Starving dogs rescued from ‘appalling’ conditions

Several starving dogs who were only being fed animal entrails have been rescued from “appalling” conditions on a farm in West Cork.

Inspectors from the Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) swooped on the farm in recent days and removed the animals to the society’s shelter in Mahon, where they are now recovering.

“This is not one of the worst cases I’ve dealt with — there was no physical abuse of the animals,” said CSPCA manager Vincent Cashman.
