Why are climate alarmists so impervious to facts, so averse to rational cost-benefit analysis? It has all the hallmarks of a religious cult, says James Allan. They can't let it go because it gives meaning to their lives.

There's a climate emergency, so cough up, say insurers. It hasn't stopped them raking in billions, notes Chris Morrison. And no wonder: weather losses are actually down compared to 35 years ago. Time for a bit of honesty?

Cock fighting information required

Cock fighting increase in Ireland

COCK FIGHTING IN IRELAND: INFORMATION NEEDED
The AOHS has received information that a Cock fighting event will be held in Ireland this coming Saturday, 2nd June 2012. We were told that it will be organised by some of the Travelling Community. It is apparently well known by blood sports enthusiasts in the area.
The area is Tipperary/ Waterford, near the border. The alleged event we are told is apparently to be put on utube.


As an increase in cock fighting in Shandon in the Waterford area has been discussed on WLR radio .It appears back gardens are being used in housing estates to hold birds. Also birds to be used for fighting were seized in Clonmel recently .
Fights have been held in Cavan and Longford and dead and injured birds have been found in Dundalk.
Cock-fighting is illegal in Ireland but is reported to take place during the spring and summer months. During a fight, two birds are allowed to keep fighting until one dies and big money can ride on the outcome.
APPEAL
We now appeal for any information regarding the possible Saturday fight or other events to be sent to us. We have alerted Gardai as to the information we have received.
It is difficult to confirm if these reports about actual fights are real but this sick practise is definitely happening here. One report alleged a cock fight happened at the back of a pub last year.

We welcome any information to 0872651720 or emailed to [email protected] or PO Box 4734. D 1.
