Karen Buckley

Cork Bishop asks for Karen Buckley's safe return

A mass is being held in Mourneabbey, Co Cork.

THE BISHOP FROM Karen Buckley’s Cork parish has issued a statement asking for the safe return of the student.

The Irish student has been missing in Glasgow since Sunday morning – when she was last seen at the apartment of a man on Dorchester Avenue in the city.

William Crean, the Bishop of Cloyne, said this evening that, “I wish to offer prayerful support to the family of Karen Buckley at this painful time as they await the safe return of Karen.”

I ask the parish community of Mourneabbey, as you gather together this evening for the Mass of Hope for the Buckley family, to join with me in prayer for the safe return of Karen, and for her anxious parents and brothers Brendan, Kieran and Damien.

A press conference was held yesterday with an appeal made for the young student’s safe return. Speaking in Glasgow, her mother Marian Buckley, said:

We just want Karen home safely, we are desperate.

Speaking to TheJournal.ie yesterday, local councillor John Paul O’Shea, said, “on behalf of the community, our thoughts and prayers are with the family.”

Police search 

Today has seen police in Glasgow examining the flat near to where Karen had last been seen.

The police underwater unit and sniffer dogs have also been deployed this afternoon to try and track down the missing student.

A handbag belonging to Karen was found at Dawsholm park in the city yesterday afternoon.

A mass is set to be held this evening at 7pm at the Church of Saint Michael the Archangel, Analeentha, Mourneabbey, Mallow, Co Cork.

Latest: Police divers have joined the search for Karen Buckley

    All that time as a vegetarian and she had no problem wearing and promoting leather, suede etc. Now that she’s a vegan, I hope she’ll stop wearing and/or promoting all wool products and any makeup with beeswax, otherwise she’s just another “do as I say not as I do” hypocrite.

    As for the Certificate in Nutriciobolloxx, I’d say the chemicals in her plastic honkers are more harmful to her than any animal fat she may have consumed.

    PETA’s euthanasia rate is “high” because they accept the animals “no-kill” shelters won’t: those who are suffering from horrific injuries and diseases, elderly, and on the verge of death. See some of them here: http://www.peta.org/b/thepetafiles/archive/2013/04/05/euthanasia-we-wont-run-from-what-needs-to-be-done.aspx. I commend PETA for being there to do the humane thing for these animals even though it makes their “numbers” an easy target for haters. And hats off to Rosanna for saving lives by choosing a humane and healthy diet. I know her ad will inspire many people to consider going vegan, too!

    Yeah. His blog is really interesting, and disturbing (just from the stuff that is peddled by snakeoil salesmen) because the guy is a doctor, and knows his stuff. But he also explains things very well without going overly into technical jargon.

    One of the really disturbing guys to read about is Patrick Holford. (There are videos of him on youtube being shown for the fraud he is) The guy has made a mint out of a book called ‘Optimum nutrition for the mind’, which is largely total rubbish. There are some nuggets of info, but the majority of it is rubbish, and in many ways dangerous. Holford has a degree/ diploma from a nutritional institute of some name, but the thing is, he founded that institute. He owns it. So he essentially gave himself a degree without doing the work for it.
    He has even urged people to write ‘complimentary information’ on him on his Wikipedia page.
    Go into a chemist, and you will see this quack’s vitamins on the shelf, with his name on the box.
    How he got into reputable pharmacies, I will never know.

    A vegan girl at work was giving me earache yesterday for swatting a mosquito. Apparently, me stopping myself being bitten was ‘barbaric’. She suggested that I try to ‘be like the mosquito’, so that I might better connect with the lesser creatures of the planet and in doing so become happier as a person.

    So today I walked up to her, stabbed her in the leg, inserted a straw and attached it to a dyson. She was right you know, I do feel much happier than I did yesterday!

    I did this for health reasons after watching a document on YouTube called FOOD THAT KILLS.

    However doing veggie full time would be torture if you have to eat out and everyone seems to think your doing it to piss them off?

