Ireland’s public consultation on wildlife legislation has drawn hundreds of submissions with conflicting proposals, including calls to reintroduce wolves and beavers, use contraceptives for deer, and establish a national bounty on feral cats.
Some advocate banning foxhunting, hare coursing, and badger snaring, while others seek to preserve these practices.
