Rosetta Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I reckon straight to ACA!! So do I - if they can do stories of people dying through medical negligence etc then they could do this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizT Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Having been a Groomer for many years (now retired!) I still have a keen interest in the industry. I was shocked today to find while Googling, an image taken within an Australian Dog Grooming School, with a dog in the background unsupervised on a table with his neck in a noose. If this is considered "ok" in a Grooming School, what hope do new graduates have of developing safe practices???? It's shameful. While I agree with you if there is still someone in the room then technically the dog isn't unattended and should a mishap occur (despite it being in a position where it should NOT have) the dogs life is not in jepardy if a quick release is possible...HOWEVER to leave a dog UNATTENDED and to come back to it having hung is totally unforgiveable!

Cazstaff Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Both ACA and Today Tonight looked at Buddy's story and didnt want to cover it . I contacted the Penrith Press, they called me back for more details but I never heard from them again Nothing has happenned with the media,lots of people tried to help but nothing ever eventuated. I have written a short newspaper story as a English assignment and might even just send that out and see what happens. I think I'll name the Salon publically now, I'll put it in the title of this post. I was only waiting as the TV said IF they took it they would want to be able to 'break' the story, be first.

Gretel Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Glad you have named them. I am sorry that no one seems to want to get on board about publicising it How about The Star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I wonder if you can write your review here. If you do try to make it factual but without emotion, as if you were writing a report. http://www.womo.com.au/reviews/Splish-Splash-Dog-and-Cat-Grooming-Penrith/#.UUENyTeDmSo Edited March 13, 2013 by Kirislin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loving my Oldies Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 How disappointing and very sad for you, Caz, that the media has given you the brush off. Perhaps you can publish your "review" on the salon's page as Kirislin has suggested?? It would pretty soon be taken down, but a few people might get to read it and be warned. Something else I just thought of: have you been in touch with Urban Animal? I doubt they'd publish the story, but they might do a story without naming names and give a contact for anyone wanting to know the name of the salon. If you put your report up here, we could all put it on our FB pages. It would spread like wildfire. I am sure everyone here wishes they could make your pain go away.

cnsunshine Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Hi Caz, I've just read the entire thread and I'm really sorry for your loss. Its such a horrible experience and I completely support your decision to make everything public. Shame on them. No dog should ever go through that. Buddy was such a stunning boy, RIP.

Katdogs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks DD I saw your post on FB and have shared it now too. Hugs Caz. I think the Urban Animal idea is a good one - even if it's just 'how to identify a good groomer'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Urban Animal idea is a good one - even if it's just 'how to identify a good groomer'. That's good, Sammy's Mum, because most of my FB people are DOL people and have probably already shared this. You'll have a much broader scope for dissemination.

Katdogs Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) I've already spoken to close family in the area to warn them anyway, but the more people who are aware the better. Edited March 14, 2013 by Katdogs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest donatella Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Caz you should start up a facebook page as a dedication to Buddy and as a warning about this salon so that people can like and share it. Word will spread quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
