"Animal Rescue Worker" pleads guilty to Animal Cruelty - wants the dogs back

Foxhound38

:mad:

This is a very shocking story, especially coming from a so-called animal rescue centre. What in jaysus happened that it ended up in that state of affairs, with the dogs starved and with no water, and with a carcass rotting in their kennels?

Is this operation still going?

Why was she fined only 250 euro and why is her getting those dogs back (or being allowed to have any animal in her care for that matter) even being discussed at the moment?

When are we going to take animal cruelty seriously as a crime in this country?

I suppose banning hunting and greyhound racing would be a start.

A €250 fine? So roughly €30 per neglected dog? Wow, what a deterrent :rolleyes:

She was prosecuted under the 1911 animal welfare act not the recent one. I'm not going to say any more on the whole thing cos its too bloody upsetting as I'm sat here with my two rescue pooches getting cuddles on the sofa.

Oh dear what a nasty woman.. I wonder was she gathering dogs to sell on or something seems odd to have only one or two breeds she should have got jail time

You're nothing but a cúnt of a human being if you chose to poison animals, especially for no logical reason.

"Cats causing untold property damage"

Jesus fúck me, that's retarded

Last lad I boxed, which was over a year ago now, was some cocky wanker getting thick at a lad for "looking like a fagg*t", someone pointed out that I was gay, so he turned and started laughing and telling loads of really crap gay jokes and slagging me, but in a dickish way. I laughed along until he got close enough then I decked him and broke his nose. The miserable little creature cowered away straight after that.

Delighted I put the cúnt in his place.

Last time I got punched was when I was fighting at 16.

Well I'd hope nobody would buy dogs in that state. I'd hope the Guards don't let her have the dogs back.

She wasn't selling them, looking at the evidence etc she is an animal hoarder with a god complex. This means she has a mental illness and will never acknowledge she was in the wrong. A very sad day for bull breeds.. Egar was one of the only rescues that would take dogs with dog to dog aggression, pit bulls often display this and most rescues will immediately pts as they are so difficult to re home.. She has screwed over all bull breeds in the country. Her friends and supporters need to get her help.

If they can't be rehomed, and she is entitled to get them back (mind-boggling how she might), it would be better for them to be put down.

dharma200

Listen I'm not defending her or anything, I am sickened, but 3000 animals have gone through egar In The last 15 years... I'd say the majority, unlike these poor unfortunates, were rehomed and cared for... I'm not defending her atall, but just seems like, well, unbelievable really and heartbreaking. There is a very informative blog online if you google her full name , then Lennox then blog.... Fascinating reading.. Almost like some sort of mad novel of I intrigue, conspiracy and nastiness.... Multiple aliases deceit and collusion.... Crazy stuff

Unfortunately she was prosecuted under the 1911 animal welfare act and not the recently changed legislation. We can but hope she won't ever be allowed an animal again and that her enablers stop. She needs to get mental help.

It's incredibly unfortunate - I have a rescue staffie myself and they make absolutely fantastic and well behaved companions with a little TLC and training. She's sitting beside me now wagging her tail and getting plenty of attention!

All to common for animal "rescue" people to be nothing more than hoarders....

Because this is Ireland. We abuse and make money from animals and there is absolutely no deterrent to mistreating them.

ShaShaBear

As others have said, there seemed to be a hoarding problem with her and a constant need for validation for her work. Although minimal effort was seen on social media sites for actually rehoming any of the dogs taken into her care. She seemed more interested in letting people see she had taken in another dog more so than trying to get it back out into the public. There was also mention from a few that she was very adamant in not letting people onto the premises. No-one expects a busy shelter to be sparkling and full of high-tech facilities (my own local shelter is completely helter-skelter at the best of times, but none of the animals are emaciated ) so one would have to wonder what she wanted to hide by refusing so many people entry.

It's really odd that this is a thing, because although I'd never actually made it down myself, she did offer to let me and a friend stay with her overnight a few years ago. Maybe it's a more recent development (as in, last 2 years) that she was SO unwelcoming?

It's quite possible that things have only recently started getting out of hand and she knows that. I'm sure, like many, she had great intentions to begin with, but it's no excuse!

As others have pointed out this all took place before the most recent legislation came into force, so she was prosecuted under the older one which doesn't allow for anything more stringent.

Absolutely, I agree.

Well, hopefully everything will work out and no more animals will be suffering by getting caught up in all this
