Finally!!! The ISPCA backtracks on the images they posted of staffies and pitbuls after pressure from many partys including the Party for Animal Welfare candidate Samantha Dooley.
And these are the new photos being used for the xl bully.

Does not help Kodi though - the dog killed in Louth.

I have the details under the FOI Act in relation to why Kodi was killed. It was largely due to the images supplied by the ISPCA and if anyone knows the owner of Kodi, tell them to get in touch with this page.
Read post below:

I wrote an article last month calling out the ridiculous photographs used to identify the xl bull dog. These photos were supplied by the ISPCA – the so called leaders in Irish animal welfare.
Im delighted to say, Heather Humphries department has made changes in this regard and the ISPCA photos were removed.
Id like to thank Lynn Boylan and Paul Murphy TD and all those that campaigned against this absolute nonsense supplied by the Ispca as to what an xl bully is.
Below are the new images of an XL bully.
So staffy and pitbul owners – you can breathe easy again.
Thanks again to Suzi Walsh, Ciaran Walsh (not related to suzi) and Pat Edwards for assisting me with this article.
The xl bully article I wrote is below and the new photos published by Humphries department is also following….for those that have not read the article please do!

‼️𝗨𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗹: 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 17-𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿-𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝗳 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝗸𝘆‼️

We are urgently appealing for help to find a much-loved 17-year-old deaf husky who has been missing for a week today. 𝗦𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗴𝗲 on December 7th, after a garden fence blew down. At the time, she was wearing a pink jacket.

The area has been searched extensively on foot and with drones, but so far, there is no sign of her. There was a 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹 on the morning of 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆, 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 11𝘁𝗵, and we are pleading with anyone who may have information to come forward.

Please remember, 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻, 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗼𝗴 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝗻. Under the 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗗𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘀, it is a legal requirement to notify the authorities.

The husky 𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲. Her owner is heartbroken and desperate to get her home.

If you have any information or have seen her, please contact us immediately at 085 864 5366. Let’s bring her home to the loving care she needs.

Unfortunately she is not the Husky that was found in Armagh. If she does go into any pounds, her microchip will be scanned and her owner will be contacted.

The amount of BS on facebook about Deise Animal Sanctuary is incredible.
One woman claiming to be an expert just said "there were dogs with gapping wounds".
So more than 1 dog.
That was an unfounded lie.
What she saw was a fresh wound behind a cats ear that more than likely happened in a fight with another feral cat from the group of moutain ferals that Deise has an ongoing TNR program for....
Below is a photo of a pig having a snooze in dirt.... nothing uncommon here. Pigs love mud and dirt! They will fall alseep in mud!
The Ispca published it as a illustration of cruelty???? Or did they want people to think it was dead?
Any pig experts know whats wrong with the pig in this image?

2 sides to every story.....

Ive seen photos going around of Deise Animal Sanctuary that the Ispca posted.
These are wildly misleading.
They took a bird, killed it and lay it on a metal slab then took a photo of it dead and published it....
HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THEM DO THIS BEFORE?
Attached is an actual photo of where the birds were. Why didnt they publish this?

The site is up in the mountains. Its muddy and wet in the winter ( when ispca went in ) and green and lovely in summer.
There was another photo of a pig that looked dead... it was actually sleeping, because the pigs were content and happy there.
Below is a photo of another part of the sanctuary were the pigs roamed.
But the ISPCA didnt show the judge or public these images.
Finally, the main area of the sanctuary was never photographed according to volunteers and it hasnt been published by ispca. See images attached of where most the animals "hung out during the day"
***These are not old pics***
Ispca went in 22 months ago at the end of winter when people were returning covid dogs in droves and the site was damp and muddy...
Id like to see this case go to high court where both sides of the story will be heard.
No disrespect to clonmel courts - but they only heard what ispca and dafm said....

Important Notice:
Last week I posted a Cane Corso to be rehomed. In the post I informed people that this breed is restricted in Ireland.
Amazingly I got harrassed by at least seven profiles. They were relentless in their comments. People calling me names, saying I was a "know it all", a "horrible person", "dangerous for spreading missinformation" etc...

One profile claimed she was a legal professional and had a law degree....

And most concerning is people with cane corsos actually commented that the breed wasnt restricted.

It is important for pages like this one to "inform" and to silence those that aim to mislead, criticize and bully those who publish facts.

It is vital dog owners know if there breed is restricted or not.

