In a post that has been shared on social media, it was reported that Irie has received veterinary care, including a sedative, and has been groomed to remove the paint. She will be taking activated charcoal for the next few days to eliminate any toxins from her system. Currently, she is resting but remains visibly shaken by the ordeal.
An appeal has been made to the community for any information that could help identify the person/s responsible for this.
