I was talking to a local couple in a bar and got talking about the problems on PW with dogs !!! They then started to talk about Dog Hell near Polaris World.
Apparently it was in many of the local rags and free monthly magazines about an unlicensed kennel less than 1 km from PW. Last year there were over 40 dogs, in dreadful conditions, who were left for weeks at a time with no food. It got so bad that some of the dogs started attacking the weaker ones and eating them before they had even died . They even dug up those which had previously died of malnutrition or starvation and had been buried in shallow graves by the owner because they were starving. A few local english people have been trying with the help of a local charity to get this place closed down. The authorities removed 38 dogs after the cannibalism incident , many of which had to be put down as they were so ill.
The case went to court and she blamed everyone apart from herself for what had happened. The final ruling is still awaited but a mere 300 euro fine is probably all she will get. The site www.animalcrueltynearpolarisworld.com goes into more detail, She is supposed to have four dogs now but this has already crept up to eight, they now have a horse which they kept shackled (front legs tied together) again the police had to be called in to stop this. The horse is also being abused by the husband, apparently he was seen punching the horse in the face on several occasions for no reason what so ever apart from him being a bully or the enjoyment he gets from inflicting pain and fear on defenseless animals.
It cost 6000 euros to take this woman to court and I offered to highlight this case on here in the hope that those of you like myself are shocked and appauled by this and happening so close to PW, in the hope that if every one on this site could donate 1 euro to this cause it would enable them to continue to fight the case and get this place closed down.
The site has a fundraising link which tells you how you can donate through paypal. Please state on the payment that you are from PW so that local people know that we do give a damn about what is going on around our local area.
Thanks for reading this.
