    Hard to know what happened there. Carbofuran is a pesticide, use in the EU is illegal, but there is a slight possibility the buzzards (for such a beautiful bird, why do they have such a shítty name) weren't the target.

    OTOH, there is Round Up, which is widely used by farmers, and still legal, just about.

    It's not legal to pour it all over the place at this time of year when birds are nesting

    No I don't as China India Brazil and many other emerging economies in Africa can't or won't make those changes on a global scale so why are we to suffer so these do goodies can feel good about themselves, it's futile unless everyone does their part and not even equally just we can't pick up the slack while others keep the status quo.

    So you neighbour decides they don’t want to clean out bins, have a house that is stinky and unhygienic

    Do you just copy them? Or keep your own house clean?

    Buzzards are targeted by farmers, they kill hens and some will go after Young lamb....

    I hope the Green Party team up with FF/FG.

    And I hope Deputy Ryan gets taoiseach.

    We probably wont be allowed eat red meat or drive Diesel cars and the Army will probably be disbanded.

    Some people may decide to eat less meat, and good for them, but I most certainly will not be. I believe in supporting our farmers, more importantly I like the taste of it.

    Well others believe in a more sustainable and ethical way of living.

    Thankfully.

    We don't really need an army, Costa Rica don't have an army, and if we stopped farming red meat in Ireland we'd probably be the greenest country in Europe.
