CSPCA chief lauds improved standards

The new manager of the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has vowed to rebuild confidence in the organisation and make it a national centre of excellence for animal welfare.

Vincent Cashman was speaking after the CSPCA’s AGM which came at the end of a difficult year for the organisation.

It has been plagued for months by allegations of animal neglect and cruelty, which it claims were part of a co-ordinated “hate campaign”.
