Only two complaints made to animal welfare hotline about treatment of King Puck
Only two complaints have been received by the animal welfare hotline in relation to the treatment of 'King Puck' - the wild mountain goat at this year's Puck Fair in Kerry. This compares to a whopping 175 calls made to the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) in relation to the goat in 2023. Those complaints were from animal rights campaigners and members of the public who voiced concerns about the potential stress and discomfort for the goat in a cage on a high platform, given the high temperatures during the three-day festival. Following those complaints, this led to a review of the goat's welfare by Department officials. And in response to those concerns, the organisers of Puck Fair significantly reduced the amount of time the goat spent on the raised stand. This marked a significant change from the tradition of King Puck remaining on his stand above the town for the three days of the festival. They also implemented measures such as veterinary inspections before, during and after the goat's time on the stand. The Puck Fair, which took place this year on Sunday, August 10 to Tuesday, August 12, is a three-day festival centred around the coronation of a wild goat as "King Puck". In a statement to the Irish Mirror on Wednesday, the Department of Agriculture Food and the Marine (DAFM) stated: "The Department received two complaints on Wednesday to the animal welfare hotline in connection with the puck fair which was held from 10th to 12th August. No complaints were received by the regional veterinary office. "The organisers of the Fair communicated a plan to the Department regarding the treatment of the goat, including veterinary inspection of the animal and contingencies in case of hot weather. "An independent Veterinary Practitioner monitored the goat before, during and after being put up in the stand. "During the opening and closing ceremonies, the goat was raised for no more than two hours and subsequently removed and returned to a farm by experienced Puck Fair Handlers. "He was returned to his accommodation in a ventilated and bedded livestock trailer. "Protecting animal welfare is a priority for the Department. "The regulations and requirements for animal welfare are set out in the 2013 Animal Health and Welfare Act. "The Department operates an animal welfare complaints hotline (01 607 2379); complaints are followed up by Department veterinary officers and/or other authorised officers." Around 100,000 people descended on Killorglin for the three-day festival this year. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.

The GoFundMe organiser said that any money raised "would help alleviate some of the financial strain, allowing the family to focus on healing and supporting these young children during this incredibly difficult time."
