Not sure if you’re aware of a cat Felix, that was taken in Cork city from outside someone’s home by some boys in an E-scooter and found 6 days later with a broken jaw and other injuries and completely emaciated.
The cat was taken to the emergency vets but the injuries he had were too severe and he was out to sleep.
Felix was a family cat loved by the parents as well as the children and that had to experience seeing cruelty and then feel the pain of loss of their family member.
If you search for Felix the cat Cork city you’ll be able to hear the heartbreaking interview the mammy gave.
It seems this is t an isolated case either and it needs to be stopped.
RIP Felix

I can’t express enough my deep distress and overwhelming growing concern over a troubling trend we are witnessing in our communities, a rise in thoughtless and deliberate cruelty towards animals by children and young people.
All too often, innocent creatures are subjected to teasing, chasing, throwing stones, physical harassment and torture. What some treat as a "game" or a moment of amusement causes immense physical pain and deep psychological trauma to living beings that cannot speak or defend themselves.
Animals feel fear, hunger, and pain just as we do. When children grow up viewing cruelty as entertainment, it normalises violence and desensitises them to suffering. Kindness toward animals is a reflection of a civilised society, yet we are failing to instill these basic values in the younger generation.
This issue requires urgent collective action. Parents must take responsibility for monitoring and guiding their children's behavior, and schools need to incorporate empathy-building and humane education into their daily routines. Furthermore, local authorities and community associations must step up enforcement against animal abuse and promote awareness.
I urge you all to speak up and do something please because that much-needed conversation in our community before indifference turns into permanent harm has already happened.

Halloumi wants to show off her skills in multitasking, here she’s doing her yoga and having a snooze but she also wants me to say a massive thank you to everyone who is supporting us via our last appeal and those who have been supporting us regularly since almost the beginning like Gearoid who has been sponsoring Billy for over 4 years.
We appreciate each and every one of you so very much ❤️

Dear friends

💔 I really don’t know how we’re going to do this…

I honestly hate having to write posts like this, but I’m at the point where I have to be completely honest about where we are.

Things at Beara are really, really difficult financially at the moment. Our feed account at the agri store is now five times over our credit limit, and it’s possible that our credit could be cut off until a large chunk of the bill is paid off.

As you know the wonderful Sue very kindly organised a fundraiser for us through PayPal Giving, and we are so incredibly grateful. ❤️ Every cent raised will make a huge difference.

The problem is that the money can take up to six weeks to be released to us. By the time we receive it, we’ll have had another six weeks of weekly feed bills to pay, so unfortunately the amount we owe will continue to grow in the meantime.

We simply can’t stop buying feed. The animals still need to eat every single day.

And just when I thought I couldn’t possibly have any more on my plate, for the second time this year I have four tiny three-week-old puppies in my care as well. They are completely dependent on me, along with all the other animals here.

I’m exhausted, I’m stressed and, if I’m completely honest, I’m scared.

We have 15 pigs, 33 goats, 7 sheep, 2 donkeys, 8 geese, 3 ducks, 4 hens, 24 cats who all depend on us. There is no option to just cut back on their food until things improve. ❤️

So I’m asking, if anyone is able to help us with our immediate feed costs, even €5 or €10 would genuinely help us get through another week.

If you can’t donate, please don’t feel bad. Sharing this post is just as valuable and may reach someone who can help.

We don’t need anything fancy. We just need to keep food going into bowls and troughs until we can get ourselves back on our feet.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated, shared, supported and checked in on us. We honestly couldn’t keep going without you. ❤️

Please help us keep the feed coming. 🙏🏻🐷🐐🐑🐴🐶❤️

**With immediate effect we desperately need puppy pads, royal canin puppy milk powder, when they’re old enough flea treatments.
When ready the pups will be going to a dog rescue to find their forever homes so will not be rehomed from here**

Thank you all in advance 🙏🏼
