My book was NOT written to drive coursing fans wild, or to split families and divide communities, as I have been accused of doing by one critic. There is such a thing as the constitutional right to free speech. I have got phone calls in the past week since the book went on sale telling what should be done with me and people like me. |

... you are indeed. I'm buying myself your book for christmas!
Its obvious that bullies should be treated with contempt and I am not in the least surprised that you have been subjected to their tactics. Well done on getting your book published. I have not yet read it but I know that it will make an important contribution to the literature if Irish activism in time to come.
I'm proud to have met you (once at a demo in Dublin!)

Anti hunt demo at Taoiseachs office Dec 08
For the "thousands of animal rights supporters" in Ireland to heave themselves out to protest on St Stephens day al over the country at hunt meets. Not that they were missed,well apart from their annual buffonery .The Boul Bernie issued a statement to the Indo and that was that....Hmmm well, I guess that really shows the support here. in reality NIL. Happy Xmas you all,must go and have a turkey sanger now.
Blood lovers may dream on...far from having "nil" support, there is widespread and growing support for a ban on cruelty to animals masquerading as "sport" and as for Bernie's statement...at least she isn't afraid to use her real name and stand over her comments, unlike the anonymous pro-hunt internet predators and other "heros" who skulk behind masks and mount crazy attacks on people's reputations from shadowy little carvernous rooms whose walls are festooned with animal body parts and pictures of Nazi top brass. The pro-hunt lobby has a few real charmers in its camp and is in disarray right now, with infighting tearing apart the ranks of the cruelty worshippers. They are hunting each other. How unsporting!
