Badger Snaring Gallery (10 photos)
Images of badgers killed by the Irish Department of Agriculture as part of their so-called TB Eradication Scheme. Under licence from the National Parks and Wildlife Service, tens of thousands of badgers have been killed by the department so far. Their persecution of this so-called "protected species" has been described as "slaughter masquerading as science". To receive 5 campaign postcards for you and your friends to send to the Agriculture Minister, please send a stamped addressed envelope to Badger Snaring Postcards, ICABS, PO Box 88, Mullingar, Co Westmeath, Ireland. (If you require more than 5 cards, please let us know). Thank you.

Cockfighting Cruelty (12 photos)
Despite being illegal in Ireland, the blood sport of cockfighting still takes place in some parts of the country. The Irish Council Against Blood Sports is calling on members of the public to report any information about cockfighting activities to the Gardai. For the phone numbers of Garda stations all over Ireland, please visit: www.garda.ie/angarda/stations.html. You can also pass on information to ICABS or to the ISPCA National Cruelty Helpline on 1890 515 515. Similar to other blood sports like foxhunting, hare coursing and carted deer hunting (all of which are still legal here), the typical cockfight involves horrendous animal cruelty. Two cocks are thrown into an enclosed pit and encouraged to rip each other apart until one succumbs and dies. This bloody combat is cheered on by spectators, many of whom will be gambling on the outcome.

Coursing Protest - February 08 (5 photos)
Photos from anti-coursing protest in Clonmel, February 2008. A very big thank you to those who travelled to Clonmel for the protest, to those in Clonmel who expressed their support and to those who sent us messages of support from Ireland and abroad. Thank you also to the television (TV3 and RTE), radio and print media for helping to spread the message about coursing cruelty and the majority view in Ireland that a ban on this despicable blood sport must finally be implemented by the government.

The Cattery Fox (7 photos)
A set of fantastic fox photos taken by Muriel Hayden of Cuddles Cattery. The fox was a regular visitor to the County Galway cattery throughout the summer and was treated to daily dishes of cat food. "The cats were curious about him and we all loved to watch him," Muriel told ICABS. "I was very fortunate and felt privileged to have had the company of Basil this summer," she said. "He frequented my garden more or less daily for a couple of months. I run a boarding cattery and always have leftover cat food, which Basil seemed to enjoy. He would follow me up and down the cattery (from outside) as I worked and when I was in the garden he acted very like a dog, wrapping himself around my legs sometimes." Although Muriel is sad to add that Basil stopped coming around at the end of August and hasn't been seen since, she relishes the memories of this fascinating fox. Visit the Cuddles Cattery (www.cuddlescattery.ie/index.html) for more details about their 5-Star Cat Hotel.
