Die Kildare Animal Foundation hat diese zutiefst störende Geschichte geteilt: Ein schwer vernachlässigter, blinder, diabetischer Hund, den sie gerettet haben, wurde gewaltsam aus ihrer Obhut entnommen und an die Person zurückgegeben, die ihr erlaubte, zu leiden.
Dieser arme Hund, ungefähr 7 Jahre alt, wurde von unbehandelten Diabetes blind und gefährlich untergewichtig. Nach Erhalt eines Anrufs von einem besorgten Mitglied der Öffentlichkeit kontaktierten Freiwillige der Stiftung die örtliche Garda -Station, um die Erlaubnis zum Zugang zu dem Grundstück zu erhalten. Sie erhielten die Startart, retteten den Hund und erhielten ihre sofortige tierärztliche Versorgung – Insulin, eine besondere Ernährung und Überwachung.
Trotz ihres klaren Zustands forderte der Besitzer ihren Rücken und der Gardai stand auf der Seite des Besitzers. Unglaublich. Zwei Beamte kamen an und versuchten, den Hund zu ergreifen. Als die Stiftung sich weigerte, wurden sie mit rechtlichen Schritten bedroht. Später kehrten drei Beamte mit einem Haftbefehl zurück, und den Mitarbeitern wurde mitgeteilt, dass sie verhaftet würden, wenn sie nicht eingehalten werden. Sie hatten keine andere Wahl, als sie zu übergeben.
Wie kann das überhaupt passieren? Dies ist ein Hund, der bis zum fast Tod vernachlässigt wurde, und dennoch werden diejenigen, die sie gerettet haben, wie Kriminelle behandelt. Der Gardai nannte sie „Hundendiebe“ und bestand darauf, dass sie kein Recht hatten, sie zu behalten. Der gleiche Tierarzt, der ihr erlaubt hat, sich zu verschlechtern, soll sie nun wöchentlich überwachen? Es ist völlig schändlich.
Die Stiftung, die in vielen Fällen neben Gardai zusammengearbeitet hat, sagen, sie seien fassungslos und mit gebrochenem Herzen. Sie standen am Sonntagabend drei Stunden lang vor der Garda Station und waren verzweifelt mit jemandem zu sprechen. Niemand öffnete die Tür.
Der Gardai sollte sich schämen. Dies war eine Chance, ein stimmloses Tier zu schützen, und sie scheiterten.
Das ist nicht nur falsch, es ist grausam.

Wtf. That terrible.
what can be done to help? my first thought reaction would be to phone up the garda station and ask why they are acting like this but i feel like that probably wouldn’t be productive to the situation. contacting local TD’s? maybe I’m not thinking about this right but is there something better we could do?
Animal abuse in Ireland just isn’t taken seriously at all unfortunately. It’s very upsetting
The guards seem to be able to pick and choose what they actually enforce and this is what they choose? But ignore rampant drink driving all over the country.
Something similar happened in my sister’s local village, but was a cat…after the cat was returned to the owner, it ended up „missing“ within a few weeks…
I feel guilty when I am 30 minutes late home from work for my 2 dogs, we have a family member who visits for 2 hours during the work day, so they are on their own for about 4 hours of the day, in blocks of 2 hours…
Jesus Christ, that’s awful.
The owner ought to be named and shamed. They’re not suddenly going to treat the dog like royalty.
The Gardai are Gangsters
Foundation should have made a criminal complaint against the owner before, during and after seeking to intervene – section 12 Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013 as amended
The garda in question should be named and shamed here. Newspapers should be writing about the enablement of animal abuse.
Would it be worth reporting it to the ISPCA who have a mandate to prevent animal cruelty and inspectors who can investigate outside of the Gardai?
This is the kind of shit that whips me in totally bad type of anger. Mad sadistic animal abuser guards, need to be reported somewhere.
I’ll cry, how is this still possible? I’m not from Kildare so which TD do I need to email to? Name and shame all the people involved in animal cruelty.
Jesus, the poor pup is literally skin and bones. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from both the guards and the owner.
But at least the guards protect this country from some lad with a gram of weed in his pocket, right?
We need to send this to RTE, newspapers get it out into the public. This is shameful and heartbreaking.
This is literally watching someone murder an animal.
Guaranteed the abuser is probably a friend or relative of some Garda and that’s how they got it back.
What I am surprised by is how did Garda get involved? A brick through your window is a ‚civil matter‘. So how is this not a civil matter – neglected dog actually being looked after by someone.
Animal foundation now knows that dogs like this should mysteriously „escape“ before the gards show back up with the warrent.
„Sorry gard, there was a hole in the fence and the dog ran off“
Edit missed word
holy dear lord
Evil bastards. Gardai…shame, those sub humans should have been prosecuted,but o guess there’s more justice in hunting expired car tax and insurance, right?
That’s so painful looking the poor dog. I don’t understand I thought animals who were neglected could be seized. Would the rescue be able to go to DSPCA for backing to get help retaking the dog to save it’s life?
Why didn’t Garda seize the animal? Why did they back the owner?
What a sick joke. There should be laws protecting animals in cases of neglect and an animal abuser register. Disgraceful.
A recent update on the Facebook page shows that the Gardai are engaging with them to get the fog returned to the shelter. Hopefully he is back getting the care he needs asap.
I still emailed the commissioner about it anyway at [commissioner@garda.ie](mailto:commissioner@garda.ie).

Christ, the poor dog.
The classic irish attitude of „ah sure she’ll be fine“
It doesn’t make sense that the owner would want her back when they don’t even take care of her? Why would they not just let her go since they can’t/ won’t provider the care she needs?
Gardai need to be filmed saying that they think a dog in that condition is better off with the people who put it in that condition. Then that video needs to be posted all over social media. Fuck the people who abused this dog and fuck the Gardai that are supporting this.
The Garda are hands down one of the most scummy police forces in Western Europe. Closely followed by the PSNI
Guards are useless. Glad they’re struggling to get new recruits

Email now sent to an Garda press office with liveline and Kildare animal foundation copied in (rest of email im comments if anyone wishes to use any of the information mentioned in drafting their own email)
owner should be starved
Dogs are considered property under the law. You can’t just trespass and take someone’s property. From the sounds of it, she was already under the care of a vet too.
Something seriously needs to be done about our lazy, useless, fraudulent, cowardly police force.
Jesus christ this is absolutely horrendous. That is beyond emaciated, that’s days from death. I know Ireland has a bad reputation for non-existent animal rights but this is just beyond disgusting. Where can we help kick up a fuss about this OP? I hope every single one of those Gardai and this dog’s abusers experience even a week of what she went through the poor pup.
