A few nice animal abuse images I found:

Smithfield Plaza, but known locally as Smithfield Square or Smithfield Market.

Dublin City Council has made a number of attempts to upgrade this area but usually after any work has been completed the area rapidly declines because of serious anti-social behaviour.
The area is known for the historical Horse market which is held on every first Sunday of the month.
However, the city council is continuing with its efforts of trying to move the centuries-old horse market out of the area, with many new residents to the area, including those from the facing Smithfield Market apartments, especially uncomfortable with its atmosphere, noise, perceptions of animal abuse and neglect, and occasional bouts of violence amongst a minority of animal traders, although a discreet police (Garda) presence helps to maintain order. Although the Smithfield Horse Fair continues to draw heavy and sustained criticism from a wide range of sources, including An Garda Siochana, and the Dublin Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (DSPCA), legal difficulties in closing down and/or moving away the market, coupled with its centuries-old heritage, have left the city council and the horse fair defenders locked in an ongoing battle without any clear resolution ahead.
