I wonder what is behind the change in NSW all puppies at 12 weeks must be life registered? Rules out the desexed discount unless done before 12 weeks locking the pups into all the health problems inherent in early desexing Why are idiots being allowed the Power to make such cruel laws without challenge? It's research has been public knowledge for decades now that early desexing before puberty adds $7,000 in vet bill over the lives of such puppies

My uncle Peter bought his father in law's sheep station at Inverell after really severe drought . After rain finally came he restocked it with very aged ewes, he was a city raised the locals were laughing their heads off when they arrived but Peter said to my parents, even if I only get 3 lambings from them, they are culled for ages stud ewes so the best of the best of their year, all were already in lamb. When the classer went through the fleeces the next year it was Peter laughing. He also bought two dogs with them, an older well trained and younger trained. He said the dogs knew exactly what to do , best buy he made too. Adored his sheep dog's His toughest task was learning to ride his new horse, Blue But he soon learnt

Well remember Ivor Slezachek BVSc telling me that "Mt Druit was the biggest vector of unvaccinated dogs and cat's in the Sydney basin. After a strong Easterly he would be getting up to a dozen a day with parvo being brought to his surgery in Stafford St Penrith." So plenty of unvaccinated dogs in Penrith too....

A puppy stolen in Penrith and discovered trying to cross a six lane highway in Liverpool was identified by her microchip and owner notified to come pick her up

I find the figures laughable considering a friend working for the rspca put more bodies in the incinerator in one day than quoted for a year's fatalies in greyhounds? Where is the fury for that? Even worse he discovered after already putting the majority in that a big one still had a pulse when picked up by the leg. Upon checking those still in the trolley every one over a certain weight all had a pulse. When he reported this, was told "Don't worry the Don't feel a thing, if we gave all the big ones a full dose we would go broke" He lost it and fled...was pretty hysterical by the time he came to see me. told me and said he can't go public as he had signed a document of non disclosure so gagged. I never told anyone at the time. Was too scared. No idea who did tell the papers but although printed and on the news nothing came of it.. Forget the year

How nice At least she is chipped

Politics gone crazy

They have no idea the destruction done by their dogs. I still have nightmares of the sight of my neighbours sheep, pink from her ears to all four feet walking dazed and deep shock, all her skin torn off, torn flank showing her intestines to the morning light, two of her saanan goat paddock mates, equally in shock, flanks torn open internal organs bulging outwards. Doc was an orthopedic surgeon so had all the necessary antibiotics and surgical gear to stitch the savable back together, but nothing could save the poor ewe. Days later the killers came back, three German shepherds, a neighbour saw them coming and quick phone calls had four other neighbours waiting for them, Doc included. None got away that time. Later learnt over 50 sheep and goats had died the previous 3 months. Chip numbers disclosed they were supposedly locally owned, although had travelled over 2 miles to docs for their fun. Their owners, two belonged to one property, the other next door, "never left home" Somehow not one Doc's neighbours, or the owners of all the other dead believed them. .

Considering its been law for over 26 years ALL puppies and kitten's must be microchipped before going to first home.... Yet over half the ones ending up in the pound ARE NOT chipped That "law's" been a fizzer of a joke

Pity, PETA dont want anyone to have a pet and our pollies are doing their best to ensure people cant find one.

Low folate was found to be the common cause, why pregnant women are told to take folate. Preventing Spina bifida, cleft palate etc

As Richard said, considering all that can go wrong in a developing foetus, we should be more amazed how many are born normal

