A.) Good dog behaviour starts with aware owners. Behaviour classes teach owners how to teach their dogs, making owners much more conscious of the issues around picking-up dog poo, lead protocol, socialisation, muzzling, chipping, exercise, nutrition, observing the bye-laws.  B.) Good dog behaviour depends on skilled owners. Agility Courses again teach owners skills that are both mentally and physically stimulating for their dogs, enhancing the bond between owner and dog and making for obedient, well exercised and contented dogs. C.) Good dog behaviour relies on knowledgeable owners. A dedicated Dog Park permits dogs to run free in a safe environment, socialise with both people and other dogs, make friend, learn from other dogs, while owner have the chance to exchange experiences and know-how with other owners, an invaluable resource.  Good Owners = Good Dogs and this benefits everyone in the community.   

It's important because our Dogs are family and they want to kill them off and it's not fair people are jumping on the band wagon and what they don't understand they fear what they don't understand 

With people power we can achieve a lot. I know so many people in my area who have grown to love the fact that we can have such an amazing creature in our own back gardens in Dublin. We should stand up and protect them.

We ask the Irish government to put excessive pressure on the Turkish government and parliament to reverse the new law that calls for the "euthanasia" of stray animals in Turkey.    Also, we ask people to consider a different location than Turkey for travel, unless the Turkish government reverses this law.   Please sign & share this petition on behalf of the voiceless animals.  

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about banning XL bullies in Ireland. I’m creating this petition to stop this ban. XL bully attacks in Ireland are minimal compared to those of German Shepherds, Rottweilers etc, however these breeds aren’t banned, only restricted. The government is jumping to the extremes of a ban instead of doing what they should be doing which is restricting ownership. While I’m aware that XL bullies are large dogs with a lot of strength, in the right hands they are amazing dogs. The breed in general is not prone to any form of aggression unlike breeds such as the American Pitbull terrier. I want this petition to help people realise we need to restrict ownership, not ban the whole breed. 

Because animals are suffering in Dublin Zoo.

We would appreciate if everyone from the area could sign this and get the equestrian facilities for the area that are needed. Our kids put there hearts and soles into looking after there horse keeping themselves busy and out of trouble until the horse pound come in and does a clear out after all the tender loving care and money  has gone into our horses the last visit from the pound was at 10.40pm on the 18/06/2024 siezed 5 horses and left many young kids heartbroke this so going on far to long now the love for horses is not going to leave the area by just keep pounding the horse but pounding the younger generations horses is just going to give them more free time and push up anti social behaviour in our area so we are asking for a safe and secure location for the horses for our younger generations to keep them doing what they love and keep them off the streets 

The abuse uncovered by RTÉ Investigates at Shannonside Foods' horse abattoir in Kildare has shocked us all. Footage captured by RTÉ has shown horses being hit, punched, whipped and struck with plastic piping.  Together, we are calling on the Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue to shut down this abattoir with immediate effect. If those who own the abattoir feel it's OK to treat animals like this, they shouldn't be allowed anywhere near them.  Please sign and share our petition today, and help us get this abattoir shut down.

Northern Ireland, particularly the Sperrins, is being overwhelmed by wind farms, with insufficient consideration of their drawbacks. The Sperrin region, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), faces the imminent threat of becoming a dumping ground for large, seemingly eco-friendly energy projects. We believe there is currently an unsustainable over-reliance on wind energy development as the primary means to meet renewable energy targets. This over-dependence on wind energy endangers our overall energy security, further diminishes our already shrinking biodiversity and natural heritage, negatively affects community well-being and health, and eliminates fair opportunities and benefits for everyone in our transition to a greener, more sustainable future.

Nearly 4 years later there has been no movement on this. After numerous email correspondences with the Department of Justice and James Browne’s office there has been no clear answers. I now need the support of the public to get this legislation fast tracked. In the words of Deputy James Browne 21st July 2020 - “Currently the theft of a pet is treated by the law as the very same as stealing a deck chair. Yet, the theft of a pet can have a devastating effect on its owners and their family. This should be reflected in the sanction given out for such a theft. Where the theft is of therapy or support dog there should be an even greater sanction.” Dogs and other companion pets are still being stolen daily in Ireland. The theft of a pet needs its own classification and adequate punishment. Pet theft is a LOW RISK/ HIGH REWARD CRIME.

Having a large mural of US president Joe Biden in Ballina reflects very badly on the people of Ballina, Mayo and Ireland who hold very different views to Joe regarding the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

the Cox family need a dog because it will teach us responsibility, commitment, to get off screens,be more active, sharing and will also give us emotional support.
