An Irish animal rescue charity is calling on the Government to introduce a huge ‘neutering’ programme in the New Year.
‘My Lovely Horse Rescue’ says they’ve never seen such a year for animal cruelty with the number of abandoned old dogs and puppies reaching new records.
The charity’s co-founder, Martina Kenny, says the cost-of-living-crisis has been feeding into the problem – with people forced out of homes, and unable to care for pets – or pay for vets.
