Ireland's lost and found Animals

28/11/2025

Beheaded 8 year old stag found in a Fingal County Council park.
The stag which was the leader of the herd, was cut in half and decapitated.
It is believed that this was a trophy - possibly as a Christmas gift, or maybe to sell.
It is not illegal in Ireland to have stags, or any other animal displayed on your wall...

If the person is found, charged and convicted for this truly barbaric act, they would get around a €300 fine! In 2007 a hunter killed a red deer out of hunting season and got same fine.

This is completely unacceptable. Breaking and entering into a public park is also a minor offense, as is leaving a wildlife co**se. So even if the book was thrown at the people that did this, they still get off fairly lightly in relation to the crime they did.

How do we protect our wildlife from this happening again?

Apparently Queens uni, study claims dogs can smell if youre stressed, sad or active to 93% accuracy. The dog then copies your behaviour - like a sponge.
Which means; when you say a dog looks sad, the owner of the dog might be. When you see a stressed dog, that lashes out at your dog, chances are owner is stressed.

It makes me wonder about the DSPCA killing a husky after a year of failed training by a so called k9 expert! After one year they claimed dog became confident and aggressive..... It does sound like some staff ive encounted from the spcas in general..... just saying....

This nonsense needs to STOP!
A Dublin man, Taffe got a lifetime ban for mistreating a husky.
The DSPCA to the rescue...?
Not so fast.....
They had the husky, Simba for 1 year. It was only 18 months old. Their top "behaviour consultant", Tanya clark, who has a level 5 animal behaviour qualification and a 1 year diploma failed to retrain the husky - " it became more aggressive as it got more confident " so they killed it, age 2.5 years old.

The SPCAs are not qualified to make such a call. They are not known to have formal qualifications ( degree or higher) and their opinion on many things in Irish animal welfare is highly contentious.

Noone should ever be called a consultant unless they have a masters degree or higher. The work that goes into achieving this qualification is substantial in theory and practice..
Noone or no SPCA should be killing a dog based on there view alone in regards to behaviour. They should be spending some of the money they raised for Simba to get an actual k9 experts opinion.

The DSPCAs view that Simba exhibited "learned helplessness", then went onto say she became aggressive as she got more confident are 2 very different conditions. I am not confident hey diagnosed Simba correctly based on these remarks in the court.

Maybe im wrong? Maybe Tanya has a degree and masters in animal behaviour she keeps secret and off her profiles? Maybe she did reach out to someone like Suzy Walsh to get a second opinion? Feel free to prove this opinion wrong. Being wrong would help me sleep better in this regard!

WONDER where Taffe got husky from? Anyone know who fcked up by giving/selling him a young husky? Could it have been from an SPCA?

Thanks for reading....

Do you love taking your pooch out?🐕
Brass Fox Wicklow is the place to go!
The cafe, Alfies, connected to it has a great menu for families and dogs! A doggie vending machine has tasty Irish made doggie treats ( €5 ). The area is completely doggie friendly.
The bonus of this place is its right on the water. With plenty of parking. You can take your pooch for a walk along the pier - 100 meters to find a dog park with agility components...
Let your pooch run free in the park whilst you take in the awesome views.😍
Food is pricy, but is of high standard. Similarly is the staff polite and attentitive. Alcohol onsite, good coffee.

PS - Alfie, the cafe is named after a British bulldog. I hear he is looking for british bulldog rough and tumble play mates. Those EB owners know what i mean... let them know ahead of going there with your EB, so Alfie can be available to say hello.🐮

There is also an outside seating for smokers and not so friendly dogs...😉

Definietly worth a trip out to Wicklow where your pooch is very welcome!

A defenceless dog had fire works put into its mouth, which blew part of its face off causing death. Its unknown how long the dog was in agonising pain before dying. Apparently this was done for the "craic".

At this stage its unknown who done this - but if I had to guess I would say teenagers in Dunboyne area.

Please keep animals inside this time of year - and keep your pets inside also!

All our politicians, government and opposition have let pet owners down! Every year the same bu****it. Every year peoples pets are terrified, every year nothing done by government and no push by opposition parties.

We need new politicians across the board - Ive come to the belief that Ireland will never change the animal welfare situation unless there is a completely new politicians in the Dail, new parties, more independents. A clean slate.
