Joe Biden Out in Apparent Palace Coup Mon Jul 22, 2024 17:30 | Eugyppius Biden's team was still obliviously tweeting his resolve to fight on hours after he had decided to step down. So was the matter taken out of his hands? It has all the signs of an opportunistic palace coup, says Eugyppius.

Who Will Guard Us Against the Guardian?s ?Fact Checks?? Mon Jul 22, 2024 15:34 | David Craig The Guardian has published a 'fact check' of Donald Trump's claims about inflation and immigration.

Wicklow Co Co /ISPCA need to do their upmost for pound dogs.
WICKLOW County Council / ISPCA REFUSE RESCUE GROUPS ACCESS to SAVE ‘POUND DOGS’ LIVES
- DEMAND THAT WICKLOW COUNCIL MEMBERS ALLOW THESE DOGS TO BE SAVED/rehomed BY REPUTABLE RESCUES
The ISPCA run the WICKLOW pound on behalf of Wicklow county council. There are 2 dog wardens employed who have been doing the job for years and obviously by their stance they obviously think killing is perfectly acceptable.
They are obstructing all efforts to allow rescues in to help the dogs and have the backing of the council, the ISPCA do not intervene.
According to sources there has been no effective governance of the pound by the council at all - they just sign a cheque for them every year and don't want to know.
The council don’t appear to care or have a clue about the pound and insist all the dogs they kill are unsuitable for rehoming (44% in 2010 and 28% last year)
Dogs Trust can take some dogs as does Wicklow spca but there are lots of other dogs that need help.
Compassion towards the dogs is lacking in Wicklow Co Co and ISPCA.

BACKGROUND
A group called Chance Wicklow held a protest about the continual refusal of Wicklow County Council / ISPCA to allow Chance Wicklow volunteers access to the dogs at Wicklow Pound.
Chance apparently want to meet the dogs, photograph them and put their photo and profile up on social media with the aim of reuniting lost dogs and rehoming those dogs that are not reclaimed.
This system works well in other pounds and the co operation between pounds and rescues results in a very low percentage of dogs being killed.
Last year 79 dogs were killed in Wicklow Pound - in 2010 44% of dogs were killed.
We all want to make figures like this a thing of the past.
Chance have met with the council on two occasions requesting rescue access but the answer is still NO.
High kill rates are not acceptable when there is a tried, tested and humane alternative.
There is no excuse for the high kill rate in Wicklow Pound.
South County Dublin Council takes in 5 times as many dogs as Wicklow yet only has a 6% destruction rate.
South County Dublin work very successfully with a Dog's Life who photograph all dogs arriving at their pound.
Chance Wicklow want to copy the success that A Dog's Life have made.
Wicklow taxpayers pay almost €200,000 annually for a dog pound "service"
The ISPCA run the pound on behalf of Wicklow County Council.
We would like to see greater accountability and scrutiny of how Wicklow Pound is run.
Wicklow should be getting a first class service for that amount of money.
Chance would like to see all dogs rehomed responsibly from the pound.
We need EMAILS NOW to the Wicklow council Members asking for a compassionate decision here. ALLOW THE DOGS TO BE REHOMED/ STOP KILLING ABANDONED DOGS.
