Shocking that students would be cruel to an animal, or shocking that someone is reading the limerick leader?

Unfortunately people are cruel to animals every day in Ireland, and people are fairly apathetic to it, but fair play to the paper for drawing attention to it.

It's not entirely clear how she knew they were students though.

It is pure sickening that this is what passes as 'entertainment' by college students these days :mad:

Hope the poor dogs' owners are okay and not hurting too much due to this cruel act by these youngsters!

I am reading the Irish Times epaper at the moment but I couldn't get a link to the story so followed the reference to the Limerick Leader.

I am from a different part of the country - don't know anything about the paper.

You'd have to query the truth of the story, very surprised one of the "concerned" local residents didn't have a phone to take a picture. Looks like a cheap shot at students by residents. Not to many people would sit by watching a dog being killed without taking action.

No proof they were students, no reports from anyone official of a complaint being made to Gardai for cruelty?

Something a little off about this story.

I'm not sure what the point of this thread is.

We could link to horrific stories and articles all day long in this forum, but please be careful not tar "all students" from this establishment with the same brush. It sounds like a sensationalist article to me and whether it is true or not, there is NOTHING to gain from this thread bar Boards being liabelled for bad mouthing.

If anyone sees the point in keeping it open feel free to PM me.
