WoofnHoof

Sounds like a money grab to me.

Lol I see all your naughty dogs and raise you one siberian husky. Check. Mate. :D This popped up on my FB the other day and thought it was pretty typical husky behaviour :laugh:

Poor bugger Yes a chip would certainly help, I know it can be hard to get the little ones done when I got my chi done as an adult he screamed it broke my heart But once it was over he forgot all about it so short term pain for long term peace of mind.

It's great to hear things are looking brighter now :)

I agree, it's annoying when the powers that be just find it easier to ban animals from places rather than actually learn and enforce good hygiene, they will run out of things to ban and still get people getting sick because they don't wash their grubby mitts.

What is even simpler, if someone wants a good riding horse or a kids pony and its at a auction guess what? You do not need to ban auction's you do not need to shut down doggers. All they need to do is outbid the doggers. It is rather common knowledge they have a very set limit and are easily outbid. What makes it a right to demand doggers be put out of business so cheap ponies are available? I fail to understand why anyone is prepared to pay more for a dog than the majority would ever be prepared pay out for a horse or pony with three and more times the lifespan of a dog? I didn't realise this thread had been moved but it's clear my point has been missed anyway so I'll leave you to it.

Thanks Raz he's pretty wild so will be interesting to see how he goes :) He has his own thread in the other pets section in OT with more pics :)

Lol he's super cheeky all right, he's very friendly though :) Here's a pic of him meeting the new rescue pony

Thanks everyone yes his mum was so thrilled to have him home! :) Apparently he looks as though he'd lost a bit of weight and wolfed down his tucker when he got home so he could have been wandering on his own for two days! Such a relief to have him safe and sound. :)

Thanks everyone, I will try and find out how he is, apparently he just showed up at his home, wish he could talk and tell us where he's been the last two days!

DIESEL IS HOME!!! I don't know the details but I'm told he has come home :D Thanks everyone for sharing and all your support!

Thanks everyone, still nothing He's a bit big to just disappear so hopefully he is found soon.

Still no sign of him

Thanks Ams :)

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed he is found soon

Thanks for the suggestions guys I will get onto it :)

Hi Bertie you can like the page and then you should be able to share either the page or any posts on it? Or you can just put the link to the page in your status and share that it should work :) ETA I shared the photo earlier but I'm not sure how far the share goes as it depends on the privacy settings of the person's account so I think that's why the page is better as it's a public page so can be shared to anyone. Hope that's how it goes anyway! :)

Thanks :) At this stage it's not known whether he's gotten out somehow or whether he was stolen, he is entire so it's a possiblity

Thanks Coogie my friend is beside herself

Hi hope this is ok to crosspost Hi everyone, A friend has come home last night to find her beloved rottie Diesel missing from the yard (Oakey QLD), no open gates or holes in the fences. Here's his description and photo I am creating a FB page to share to try and find him: Rottweiler male, bobtail, answers to Diesel, microchipped. Reward offered for any information leading to his return. Please phone 0438915050 Link to facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Please-Help-Find-Diesel-Missing-Rottie/373055926141502

We are not talking about pigs we are talking about horses, and there are physiological differences as well as psychological differences across the range of breeds that impact on their welfare when applied in a generic meat processing scenario. Is there some reason you cannot acknowledge that breeds which have been selected for generations for a certain purpose may not be ideally suited for a different purpose as a result? I own a husky, if you want a dog that comes when called most people will advise not to get this breed, recall is not something that has been considered important to husky breeders and therefore it is not something that they are geared towards or comes easily to them. It's very simple, if people want to use horses for meat then breed towards ones that are suitable for purpose, there are some draft breeds that are purpose bred for meat overseas for example. But don't pretend that sending TBs or kids ponies for meat is okay just because it is inconvenient to consider otherwise.

It's good to hear everything is still on track for you and Roo :)

Actually inez if you've ever transported horses you would know they are more prone to injury than other species as a result of various factors including flight responses, that's why when we transport them we wrap them up in boots etc. There is plenty of evidence to support the position that there are numerous welfare issues which are implicated in the slaughter of horses which do not necessarily apply to other species. Pepe some gallopers deal with these things just fine, some don't and when they don't things go very bad very quickly. The handling that racehorses get prior to being dumped is not universally good, some are well handled and don't have issues but a lot haven't had the best treatment making them even worse to handle, one of the variabilities I mentioned. It makes it very difficult to devise a handling system that accomodates these variabilities. Modern handling systems for cattle, for example, work on a principle that they will all be roughly the same size, and behave in very similar and predictable ways as they do receive minimal handling so it's easier to work out a pressure release system that can be applied generically. But the best system in the world still doesn't have 100% perfect stunning/bolt shot effect so you still get a small percentage of concious animals by the stage of evisceration, and that is in cattle which have a consistent head/brain shape and bone density.

Oh lordy that is dangerous lol! Lovely lovely horses :)

Ok I'm going to need details for these dilutes I've always been a fan of Andys and now you are telling me they come in dilute?!
