THE Irish Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) is urging the public to make a life-saving donation this Christmas and New Year to help them continue rescuing the most vulnerable animals in Ireland.

Reports of animal cruelty is at an all-time high, with calls made to the ISPCA National Animal Cruelty Helpline (1890 515 515) already exceeding last year’s figure of 16,211 calls for help.
