A lot of our time and energy is put into answering calls on reported Cruelty Cases. We allow the person reporting to remain anonymous although we do like to have a phone number in case we have trouble finding the location of the animals in question. We answer reports of cruelty to Dogs, Cats, Horses or Ponies and even Farm Animals. It is a very hard and often times sad job, but helping the animals in desperate situations can be very rewarding. We have a good few Cruelty cases on our Cruelty pages but we will WARN you that some of the pics can be quite GRAPHIC……… |

We called this lovely New Forest Pony Echo, he had pretty bad wounds on his body which had become badly infected and no Vet treatment was sought for him! He was removed from the owners property with the help of the local Garda and came into Cottage Rescue, the owner called a few days later and surrendered him to us. It took three months to heal his wounds, they had to be hosed out with water every day, dressed and creams & sprays put on him, he was very nervous in the beginning as he was in so much pain and so sore but Echo got so good in the end, he was a darling. He has gone to County Clare to a great friend of ours here in Cottage Rescue where he is with a couple of other horses on a farm to live with a lovely family who love him dearly and where he will never know CRUELTY ever again! The owner was fined €500.00 for cruelty and €100.00 expenses, the Judge said he would put him in Jail but the laws were not with him on that and that if he ever comes before him again in Court for Cruelty again he will send him to jail………. The Judge highly commended Cottage Rescue for our Voluntary work involved in Animal Rescue and Cruelty which we were delighted with! So all in all it is good news all around for this lovely pony but sadly we were too late for the little white pony whose body we found in a ditch dead and decomposed. |

We were successful in Thurles Court on Wednesday 25th April 2007 A Cappawhite Man was fined €600 for Cruelty. He had left this pony in a field with these horrific injuries for 3 weeks. |

What can I say about these pictures??? Nothing can be said to describe dead animals in a field like this. But we can ponder on the PAIN, MISERY and SUFFERING they must have endured with no feed or fodder last winter which was a harsh one, electric fencing to keep them within this area with no grazing and the pain they must have Suffered and the Slow and Painful death due to starvation must have been horrific! No animals should have to suffer like this…. There is no excuse for this type of CRUELTY!!! |