    Ok firstly there Rosanna, you are not a genius, you are promoting an organization that not only kills lots of animals but stops animals being re-homed and uses celebrity endorsements like yours to pay all their executives high salaries. Here is some reading for you http://www.petakillsanimals.com/ . Secondly we are ment to eat meat as part of our diets, thats why we evolved as omnivores and you do not get all your needs by not consuming animal products. Oh and finally think about this with your smart thinking there Rosanna if everyone became vegans all farm land would be used to grow vegetables and animals would be slaughtered by the millions cause they consume what is now our only food resource. Cows, pigs, sheep, chickens would be wiped into extinction, because they are useless without being for food. So the next time you spout your alternative lifestyle or get your kit off to promote a dangerous charity, maybe stop and think about what your doing.

    Actually we went to the same college, the lecturer who wrote those notes promoting veganism may somewhat have changed her stance after pregnancy and childbirth. Her notes were based primarily on the China study a non peer reviewed book promoting veganism. Back in the real world, finding long term healthy vegans in their prime years are rare. I was also vegan and tried to make it work, spent an additional 12 years vegetarian until I realised that also has its challenges. Eating more vegetables well that’s a great idea but veganism, ok in the short term but longer term not really.

    Are you seriously telling me to open my mind, I was vegan. plenty of vegan bodybuilders, we must travel in very different circles. Rosanna already said in her article that vegans are leaner, which is true, part of that is less fat the other is less muscle, as you will know vegan diets are low in creatine which helps provide bulk to muscle. Vegans have to work harder and supplement more to achieve the same results. On a personal note I resolved my own back problems of 13 years when I went back to eating meat also gained more muscle from the same daily activities. If vegetarianism is working for you and you are happy then I wish you all the best.

    Google vegan bodybuilders and you’ll see John. My friends raised their kid mostly vegan all his life- he’s now 6ft1 and muscley as fck, he was doing cage fighting last year- the idea that vegans are unhealthy wimpy or skinny needs to be challenged. Veganism works long term and there are plenty of healthy vegans in the prime of their life not like you say. Just cos it didnt work out for you, you don’t have to discredit it to ease your conscience.

    Actually, lactose intolerance is quite common in Ireland, and there’s probably many people out there who are lactose intolerant but just don’t know it. I was discovered to be lactose intolerant 2 years ago, but it cost me a fortune to get tested so I could see many people not bothering if it’s suspected that they are. For someone who loves cream and cheese( but not cream cheese!) it’s a pain in the ass!

    Is that for me? Well when I was vegan i don’t remember having bad breath and haven’t noticed bad breath on other vegans, maybe a fondness of garlic perhaps which i don’t personally find offensive. A section of the vegan community who focus on low fat raw vegan food consume huge amounts of fruit as a result. Dental caries are a lot more common unless great care is taken with teeth so maybe you came across someone in this group! Also vegans being more health conscious(sweeping generalisation coming) will often use fluoride free toothpastes with herbal extracts which in my experience don’t clean teeth aswell or keep breath as fresh.

    That’s what I was thinking..
    She seems to be completely ignorant to the fact that the body requires a certain amount of saturated fat, not much – but it is required.
    As are vitamin B12 (only way for a vegan to get B12 in their diet is to eat soil), D3 (we don’t get enough sunshine here for optimal blood serum levels), and EPA / DHA (because the omega 3 in plant foods is ALA and mammals do not convert it particularly well).

    The vegan diet is a very difficult one to get right, and usually involves a huge over reliance upon soy – which is full of phytoestrogens.

    There’s benefits to being primarily vegetarian, or reducing meat intake drastically – but with regards veganism – it is a moral decision, to spin it as a health reason is to be in denial of the reality of our bodies requirements.

    A vegan diet is probably OK if you’re a grown, healthy adult. I’ve heard of kids being taken away from their parents because of malnutrition over various diets. Good luck and see how long you last.

