Protestors hit out at a lack of animal welfare legislation in a peaceful protest this afternoon outside the Dail.
The demonstration took place at 2pm on Kildare Street. Several animal rights groups, including My Lovely Horse Rescue and Missing Stolen Animals Ireland, had been invited to meet with TDs and Senators to discuss animal welfare earlier today.
The protest occurred immediately after talks had concluded and was attended by many animal rights groups, including Dogs Aid. People who had experienced pet theft also discussed their frustrations as the worrying trend continues.
