Dear Huntia,
I too read this article in the local paper today with horror (Prime7 also aired the story on the 6 PM news, 4/7/12).
The 6 PM news went into detail about this disgusting act of animal cruelty carried out by Gloucester Council at the Gloucester landfill. They showed the photos which were so distressing.
Dogs, like all living beings, feel fear and pain, and shooting them in the way Gloucester Council did is horrific and savage.
No matter what the so-called "background circumstances", this kind of sickening cruelty is unacceptable.
How can the Council get away with it?
Surely it's illegal for local councils in Australia to shoot surrendered dogs (in front of each other). Don't they have to use a vet?
