SAVE THE BLASKET DONKEYS
The Issue
Party for Animal Welfare call on the Department for Agriculture inspector for Kerry to intervene in the case of two donkeys living on an abandoned island off the county’s coast.
The donkey’s, (a mother and daughter aged 15 and 14) last remaining shelter was an abandoned cottage which collapsed two years ago. Known as the Great Blasket, the island is totally barren without even a tree for shelter. This leaves the inseparable pair at the mercy of the severe winter storms that frequent the Kerry coastline.
They have had neither a veterinarian or farrier inspection for two years, and their only contact with the outside world is between April and September when boat trips bring tourists to the island.
How is this acceptable in the Ireland of 2021?
