  1. Our animal welfare legislation and enforcement in this country is horrendously underfunded and a fucking disgrace.

    The 18 million for greyhound racing we give away needs to be redirected to animal care.

  2. The kind of shit people are saying in this thread is the kind of shit brits used to say about irish in Britain. Get over yourselves. Wishing death upon a stranger regardless of whether they are reputedly using drugs on the video. And feigning concern for the animals. How the hell are Travellers meant to ever get a break when they are spoken of like this among a bunch of keyboard warriors.

  3. “Culture” at it’s finest. What’s will their next protected ‘tradition’ be, cockfighting?

  4. For him to fall off because the reins snapped, means he was leaning his full body weight on them. Which means he was leaning his full body weight on to the soft skin of the horses mouth because that’s where the reins and the bit connect. So not only is he whipping the horse to trot as fast as possible, he’s doing it while pulling on the horse in a way that would make the horse want to stop to relieve the strain on its head. Not just that, the horse is being made to trot as fast as it possibly can but it can’t actually break out in to a gallop and run because of the sulky it’s having to pull. Imagine being told to move as fast as you possibly can but also not being able to actually run.

    Utter scumbag.

  5. at the end “retard man , thats the coke man , giving him drugs” or something close to that anyone else catch it?

  6. This practice horrifies me but it’s also pretty horrifying that so many people on this sub basically have complete freedom to say (essentially) ‘kill all travellers’ and that they somehow think they’re the ones on the high road.

    Are you all vegetarians btw?

  7. He jumped off cause he thought it he would crash into the on coming car. Obviously he wasn’t ready to jump over the ditch

  8. Oh dear. Never mind. Unfortunately I can’t un-see the dashboard though. Eye bleach required now.

  9. A few years back on the Long Mile road I saw a few lads on one of those sulkys that have two-tier seating. The one at the back and highest up was holding a case of Budweiser bottles. They were stopped at traffic lights and when the horse started to move, the lad at the back fell backwards and down on to the ground.

    He landed on his back and it looked painful, but he saved the bottles.
