The Limerick S.P.C.A. is a registered charity founded in
1882, over 125 years ago, dealing with the prevention of cruelty to all animals
in Limerick City and County and the surrounding counties of Clare & Tipperary.
The Limerick S.P.C.A. works with a small group of dedicated
volunteers and two part-time employees. Our Part-time Inspector and jeep are
constantly on the road dealing with 20-25 cruelty cases every week. Most of our
cruelty investigative involved farm animals – cattle, horses, sheep, goats,
donkeys etc. Even though we are still governed by the 1911 Cruelty to Animals
Act, we have more cruelty convictions in Limerick than any other area of the
country, and this success rate is largely due to the great co-operation we
receive from the Garda and Vets.
The Limerick S.P.C.A. run a very successful spaying and
neutering scheme for members of the public, and actively encourage the spaying
of cats and dogs at a early stage to prevent unwanted litters of puppies and
kittens.
The Limerick S.P.C.A. believes in the education of young
people in responsible pet ownership and the humane treatment of all animals. To
further this aim we give talks regularly in primary and secondary schools
throughout the area.
We are encouraged by the ever increasing demand for these
talks by both Students and Teachers alike.
