I just joined the forum yesterday and have been an avid reader of this discussion. I was one of the many naive but well-intentioned people who shared all PR's FB photos and donated money to them. That was until I did a bit of my own research and spoke to Blacktown Pound who don't have a weekly "kill list" of healthy dogs. I also spoke to Hawkesbury, to Kellie, who totally endorsed PR so go figure that. I requested an explanation from Poundrounds re the supposed "kill list" from Blacktown. That was days ago and I have had no response. Yesterday on FB I saw a friend request from Melanie Norman! I don't think so.
Deeply disillusioned, I have ceased my donations (what a waste of money that could have been better spent on real dog rescue or care) and have unfriended PR but I am still determined to get involved in the legitimate rescue process. Thanks to this forum for such an open and frank discussion of the issues.
