Steve Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Wonder if they are going to give them the opportunity for an independent assessment and second opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Have added a link to ch ten now http://ten.com.au/ten-news.htm O.K I watched it twice and I still think they all look well fed and in pretty good nick. The yards looked big enough and I cant see what it is they have pinged them for. There was nothing there that tells me the reasons they had for taking them out.

Agility Dogs Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I was over at Fairfield last night and one of the trainers had been working with some of the dogs during the day. She mentioned that the ones she had seen were in reasonable condition. The ones I saw come in later in the night were also in pretty good shape. Apparently it was a puppy farm though..........

~Anne~ Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Truthfully, I donlt think anyone can adequately judge anything from a media clip. The dogs did appear to look well fed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Well here's hoping in the spirit of justice that they have an independent person who is quailified to give an educated opinion and that they have the opportunity to seek second opinions. But with the meter running now on boarding and vet bills not to mention legals I guess it's all over for them anyway whether they deserve it or not. But of course they deserve it right? They were puppy farmers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusky Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 they were puppy farmers I guess but the dogs we saw on the clip looked fine, some were a bit fat but the close up dogs even appeared well groomed. We need to see more of this story to see what the problem was for the RSPCA to barge in. You don't suppose ot was anything to do with something else and the RSPCA wanted a well timed story ? nah..slap yourself Rusky.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Anne~ Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) It could be them going by this; AUTHORITIES are removing more than 200 dogs from a breeder's property in one of Queensland's biggest animal welfare operations. Biosecurity Queensland deputy chief veterinarian Dr Rick Symons said the dogs were living in cramped, filthy and substandard conditions on the property at South Burnett, north-west of Brisbane. Several dead dogs have been found at the property near Wondai, some pregnant. Dr Symons said the owners, who are dog breeders, had failed to improve the dogs' accommodation, which had "faeces all over the place", despite contact with authorities in the past six months. He said the RSPCA had seized around 230 dogs, mostly poodle crosses, cavalier King Charles spaniels, samoyeds and beagles. "It's not a usual (number of dogs) for breeders to have, but it does occur," Dr Symons said. "It highlights the problem of taking care of lots of animals. The resources required to clean up, take them for walks, is huge." No charges have been laid to date but the maximum fine for animal cruelty is $30,000 or one year in jail. Dr Symons said Biosecurity Queensland would pay for the upkeep of the animals up until any court proceedings were finalised. "Each animal is being identified and checked (by vets)," he said. "It costs about $12 a day to keep a dog, and you can imagine 200-odd dogs every day is quite a significant impost on Biosecurity Queensland." He said if the animals were forfeited to the state through the courts the RSPCA would try to find them new homes. The breeders are believed to have sold dogs through the internet or local arrangements. It looks like it is a defnite puppy farm.

Agility Dogs Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 It looks like it is a defnite puppy farm. Given that 30 odd pregnant dogs arrived at the shelter yesterday I'm pretty sure it is a good bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
