ISPCA issues Manifesto for Animals

The Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA), the leading animal welfare organisation in Ireland, has issued a Manifesto for Animals ahead of the General Election, urging the public to make their voices count for animal welfare. The manifesto outlines key actions needed to advance animal welfare in Ireland.

With the election fast approaching taking place on Friday 29th November 2024, the ISPCA is urging voters to select the candidates who will commit to better protection for animals in Ireland. As part of its campaign, the ISPCA has released a Manifesto for Animals, asking the public to vote for the candidate they believe will stand up for animals in the next Government.

The ISPCA is calling on the public to visit https://ispca.ie/ge2024/ to have their say on what they believe the Government could and should be doing better. If you agree more needs to be done about animal welfare, the ISPCA is calling for animal lovers everywhere to complete the survey and share the manifesto to make sure that the welfare of animals in Ireland is of importance to all members of the next Government.

ISPCA Chairperson, Dr Pete Wedderburn said:

“As candidates come to your door, ask them where they stand on animal welfare. Our Manifesto for Animals calls for urgent changes, from ending live exports to enforcing stronger penalties for animal offenders. Every single voice counts and by voting with animals in mind, we can push for policies that create real change in Ireland.”
