Target: Liam Conneally, Chief Executive, Galway County Council, Galway, Ireland
Goal: Identify and prosecute any responsible parties for dumping two emaciated puppies crawling with maggots, and impose lifetime animal-ownership bans plus full restitution.
Two tiny puppies, roughly five to six weeks old, were abandoned in a field and described as emaciated, dehydrated, and cold. Rescuers observed fly eggs matted in their fur, with maggots already burrowing under skin, inside mouths, and in back passages. A kind passerby brought the pups to Galway SPCA, where an emergency dash to a vet began. As stated by rescuers, another 24 hours could have meant death while larvae continued eating live flesh.
The incident follows a spate of sick litters reaching local shelters in recent weeks. Volunteers described late-night triage, smoke-blue exhaustion, and the grim task of watching vets remove live maggots from fragile bodies. Such details point to deliberate abandonment or reckless neglect that left neonate animals without food, warmth, or treatment.
Clear accountability deters copycats and protects vulnerable animals. Authorities should pursue every charge supported by evidence under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013, counted per victim, and seek court-ordered bans on ownership or control of animals for any responsible parties. Restitution should cover veterinary bills and shelter costs. Public reporting of outcomes, plus targeted enforcement against puppy dumping hot spots, can reinforce deterrence and support already strained rescues. This petition calls for swift investigation, prosecution, and penalties that match the cruelty.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Chief Executive Conneally,
We are deeply concerned by reports that two very young puppies were dumped in a field while emaciated, dehydrated, and infested with fly eggs and maggots. Rescuers state larvae had already invaded soft tissue, including mouths and back passages, and that a delay of even one day might have proved fatal.
We respectfully urge Galway County Council’s Veterinary Services to coordinate with An Garda Síochána and the ISPCA to identify those responsible, secure all relevant evidence (including field images and veterinary findings), and pursue every applicable charge under the Animal Health and Welfare Act 2013. We further ask that prosecutors seek maximum lawful penalties, lifetime bans on owning or keeping animals, and restitution that repays veterinary and shelter costs.
To prevent recurrence, please publish enforcement outcomes and establish targeted surveillance and outreach at known dumping sites, alongside a public reporting channel with rapid response. Visible, proportionate action will protect animals, support rescuers, and signal that abandonment and extreme neglect carry serious consequences.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

These people need to be found prosecuted put under the jail where Megan’s can get all over them and eat their flesh and they could die from starvation and no water. I have never heard of such disgusting things in my life people but just don’t give a damn, but they’re probably fine themselves. Please find these horrible people and put them under the jail.
THE INDIVIDUALS OR INDIVIDUAL THAT HAVE DUMPED THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL INNOCENT WEE PUPS SHOULD BE ‘ SHOT’ AND JAILED PLUS HAVE A SERIOUS FULL PSYCHIATRIC ASSESSMENT..AND NEVER TO BE AROUND ANIMALS ‘ EVER AGAIN !!!
I wish we could do to humans what they do to animals.
the scum of the earth that did this will have to deal with God’s wrath on them. you are not human and do not deserve to live since you are pure evil!
Whoever did this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, given psychiatric help, and never allowed near an animal ever again!!!!!!!!!!!
The exact same fate should befall all involved in such a heinous cruel act on two innocent puppies.
It is imperative that everything is done to find ALL individuals guilty and bring them to justice so that it sends a clear message that animal suffering will never be tolerated!!!!!
These sick- brained’ waste of spaces (if found) would just get a light telling off from a useless old tosser of a Judge.
The only ‘clear’ message here would be if one or more of these arrogant bastards ended up very DEAD!!!

Agree all comments catch them a do the same to them . Justice now these fuckers don’t deserve to live.
Why cant they give them to someone who does or give to shelter no excuse for dumping, or cruelty . Laws need to change to buy sell breed animals. Also yearly checks. It’s bullshit.
Unfortunately animal torture and murder will never stop as the totally USELESS Judicial system and even more useless idiot Judges think that animals are immune to any sort of pain or feeling. And— they are ‘scared’ of the ‘perps’ in case of any recriminations afterwards! They don’t want their houses or cars torched so give pissant sentences. These are the buggers would need to be dealt with and showed that torture DOES fucking well hurt!! But—— animal torture ‘could’ be stopped to a good degree by good old STREET JUSTICE!! It is not always easy to do as the perps have to be located first with planning and care for a quick exit afterwards! Beaten shitless or terminated if the gang (or shall I say lynch mob’) have the guts and loathing towards the animal torturing bastard is seriously the ONLY WAY that this torture and murder will be made to stop. I know we can all leave our thoughts and feelings here but action is needed for the liberation of animals worldwide. These are not humans but pathetic diseased brained motherfucks who are no use to the world at all. ‘Eye for eye’ treatment is needed here for these deranged brained scum. Then and only then would the world start to see a decline in animal torture and murder. It IS the only way this shit can be stopped!!

Unfortunately Ireland is a pretty backwards country, it has a lot of folk who are not as civilised as cave dwellers, yet they act like they are normal.Extreme animal cruelty is a favourite pastime there, the bloodlust in these folk is a sickness passed through the generations. Do not hold out much hope of anything being done about this as most of the cops and judiciary are thick as shit
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Paws Matter
