Thu 11 Nov 2003Discovery of dead dogs in skip launches Garda investigation
Investigations have started in Kilkenny following the discovery of a badly emaciated greyhound and two dead dogs at a public landfill. The two carcasses and the live greyhound, which had to be put down later, were found in a locked skip located on the outskirts of Kilkenny city.
County council workers Mr Martin Parker and Mr Pierce Purcell found the animals yesterday morning. They managed to recover the greyhound and brought it to a shelter at Dunmore. Mr Brian O'Donovan, an engineer, was on hand and ordered the two bodies to be buried immediately for health and environmental reasons. He then contacted the gardaí and the ISPCA.
