Animal welfare charity at centre of probe ‘cleans up its act’

An animal welfare charity, given three months to “clean up its act”, has said it complied with all proposals put forward in an independent probe.

The Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) shelter at Mahon had been subjected to site inspections by Cork City Council in June, which found some welfare deficiencies.

Concerns included the bagging of dead animals in a freezer storage unit and issues surrounding documentation when accepting, or signing over, pets.
