Are You Serious Jo Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Yes, but would they. I guess it depends on how loudly Moorook yell. If it is all true they obviously can't. I can't see Mark backing down so the truth will come out one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I think the RSPCA is probably treading quite carefully now it's turning into a bit of PR disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 The whole thing is fascinating and pretty difficult to believe. Makes me see what double standards people seem to have. I can just imagine a breeder demanding they only arrive by appointment because they have to leave the property as they also have another life.

Are You Serious Jo Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 One of the more disturbing things is the number of people who pledge unwavering support for Moorook yet know nothing about the place. The rspca page had a lot more balanced comments and some of the Riverland people who know something about Moorook had posted on there. Like they have said, not everyone in the Riverland support Moorook despite the claims made by Moorook that they have full community back up. One good thing is that the shelter has been upgraded and there are claims that they will cap the number of animals accepted. Ideally we'd also see an investigation into the rspca and have this as part of the evidence that the policing of animal welfare laws needs to go back to the government.

Sheridan Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 As I noticed on another thread, Jo, who investigates the investigators? An investigation into the RSPCA is unlikely to happen. They hold all the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I read that thread and also saw the irony in the whole thing. There is no way to get cruelty within the rspca in most places, but I think the AWL are getting some powers now and could possibly kick up a stink. But as for investigating matters of conduct we all know there is no process. I am hoping a parliamentary investigation can be eventually conducted, if things get bad enough there would be avenues a minister could use that use common people can't. I just can't believe things can keep going like this, they are getting worse and one day it will all come to a head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casowner Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 From my experience with working at the AWL the worst thing to happen would be to give them more power, animals cause emotive reactions unfortunately many that scream the loudest based their actions on emotions not experience and many would probably have a much different view if they had the personal experience that many do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 He is still claiming he confirmed it, but there is still no evidence he is right. Badly handled on both sides, I agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 If he's claiming he confirmed it then he should provide the proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I think if pushed he'll just say he can't expose the source. But another thing that annoys me is a bunch of people saying to Moorook you don't have to prove you are right, just don't worry about it. If I were called a liar I'd be doing everything I can to show I was right because to be known as a liar on something like that is quite serious. It's not like you put the dog out for 20 minutes instead of 30, the police were dragged into it. Talk about rabid supporters who don't care about facts. That goes for the rspca groupies as well.

Sheridan Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Completely agree with you. That's why I think the police should make a statement, though I'm sure the Moorook supporters would just say it was all done on the hush, hush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Moorook have denied that is the source, that one was a troll apparently and just trying to stir. Not saying it's true, just what is claimed. From Moorook's page " the person carrying on that they made the whole ting up has never contacted the page via PM- they contacted an admin from LDoA who passed on their msgs to us. However they kept changing their story- varying from they saw it on a friend status, it was that they saw it themselves, it was that they were following them as they were going to their own destination etc etc. Our posts and our information were not based on this persons accounts- they were based on local people that we trust and local businesses telling an admin on the phone who was ringing to confirm before making posts. The person carrying on about how they made it up is simply nothing but an attention seeking troll." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 The source of the police info was never discussed. As I said, why would the police be instantly informing Moorook that they defected the rspca, very unprofessional and I never got the impression the police up there were in any way suspect. I watched it all unfold on FB that night and had my doubts. I also highly doubt the rspca would be driving around with bald tyres considering they frequently engage the police to accompany them.

Sheridan Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Moorook, according to the thread in general, are also repeating the Charlie MPW dog story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I know, you just say the word rescue and suddenly you have achieved sainthood. I read so many comments that started I have never been there but I support you 100% How do they know what they have been told is true. I've been critical of Moorook but I don't expect people to blindly believe me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheridan Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 (edited) Moorook have removed the Charlie MPW post from their FB page. Edited April 27, 2013 by Sheridan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 same old same old just a bunch of nutters looking for a war to fight. By now the truth and facts are long forgotten and its about pay back and winning a point rather than what's best for the dogs. Lies everywhere.
