   Wild Animals Long ago there were many wild animals around this locality only, the little rabbit, hare, otter, badger. The fourlegged little animals were common in the South of Ireland and still are. There is a cure in rabbits flesh. It is good for pains and their soup is great to purify the blood. The little squirrel is often seen running around the road in Sir John Keane's wood near Cappaquin. They are lovely little animals. The hare is rather wild but is often caught alive and sold for 7s-6d for coursing.
