Rawhide!
The Connacht Tribune reports that the Dept. of Agriculture and the Army are drawing up a plan to slaughter a number of wild bulls that have been terrorising Kilnadeema in south Galway. According to Fine Gael TD Paul Connaughton
the bulls have been driving cattle beserk around fields, knocking down fences, terrorising people in contact with them, and bulling young heifers which should be not be put in calf at such a young age.
To be honest, he could just as easily be talking about his constituents! No sign of any complaints from the heifers, mind.
I don't know which is the more worrying prospect; horny bulls or army sharpshooters out to kill them. Either way, I think I'll give hillwalking a miss in that area for a while.
