national / animal rights / press release Saturday December 30, 2006 00:30 by Miriam Anderson

'Pet' or companion animals are left out in the cold by politicians as there is no government minister with responsibility for their protection and welfare. This has implications for all 'pet' owners as well as abandoned animals and the groups that rescue them. While Ireland has led the way in relation to other issues, we are way behind the rest of Europe when it comes to the treatment of our animals. In order for us to truly take our place among the 'civilised' countries of the world, this needs to be addressed now. read full story / add a comment

Let's face it- statistics bore most people (unless you're a nerd like myself). Statistics also tend to go over most peoples' heads esp. nowadays with the state of the world (in most ways) getting worse. People also feel disempowered, that individuals can't make any difference. read full story / add a comment

Gerald Ford, the first of two unelected leaders of the US (George W Bush was the second) has died.

The puppet judiciary of occupied Iraq today announced that Saddam Hussein would be hanged within 30 days. Saddam is presently being tried for the mass murder of Kurdish villagers but the judiciary insisted that he MUST be executed regardless of any other proceedings. This decision is a ‘just in time’ corporate-style decision – just in time for what the uninformed reader would ask? Just in time to save America from incrimination for supplying the chemical weapons and expertise required to kill the innocent Kurdish villagers – that is the REAL NEWS of the day! read full story / add a comment

On a bright sunny Christmas morning, the festive community of Yeppoon on the Central Queensland coast of Australia arose to greet their day in joy and gladness, opening presents and family time together. Not so for many homes across this nation and indeed across the world as the reminders of missing loved ones taken in the grip of war that has ripped a gaping wound in the hearts of hundreds and thousands of families this Advent season. I sat alone in a peace vigil where I boycotted Christmas and Boxing day to remember those families, and those serving in this war-madness or in gaols. read full story / add a comment

The NIFC talks to Mags Glennon, chairperson for the Westmeath Cowpark Users Group who are campaigning to retain the use of community owned land used by landless farmers who pay fees to graze their cattle on these lands. Recently the Westmeath county council -by way of the Department of Agriculture - in Dublin, have decided to sell off the cowparks without warning to the highest bidder; showing little regard for the members of the community who depend on the use of the land for their livestock. read full story / add a comment

In contrary to the often hypocritical ''Christmas'' approach, The Birth of the Child is no sentimental story about ''A Little Child in a Manger'', but the reality of the exclusion of the poor, persecution by the State and seeking illegal asylum in a foreign country That's the reason, this Story is based on respect towards any human being, regardless descent or committed crime read full story / add a comment

The arch-conservative Anglican Dean of Sydney's St. Andrews Cathedral, Phil Jensen, has delivered a Christmas message worthy of the most mindless, inane comment that the infamous neo-con war monger and lunatic Donald “uknown knowns” Rumsfeld could have delivered. The Dean stated that “Christmas is about God giving, that God gave the gift of God and the gift of God, is God," (!) Those Australians who imagined that mindless, unqualified statements only issued from American neo-cons be advised, conservative pro-American Evangelicals are alive and very ‘unwell’ in conservative Anglican Sydney. read full story / add a comment

For the Christian exploring radical salvation history and seeking to be faithful in a time of escalating and expanding imperial war on the Middle East, the co-option of the Christmas season by the state is always a problem. How do we remain faithful in a context where our radical traditions and stories are being co-opted to feed rampant consumerism that drives the ever expanding market and diminishes finite ecology? read full story / add a comment