    I’ve tried going vegetarian before. It worked as long as I stayed home and cooked for myself. But as soon as I went home to the folks, I had to eat that pot roast. Plus, it can be a problem when traveling.

    There are plenty of sources of protein besides meat.
    However, plant based proteins tend to be “incomplete”, this means that not all of the required amino acids are found in the one plant. So you would need to combine your protein with a grain – like rice and beans.
    It is possible to get your full protein requirement without touching any meat. But protein is not the problem with vegan diets.

    As a matter of interest, when you got your cholesterol results, was it just the 7.1 or did they bother telling you the breakdown?

    You are supposed to get a HDL score as well as an LDL score. And if the LDL (“bad” cholesterol) makes up less than 20% of the total of the two then you don’t actually have a problem.

    And bear in mind – during times of stress, the body produces it’s own cholesterol, and this tends to affect your results. Reducing stress is a very important part of reducing cholesterol levels.

    A lot of people choose veganism out of love for animals, and there is nothing wrong with that ideal.
    The problem is we aren’t supposed to be vegans. We aren’t supposed to eat as much meat as we tend to, but that doesn’t mean we are supposed to go to the other extreme and exclude it altogether.
    As I said above, the vegan diet is an extremely difficult diet to remain healthy on. It may be good for the short term, but realistically it is not balanced, it is deficient in certain factors.
    It most certainly is not a diet that one should undertake without in depth research on nutritional requirements, sources and bioavailability first.

    I could care less what kind of lifestyle she chooses for herself, though I do worry about her sharing pseudoscientific diet tips on how to drop to a size 8 and get better muscle tone without exercising, because a vegan, or even vegatarian, diet should not be attempted by those who don’t have the time or resources to make sure they’re getting a well balanced diet.

    But what I really object to is another celebrity helping to promote the God-awful PETA… Even the most cursory Googling of that word should throw up enough negative reports about them as an organisation to put anyone who claims to care about animal welfare off supporting them. They have the highest kill rate of any shelter or rescue organisation in the US, and thanks to the publicity afforded them by the participation of ill-informed celebrities they gobble up the lions share of public donations and resources for animal welfare charities. What’s important to note, however, is that this publicity is a two way street, and they garner as much publicity (internationally) for HER as she is getting for them, so I would be interested to know: just how ill-informed is she? Does she know the truth about PETA and is willing to work with them anyway because the occasional photo-op for Dogs Trust doesn’t get her featured on the Huffington Post? Maybe another opinion piece is called for? Rosanna Davison: Why I Choose to Work with PETA, Despite Their Appalling Record in Animal Welfare.

    THAT I would be interested to read.

    “I stopped eating meat in my early teens, because every season I would have a group of motherless or sick lambs to care for”

    She’s so stupid, implying that on her granny’s farm they just decided to slaughter random sheep to eat while they were rearing their lambs, and that was the reason why there were sick and motherless lambs to feed.

    The reason there was motherless and sick lambs was because the lambs mothers may have got sick or died, leaving behind an orphan lamb, which the farmer rightly cared for. What an idiot she obviously knows nothing about farming anyway.

They set such a bad example and encourage young girls and women to act/behave in a sexual manner in order to share an opinion on a topic. Any wonder why men have such little respect for women? Any wonder why theres derogatory comments from some readers. Sadly i don’t see a ‘lady’ in red anymore no matter how many chilies are have around the pic.

    Next week, my column for the ‘For Every Animal You Don’t Eat, I’ll Eat Three’ Society. We are a completely free society who, in order to prevent animal overpopulation, will eat three animals for every one animal that a vegetarian/ Vegan does not eat.

    I support animal rights, completely, such as the ISPCA, and any No-Kill animal shelter (those who house animals and refuse to put them down, preferring to find them a home). PETA, on the other hand, are for those who don’t do an ounce of research into animal rights, preferring to believe the rubbish they are told.
    Thankfully, there are a certain number of celebrities who are standing up to PETA. Jennifer Lawrence for one, as well as Penn and Teller.
