In 2006 Animal Rights Action Network (ARAN), Ireland's national grassroots animal protection group organized the first ever national stop cruelty to animals rally in Dublin. We were joined by huge numbers of our own members and supporters and were supported by many national animal rescue and respected protection groups who took time out of their busy schedule to be with us on December 10th 2006 to make a statement that cruelty to animals is not wanted here in Ireland. Our event was actually so successful and so well organized that it received headlines on literally every news paper and radio station across the country. The Irish Gardai congratulated ARAN on such a wonderful, peaceful and well organized event! We thank them also for their cooperation in the run up to our event. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday, on rain soaked Shop Street awash with bargain hunters, Galway IPSC did an awareness stall on Israeli Blood Diamonds in a continuing effort to persuade people not to purchase gemstones crafted in Israel and thus strenghtening the economy of a rogue state that, in regards to human rights, shamelessly exults and behaves like a mad dog off the leash. Israel, the dominant and alpha player in the cut diamond business, unlike Canada, doesn't mark the diamonds it crafts and the UN, true to form, exempts these conflict stones from the Kimberley Process thus leading to purchasers unwittingly buying the ordure of Zionism. read full story / add a comment

It is not so easy to build a time line on the issue of Tara and all that this entails. For starters the issue began many years ago and the campaigns have largely evolved with new people coming on to help as was necessitated, however, the General Election of 2007 provided a useful focus and of course saw a corrupt Minister for Environment replaced by one who is morally inept and constitutionally Hamstrung.. but I will give it a go. http://www.savetara.com/articles/2007/122707_contractor....html read full story / add a comment

Benazir Bhutto was shot in the neck and then in the head. The asassin then blew himself up and killed 16 people. President Musharraf has appealed for calm. He has not stated that the planned January 5th election will go ahead. George W Bush has condemned the attack, as has Gordon Brown. Both of these leaders are experiencing political difficulties at home with Brown embroiled in an Afghanistan scandal. read full story / add a comment