AND ITS GETS WHAT?" our property at Gilgandra is trisected by the Newell Highway and another road. cant even move feed with the tractor from one paddock to another if its on the other side of the road now? been in drought for last 5 years. hubby's ute has transported so many round bales its axle lost the plot and collapsed bringing another load on the way home recently no one with animals has any rights anymore old Australian Truck Driver’s Group. Kings Forman · postrnodSe31h337ui24m61f5237hl59h10307m5c05712hmlm50157falf3 · A VICTORIAN farmer fined $398 for carrying two bales of hay on his tractor forks across a road to feed sheep at the weekend will contest the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator action. Condah farmer and hay contractor Graham Thomson said the NHVR fine was “very heavy handed” and it meant farmers across the state have been acting illegally by transporting hay on tractors across roads to livestock during the drought. “Every farmer is breaking the law as soon as they put a round roll or a square bale on those forks to go across a road. “The fine was worth more than the value of the hay.” Mr Thomson said he owns four separate titles with livestock surrounded by roads in the Condah area, but was told by an NHVR officer he would need to put any hay bales on a truck to transport hay on a road. Fellow farmer Andy Satchell said the fine was “way over the top, totally impractical and completely unnecessary.” “It is just showing how over-regulated we are as a society. “Everyone is doing the same thing to feed their stock,” he said. “It just shows the complete disconnect between city and country too.” He said the fine came as farmers were fighting the emergency fire services levy and on the same day as a mental health day for farmers at the local Condah Hotel. Mr Thomson said he was taking two bales of hay on his tractor about 600 metres down Fleece Road and after checking there were no vehicles in sight, across the Henty Highway, before being stopped with flashing lights and a siren by an NHVR officer. The farmer was told he was not allowed to cart anything on a front-end loader on a public road, and that it was an expensive fine but he would be fined for having bales on the front of the tractor “not restrained.” “I’m meant to have a load binder over them. “I’ve been farming for about 50 years and I didn’t know that,” he said. “I didn’t say anything, but one minute he says I can’t carry anything on the road and then he books me for carrying something on it that’s not restrained. “So that didn’t make sense to me.” The offence recorded was ‘Driver of a heavy vehicle that does not comply with the loading requirements – MINOR Risk Breach. “It was very heavy handed,” Mr Thomson said. Mr Thomson is a life member of the Australian Fodder Industry Association and has about 400 phone messages from people across Australia after Mr Satchell made his Facebook post. “I’ve got about 300 people want to go (to court) and back me up – it’s being contested.” The post had been shared 589 times by 2.30pm today, had about 380,000 views and generated more than 130 comments, mostly sympathetic and urging him to contest the fine. Polite commentators branded the fine as “ridiculous”, while others branded it a joke and “absolute bullshit.” AFIA president Louis Kelly said was aware hay loads on a truck or ute it would need to be secured but he had not heard of farmers being fined for transporting hay on tractors. “It’s a stupid rule, I’m not in favour of it at all – I’ve never heard of it before.” “I’ve seen so many tractors on the road with hay on them, does that constitute a truck or a ute?” Mr Kelly said he had been working with the NHVR on standardising road rules. “What are we going to do here, stifle agriculture altogether? “How is this going to work?” he asked. “As far as I am concerned, Thommo’s in the right to feed his animals, but if someone challenges him on how he ties his load down on a tractor which is registered as an agricultural machine, I just think that’s a bit different.” Sheep Central was told the NHVR regulates all heavy vehicles with a gross vehicle mass or aggregate trailer mass of more than 4.5 tonnes, including livestock and agricultural vehicles. The Schedule of HVNL Penalties, Infringement Penalties and Demerit Points 2024/25 (PDF, 403KB) provides a summary of the penalties and infringements outlined in the HVNL. This includes breaches of mass, dimension or loading requirement, where a minor risk breach carries a minimum fine of $398 fine and a more substantial or severe breach may see a maximum penalty of $13,310. The NHVR said agricultural vehicles, such as tractors, are permitted on the roads if the driver and vehicle comply with all jurisdictional and Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) requirements, such as holding the correct registration and access permit, as well as safe restraint of the load.

From all sides isnt it. not just our dogs being targeted so are we. good luck folks O and how many times have you had to do a click the whatever to prove your not a robot? to a computer program who wont give u access until you do? Shades of Terminator future? O and dont be fooled, Barnabay Joyce and David Littleproud drafted the legislation that created the Water Trading Scheme, whereby the irrigation farmer can no longer buy their water from the government, they have to buy it from water traders and now twice the price once cost. Who profits? the Water Traders and who are they? Majority Chinese investors and the families of Barnabv Joyce and David Littleproud. Thanks to implementing it during the worst drought in memory at the time it send thousands of dairy farmers already being strangled by the $1 a litre milk off the edge to bankruptcy and being snapped up by corporations, ending generations of family farms. Liberal is wings of the same bird as Labor. Littleproud was computer savy enough to create the offshore water trading company himself and then hand over to the family so could not be charged with profiting from his legislation. No idea who created Barnabys, probably advised by Littleproud how too though. Traitors to the people of Australia, sure are. most of the farms sold are now overseas owned, increased china's holdings to 5%.
