DANES R US Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 On the 19th of March a planning permit application was lodged with the Moorabool Shire(which is 30 mins from Ballarat, Vic) for a porposed puppy farm which is looking at having 85 bitches and 15 stud dogs and want to breed 'designer dogs' They are wanting to have Cavalier king charles spaniels, cocker spaniels, toy poodles, beagles and westies i think from memory... I have already written a letter to the local Mayor Pat Toohey which i will send tomorrow. I think it is absolutley disgusting and a petition has already been started in the local area so fingers crossed it doesn't go ahead. People have only just heard about it this week and have only until the 5th of April to lodge any objections, which doesn't give people much time due to the Easter public holidays!! A puppy farm at Beremboke was only just recently shut down a few months ago and already another scumbag is trying to take over and start a new one. As someone who does dog rescue, i can only wonder who will be picking up the unwanted dogs when they are no longer profitable to the puppy farm?? As if rescue needs anymore work and the pounds around the area like everywhere else already contain too many animals and not enough potential homes, without this type of mass production. Not sure if people phoning the council offices or emailing about the issue of puppy farms would help in anyway, but contact details for the Moorabool Shire are below if anyone wants to??? You can email Council via this email address: [email protected] Telephone: (03) 5366 7100 Facsimile: (03) 5368 1757 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
