I've been doing some research as I was going to visit Ireland for a holiday. And I found out from  http://www.anvilireland.ie/fulcrum.html?ep=19 that Ireland is an inherently cruel country. I'm shocked and appalled - I really thought the Irish were a nice bunch, but apparently they're actually malicious and ignorant. It makes me wonder what they really do for the 'craic'.

I know other countries all over the world, including my own, haven't a brilliant record re animal welfare/rights, but this has sincerely shocked me.

I'm boycotting Ireland and hope I can persuade others to do so.
