It's time to get these in-breeds off the streets and it's not the horses, I mean.

They should stop that Pikey gathering post haste. But the politicians and Dublin city council are afraid of the Pavee Point Bullies. Mustn't do anything to stop the Knackers from doing their "traditional" activities even though those activities are anti-social to the point of being a public menace. The poor piebald horses are often mistreated and abused. When the ISPCA people try to stop the abuse they are set upon and the Gardai stand around with their arms crossed across their chests rocking back and forth.
