You Dr Chris Brown a supposed lover of animals and a vet no less are an egotistical fool obviously more concerned with your celebrity than the welfare of animals and condone it seems ( there is no excuse for your ignorance if that is what you are claiming - a little research would have shown you and left no doubt) breeding of animals to be petted for selfish humans to take selfies and then be slaughtered by cowards - I wouldn't let you within cooee of my animals 😡😡😡😡

I've heard people say the same thing about the crappy supermarket pet food he endorses. Apparently it's not great but he got paid so who cares.

Today's Dublin Rubbish Report highlights a responsible local business, and one which is much loved in this area from what I can tell.

This was on their front window in a prominent spot as a message to those grabbing a bite and consuming it out the front of their premises. There are actually council bins in the immediate vicinity, too, so the necessary facilities are in place.

It's great to see someone waving a penalty about, too, even at the risk of offending those who think fouling the streets is a constitutional right, though one does wonder if it is ever enforced, and by whom.

The State Government

They commission a review into the Fire Services, it comes back with 20 recommendations, most of them basic ones and 2 major changes and the Government agrees to adopt the 18 basic ones but not the 2 major changes that everyone wants...

Just another waste of time and money by the Andrews Government, all talk, no action.

On my perception of Dublin being neglected, this Irish Times article possibly offers some background:

ASIC.

Fair enough, regulate things & protect consumers, all for it. But stop making out that everyone in the finance industry is a scammer or a crook.

Anyone heard of 'add on' insurances? In particular when you finance a car? There are policies you can take to cover your payments if you're sick, die, lose your job etc. Also for if your car's written off to cover the difference between insurance value and balance on finance.

Yes, there are people that 'jam' them into customers, tell them they're not approved without them etc. There are commissions on these products. BUT for those of us like me that do the right thing & just offer it to people & let them make up their own mind, we're not doing anything wrong! I'd hate the day our dealership gets sued by someone that says "I've lost my job & had the car repossessed & if I had've known about an insurance to cover it I would've taken it" That's why I offer it all to everyone & they sign to say either they're taking it or they're not. Totally up to them. Even when they ask me "what do you think I should take", I don't (& legally can't) give personal advice. So frustrating. Go away ASIC

Has anyone ever heard of these insurances? Or would you take them?

Bird slaughter season aka shoot anything that moves dickwad season starts tomorrow

Below average rainfall across the state has reduced duck numbers and habitats, prompting authorities to issue stricter bag limits for when the season starts on March 19.

The hunting of Australasian blue-winged shovelers will be prohibited, due to reduced habitat and lower numbers, the Government said.

The RSPCA said it was "appalled" that the season would go ahead.

RSPCA Victoria's chief executive Liz Walker said the data on population numbers was dire and forecast weather conditions for the remainder of summer posed a serious risk to the species.

"Duck and waterfowl populations are already dangerously low, breeding is almost non-existent, and the habitat has shrunk dramatically," she said.

"Forecast weather conditions for the remainder of summer represent a dire risk to the already embattled species."

But Victoria's Minister for Agriculture, Jaala Pulford, said the Government supported a sustainable duck hunting season.

"There are many tens of thousands of people for whom this is a really important weekend for the year; there are country towns in Victoria that need to know if the season is going ahead so that arrangements for a very, very busy period can be made," she said.

On the news they said its cancelled somewhere in the state. But it's not enough. Hope all their guns back fire and shoot their own heads off, preferably for a slow painful death, like the one they inflict on the defenceless birds
