We've said it before & we'll say it again - there ain't nothing 'natural' about animal agriculture. Media Credit: Douglas Thorn
Remember: Ireland was ranked **13th from the bottom** in biodiversity intactness out of 240 global nations and states. With this approach, that won't be changing ANY time soon.

Disturbing to see the President of UCD SU manhandled by what I presume were not Garda or UCD security while exercising her right to free speech. Free speech (for staff and students) is a dearly held privilege in academia … forcibly removing Martha in such a way is concerning.

"The goats will also enhance the biodiversity of Killiney Hill" How on earth can an invasive, non-native species that strips out all native vegetation possibly 'enhance' biodiversity??? The solution to fires is to allow natural non-flammable habitats return. Goats prevent that.

Excellent piece by @think_or_swim. My jaw dropped to learn that over 60% of new car sales in Ireland are SUVs. That is indicative of a society in *total*, shameful denial of the collapsing climate. As John rightly says, these monster vehicles should be taxed out of existence.

After my book came out, I was asked to give the keynote address at a university conference on sustainability in Cairo. I would have loved to go, but couldn't square flying there and back with the theme. My offer to do it via videolink was refused. Some bloody 'sustainability'!

Underneath the bracken, a rich woodland flora still persists, hanging on since the trees were cleared, centuries ago. Now, with grazers gone, the trees are returning, and a highly diverse, rainforest ecosystem reforming. Why is this not happening across Ireland? 🌎
Police officer: I've been a police officer for over ten years and sometimes when I respond to a domestic call I say to the mother (who is the victim) 'how can you let your children go through this?' Me: How many times in 10 years have a you said to the perpetrating father…
Even if most of the University Presidents, the IUA, THEA, Royal Irish Academy, the HEA etc have nothing to say about the destruction of all universities in GAZA and continuing academic/research ties with Israel, individual academics can suspend support for Israeli universities..

According to the Minister for Agriculture, @McConalogue, sheep maintain "high-quality habitats and species-rich biodiversity" in our uplands. Say, what??? It's actually the very opposite. Here's the reality: ecological deadzones.

It's strange to read a book I finished 35 yrs ago based on an idea I had 50 yrs ago, but that is my life at the moment as I work on the intro to the 35th anniversary edition of "The Sexual Politics of Meat" coming in Nov. New subtitle: "A Feminist-Vegan Critical Theory."
It's not 'antisemitic' to call out Israeli terrorism. It's not 'antisemitic' to call out Israeli apartheid. It's not 'antisemitic' to call out Israeli genocide. It's not 'antisemitic' to call out the evil of Zionism. It IS, however, pro-human rights to call out all the above.
We are moving towards an irreversible tipping point within this century, scientists find in #AMOC simulation study. Incredibly worrying. Slowing the green transition actually means slowing the Gulf Stream, destabilising the entire planet. theguardian.com/environment/20…

The European wildcat is present across continental Europe, and generally doing fine. There's no reason why this native species wouldn't do similarly if reintroduced to Ireland.
The feasibility of reintroducing European wildcats is being explored in the South West of England. This species once lived in Ireland too, and we should be doing the same. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@PaddyRua @IrishRainforest There's that word again, 'generations'. Like, that makes it okay. 🙈
@PaddyRua @IrishRainforest They why call it a national park ? If the priority is sheep farming that's fine. But some land needs to be reserved for real conservation. Otherwise it's just a national park in name only.
@PaddyRua @IrishRainforest In any sane country it would.
@PaddyRua @IrishRainforest The state purchased on the basis of a natural park designation, not to be used for the specific commercial use of about 3-4 farms.
@PaddyRua I have a far bigger issue with a national park that belongs to ALL of us being kept in a wrecked state by sheep grazing. No rights come without responsibilities to do the right thing by everyone else.
I have a far bigger issue with a national park that belongs to ALL of us being kept in a wrecked state by sheep grazing. No rights come without responsibilities to do the right thing by everyone else.
@IrishRainforest Do you not have an issue with rights of those who have farmed there for generations being removed?
A lot of people talking about the rights of small handful of sheep farmers in what is now a national park on the Dingle Peninsula, and they're not entirely wrong. But what about everyone else's right to enjoy healthy ecosystems, or a habitable planet? Where's the balance?
So the Irish state spends €12 million buying land, designates it a national park, and then ... Announces it will allow sheep to continue to graze away virtually all diverse life. What a *total* farce.
