Animal cruelty is rampant: what on earth is wrong with us?

A FEW months ago I rescued an abandoned female dog that I found collapsed under a rail of clothing in a department store in Cork city.

I believe she may have been hit by a car and crawled into the store for shelter. I managed to get her to a vet’s surgery and took her home and cared for her.

I called her Jess. I advertised and did everything I could to find her owner, but without response.