Below is an email from Galway co co VETS. They have confirmed with the department that the language used for ban-dogs does infact mean "any strain or type of mastif" is restricted.
Similarly, any type of Shepard and Akita is also considered restricted.
I am not legal person, but I am educated and trained to analyze language, which is what I did when informing the public Cane Corsos are restricted because they fall under the band-dog specification.

I don't expect those profiles, that in my opinion harrassed and bullyed me over the last 4 days on social media to appologise - but I do hope Facebook users be more cautious when listening to so called "facebook experts".

** Private rehome **
Calling all Spaniel lovers!
This fab bitch is being rehomed.
Unfortunately is not good with children!
Probably will be a fab companion dog for someone who likes to go on walks that has no children or other dogs.
Apparently does not get on with the older dog in the household but that doesnt mean she wont get on with other dogs her age - 4.
Interested people must call Shane at this number: 0834632022
current owners will be doing home checks......

UPDATE: Mona has been rehomed on a nice property with a new sister - a kangal. Apparently they were BFF's when they first met!
Thanks all for sharing!

***Private rehoming***
A special girl who was tied to a fence of a property and dumped!
This 4 year old Cane Corsa is registered with IKC, microchipped vaxed but NOT nuetered.
The lovely couple who took her in have had her 6 months. They say she is:
A sweetheart
Good with dogs
Good with horses
Loves ratting
Currently lives outside in stables
The owners were located via microchip but refused to take her back!
To be considered;
You will need bullbreed or large breed experience. Cane Corsas are extremely powerful. They also have a 721 bite force ( almost 4 times stronger than a pitbul ).
They need a confident owner.
Cane corsa is an Italian Bull Mastif and is a restricted breed.
We will request you nuerter her at one of our vets at your expense. This will insure she is not used to breed.
Message page and tell us a bit about your dog experience.
The dog is currently located in Carlow.
No time wasters please.

This is worth a read for anyone with a dog and anyone who has an opinion on the XL bully ban!

The real story to the XL Bully Ban in Ireland is discussed by Samantha Dooley, Party4Animals.

Important notice to dog owners:
Staffy's and pitbulls will be culled under the xl bully ban if owner does not lie about thier breed and identify it as a xlbully to get exemption.
The ISPCA sent the below image to Heather Humphries claiming it was an xl bully. The ISPCA is supposedly the lead in all animal welfare issues.
The image beside the ISPCA's image is a professional image of a staffy (staffordshire Bull Terrier).
Please share with all staffy owners and groups to make them aware.
Suzi Walsh, the lead K9 behaviourist in Ireland with a degree from Trinity in zoology, a masters degree in K9 behaviour, 100s of training courses under her belt, almost 2 decades of experience, campaigned for changes to Ashton Pound in 2009 and was part of the 2021 campaign for councils to tender the pound services to a better facility, has told me in her expert opinion the images of dogs supplied by the ISPCA to the government are NOT XL Bullys.
asked Humphries in the Dail on October 22nd about the appeals process for dogs that are incorrectly confiscated by dog wardens. Paul is currently running for TD in Dublin South. Cllr Ruth Coppinger, the TD responsible for banning fur farming in Ireland has also raised concerns. Ruth will be running for TD in Dublins North West.
I (Samantha Dooley from Party4Animals Waterford representative) has been in contact directly with Humphries office with these images asking for the errors to be fixed immediately and an appeals process put in place prior to the election and Heather retiring.
Unfortunately there is no movement from Humphries office to acknowledge anyones concerns.
Humphries advised that after Feb 1st dog wardens will be able to go to your home and take your dog and euthanise under the ban. There is no appeals process, as there is in the UK when a dog is confiscated to be a suspected banned breed.

Woman tragically killed by a dog almost a year after the UKs government said banning xl bullys would result in public safety and less fatalities.

The woman had 2 dogs - the police refusing to identify the breed, only stating it was not banned or on dangerous dog list.

K9 behaviour is vital to learn considering dogs are mans best friend. Why are we not being pushed by our governments to learn more about our dogs.

My opinion: The Irish government, specifically politicians with small breeds or no animals want to get rid of any dog capable of biting and are implementing this in stages. Beware if you have a large breed or a collie, a jrt....or a Labrador.

An inquest into 34-year-old Michelle Hempstead's death is opened and then suspended, pending a criminal investigation.
