Three dogs seized from deplorable living conditions in Tipperary

Inspector Lacey described the property as "filthy with raw meat strewn everywhere"

Yesterday (5th May 2022), ISPCA Animal Welfare Inspectors, assisted by Gardai from the Community Policing Unit in Cahir, seized three dogs from a property in Tipperary, where they were found to be living in deplorable conditions.

ISPCA Inspector Alice Lacey said:  “The living conditions inside the property were filthy with raw meat strewn everywhere amongst other rubbish.  Two dogs were discovered inside the property where the windows were barricaded with wooden pallets, keeping the dogs in complete darkness. The other dog was loose outside and there was no water available for any of the dogs”.

All three dogs are now safe in ISPCA care where they are currently being assessed by a veterinary practitioner.  No further information is available at this time pending an investigation.
