluid and shoot some flaming arrows at it. Taste of their own medicine.

Taste of their own medicine? There's no mention in the article of any floatation devices been set ablaze.

Are ya sure you're not just a racist now, Father?

My old man used to slaughter animals in our back yard for years , he was a butcher in a meat factory and used to moonlight during the period coming up to xmas , nobody ever complained , possibly because we are white... but more than likely due to the fact that the housing estate was a sh1te hole.

Never realised you couldn't slaughter an animal yourself.

Because they'll have no way to escape the fire on a raft.

Hmmm let's see - Ireland has one of the highest rates of animal cruelty incidents in Europe, one of the highest rates of stray dogs and cats and animals put down and we seem fit to moralize about others? Please.

This is a country where fox hunting still continues, bloodsports like non-muzzle hare coursing, badger baiting and dogfighting are still widespread and cattle and horses starved to death on decrepit farms run by lunatics and senile individuals and people seem to want to point fingers at others?

We Irish are in no position to condemn foreigners with respect to animal cruelty.

They should be commended for assimilating perfectly into the local society. Good on you lads

Technically you can, but you need to abide by fairly strict rules when doing so. In any case, doing it in view or earshot of neighbors and possibly children isn't on.

I kept a few lambs a year or so ago and when the time came for them to be slaughtered it was a lot more straightforward for me to bring them to an abattoir to have the job done than it would have been for me to legally do it myself at home.

Proper thuggish post. If that's not barbarian I don't know what is. Backward, indeed.

So it's only acceptable to chastise those born in Ireland when stuff like this happens? I'm a bit surprised by the restraint shown by people in regard to this.

If the African people in the article were replaced by travelers or Irish people living in some specific estates around the country, the reaction would be entirely different.

We Irish are in no position to condemn foreigners with respect to animal cruelty.

Ah, sure let them at it so. Bizarre reasoning tbh. Animal cruelty is animal cruelty. It shouldn't matter what nationality the people are.. if you're against that stuff being carried out by Irish nationals then it's mental to not also be against it when carried out by non-Irish nationals.

Imagine if the Gardai arrived into your house as you sat down to your mother's Sunday roast and took it away. :mad:

Meh, it's not like it doesn't happen every day in farms around the country.
People will eat meat but when they see slaughtering at the neighbour's house they're pussies.

Well you might expect it on a farm, not in your neighbors back yard! I don't have children but if I did I don't think I'd appreciate them being subjected to the galling and blood-curdling screams that goats let out when they are being butchered.

And besides, there's no indication that they were going to be used as food. Why would they kill 5 goats at one time if they just wanted to personally eat them? If they were intending on sharing the meat with others then they would have been breaking a number of laws as animals used for that purpose have to be slaughtered in an abattoir. Then there's the question of what they would have done with the carcasses.. there are very strict regulations on disposing of animal remains in these circumstances.

Funnily enough, they'd be in less trouble if they were in fact performing some sort of ritual sacrifice, as crazy religiously motivated activities like that are exempt from animal protection laws.

People will eat meat but when they see slaughtering at the neighbour's house they're pussies.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be ok for me to post a video of a goat been slaughtered here? No.. didn't think so. That would be inappropriate, right?

An underrated delicacy.

Nice. You know how difficult it is to find goatmeat in Irish butchers? Did anyone get a phone number?

Surely you would be horrified by this OldGoat. I mean, they might've been killing your children!

I'm a bit surprised that this claim of Ireland being the worst in terms of animal cruelty has passed without question despite having no source, myself.

It's a pretty typical self-loathing type of response when stuff involving people of other nationalities comes up. You can't say anything bad about others because it might be seen as racist.. best to deflect the criticism towards the Irish instead.. they're fair game!

p to the e

Maybe it's the term "slaughtered" that put people off. How about "Kitten tiddled" instead?

Feisar

What's the problem, they were slaughtering/butchering their own meat?

Hardly a story, does the KSPCA rescue all the cattle slaughtered in meat factories around the country.

Feisar

Does anyone know if their actions were illegal?

Seems stupid to start butchering while some of them were still alive, get them all killed first then start cleaning them out.

You haven't seen forms and inspections until you deal with the Department of Agriculture
There is a form for everything

Yes it's illegal

But if it's for personal consumption?

For instance, I can shoot a dear with a simple permit and butcher it for personal use without jumping trough paperwork hoops.

Irish people killed pigs in their back yards until very recently - perhaps it still goes on. The pig would be strung up by its back legs and the throat cut. Bloodcurdling screams would be heard over a long distance. People kept hens, geese and turkeys - they would also be killed/slaughtered at home.

I'm not sure when those practices became frobidden in built-up areas, but anyone over the age of 40 in rural areas will remember them.

Those Africans were obviously not familiar with our laws and customs here. I'm sure they wont re-offend. It wasn't a major crime.

And how are you disposing of the offal waste?

The days of burying dead livestock and waste are over

Have you any reason to think they didn't fill out the correct forms and make proper arrangements for disposal of waste?

mikemac1

Yes, if they had the forms they would have shown them to the gardaí and the KSPCA would not have taken away the kid

And this story would have never made the news
