Pet dog shot as ‘hate campaign’ forces family to flee home

A DOMESTIC pet was shot and badly wounded in a series of intimidating acts that forced a family to flee a housing estate in Limerick.

A reported “hate campaign” led by the children of neighbours forced the family to vacate their home in Garryowen. The family’s mental torture follows shock revelations, in this newspaper yesterday, of widespread intimidation of elderly residents in Southill’s Keyes Park estate.

There, gangs of marauding children are running wild late at night.
