From Ireland to Wales, with love
Equally well known is the sanctuary’s Paddy Barrett who has spent a large part of his life caring for and rescuing abandoned and neglected donkeys.
Paddy’s grandfather kept donkeys as long ago as 1926 and Paddy’s father, a welfare officer in the ISPCA (Irish Society for the Prevention for Cruelty to Animals) from 1964 to 1981. Little wonder then that Paddy was reared with a keen appreciation for animal welfare and donkeys in particular. He too served as an ISPCA inspector for a number of years until the sanctuary in Liscarroll demanded all of his time.
