Operation Of the Society

The main function of the Society is as the name suggests to prevent cruelty throughout the County of Cork. An inspector is employed by the Society to investigate all complaints of cruelty however small. As our powers are limited we can contact the Gardai whenever we think a case warrants a prosecution. The Gardai can then decide to prosecute and we depend on the Judge to deliver a stiff sentence.

Another important aspect of the Societies work is Educating People about Animal Welfare.
Our plan for the new millenium.

Quite a large amount of the Societies work is dealing with the Stray Dogs and Stray Cats situation.
