The first pro hunting/field sports/greyhound racing demo of it's kind in Ireland and what a turn out over 8,000 followers protesting against the anti Gormley of the Green Party who are a joke, more interested in killing off rural Ireland than saving the planet!
I am sure once word spreads there will be many more at the next demo.
I bumped in to Michael Dunphy and it was good to see him there and have a chat, like minded people standing up against our persecutors.
There were gun clubs, fishing clubs, foxhound clubs, coursing clubs, greyhound fans all sorts of people with all sorts of backgrounds but all with one common goal RISE! Rural Ireland Says Enough!
As for the antis I saw 4 young girls and 2 young lads (only that many because it was a gloriously sunny day) They looked like students to me, not the hard core anti greyhound folk we are used to, nevertheless as a pro hunting lady walked by them and said "how many of you, and how many of us" The shout from the antis was "Murderers" Sorry but I did shout out "Lesbians!" and the rest of the RISE! crowd drowned out their pathetic shouts with roars and cheering and fox horns blowing.
8,000 supporters of RISE! and 6 antis - why are we being held to ransom by such a small minority of people?
