Cork family of abused dog seek help paying veterinary bill
One Cork family’s cherished pet was recently abused, leaving him with severe disfiguring burns and gaping wounds.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) have placed a bounty of up to €2,000 on the head of the person who carried out this act.
However, the dog’s family has received the veterinary bill and it has amounted to more than they are able to afford. They have set up a fundraising page to help with the bill. You can find it HERE.
The family said: “We received the final bill off the vet and it has amounted to €1,336 and we simply cannot afford to pay it. We hope this will help with the bill and we thank everyone for your help, donations and prayers.”
PETA Foundation Director Elisa Allen has said that it is imperative this behaviour is stopped: "It's imperative that any community faced with a cruel and callous act such as this take measures to find the culprit and bring him or her to justice."
"Animal abusers are a danger to everyone – they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human – and must be caught before they act again."
Anyone with information on this case is encouraged to contact the Garda Confidential Line on 1800666111.
