According to Maurice, drink and drugs are the “root cause” of most animal cruelty cases that come his way

A disabled pensioner taking in a husky, a dog bottled by its drunk owner, and a horse rescue from a high-rise apartment are just some of the issues that a Kerry animal rescue centre has had to deal with so far this year.

Whilst everyone else seems to be blaming the pandemic and cost-of-living crisis for the overcrowding in our country’s animal shelters, Maurice Enright, owner of Sera Huskey and Animal Rescue in Listowel is putting the blame on drink and drugs.
