The donation was very much appreciated by the staff of the USPCA whose motto is “Promoting the Welfare of all Animals Through Education and Enforcement”.

The ride out left Rathfriland Town Square and, aided by a couple of cars to transport the goods, proceeded to Bessbrook were they got a warm welcome from Philip Burns, the enforcement officer.
