Cork set to get pet cemetery as 'backyard burials not the safest option' 

Councillor calls for feasibility study to be conducted 'to look for a location where families can bury a pet in Co Cork'

'Many people consider burying their pet in the backyard, but backyard burials are not always the safest or most reliable option. It poses risks to the community and the environment.'

Cork County Council is to look at developing its first dedicated pet cemetery because “backyard burials are not always the safest or reliable option”. 

There was unanimous support from fellow councillors when Fianna Fáil's Audrey Buckley proposed the move.
