Wild Bulls on the Rampage in Loughrea, Co. Galway, Ireland 2003

The gallivanting days are over for wild Bulls who have been roaming through East Galway.
It took nine days and 30 local people to round up and pen the 9 bulls and 14 other cattle which have been roaming through east Galway for seven or eight years.
For years they raged out of control in the hills above Loughrea.
The runaway bulls belong to local farmer Martin Kelly who admits he is unable to control them. Kilnadeema farmer Bob Callanan recalls the many dangers the bulls have posed to their cows over the years.
Officials from the Department of Agriculture did nothing to solve the matter, eventually deciding to bring in the army to shoot the animals. It was at this point the local people got together to stop this action from going ahead.
A local politician stood forward to take on the role of a latter day sheriff.
Local councillor Michael Regan directed the volunteers involved with rounding up the wild bulls and other cattle. As well as helping with the roundup, local people also provided transportation to bring the animals to a nearby farmer’s slatted shed.
The herd of 25 bulls, cows and calves has an estimated value of 25,000 euro. The intention now is to sell the herd and Martin Kelly is happy to be compensated. He plans to start again with some tamer cattle.

The height of human-kind-ness is to beat an animal when there is no obvious need for it

[@BoMwarriorVlog]

Seemed obvious to me they were trying to get them from one pen to another. 🤷 And even more obvious that we didn't see a full video of where the bulls came from and where they were going afterwards.

Un kind ness you mean

[@georgedoorley5628]

hear about those cattle at the time ........they were gone full ferrel by all accounts ........one man was badly injured helping in the roundup .......would be hard pushed to get help to do a roundup like that these days .......the youth have no stomach for the dangers that are involved ...!

[@johnmcintyre800]

If you were in a confined space with bulls that were not being handled regularly or gone feral You kinda have to keep them moving and a little bit afraid don't worry about them bulls getting a few slaps they wouldn't barely notice it when you see the fight amongst themselves then you will real damage being done brave or foolish man to go in that close to them but fair play to him for doing it

[@theoracle8560]

@@BoMwarriorVlog seems obvious to me that they haven’t a clue what they’re doing and are beating the cattle because that’s all they know

@TheIrishMegaphone genesis 1.29 precedes the meat allowing verses... "I give you every seed bearing plant it shall be food for you"... "and the fruit's of the trees you may eat" It is seen that when a child refuses to eat it's greens they are allowed some sausage because they throw tantrums so similarly God allows his complaining children to eat flesh but in Isaiah 66.3 He clearly states He is "tired of your burned offerings and the fat of rams is of no use to Him".... Why would God who has the power to make whatever He likes...ie manna for Moses ...desire the bacteria ridden flesh of those beings He created Only you shall not eat flesh with the Life Blood in it... Genesis 9.3 As it's not possible to drain all blood from meat (as can be clearly seen when it is left in the fridge for a few days there is blood dripping from it) so it's a contradiction just like so many bible texts "Fear and dread of you shall come over all the animals, all that moves, all the bird's, and all the fishes" ... Genesis 9.2 Is that what being human-kind means ?

Stop poking them so hard and yelling so much. You are creating the situation.
