Kajirin Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 They're pretty much one eyed supporters. doesn't matter how much logic or reason is brought into the equation. They start of believing and continue to do so, to the point of just accepting and defending what they believe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeelerLove Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm so grateful for DOL.. I've been away for a few days without internet access.. without this thread I would have missed all the going ons and deleted posts :laugh: The councils attitude towards dumping animals on Lola because it is "too expensive" for them to euthanise is disgusting. I have heard it from several people, including riverland residents, that the Riverland council's euthanasia method is a bullet at the local dump. I don't think they are worried about the cost of that, I think it is more that they are lazy and it is easier for them to dump the animals on Lola and save the backlash from the few people in the riverland that actually give a c**p about what happens to the animals up there (there don't seem to be very many!) LOL at Mark's facebook post that Snook put up about the shortfalls on social networking. Pot calling the kettle black, anyone? I would love to find out who is doing this media story and point them towards Mark's fake facebook profiles! Disturbing that the BSL group have asked him to speak. Something so important and they are going to use someone like him. If at all possible I would say there is potential for him to cause the BSL issue more harm that what he has already done Moorook. I hope whoever is organising the event realises what he is really like before it is too late. I hate that he keeps playing the elderly card. Who cares if Lola is old. She's not that old. And regardless, when you get older, there are things you can't do anymore and if you can't do something because you can no longer keep up or it is unsafe, you shouldn't try. If someone is old and isn't capable of driving a car anymore, you aren't going to let them go out and drive just because you feel bad because they are old. If Lola is at the age where it is too hard for her to keep up with all the requirements and needs of the shelter and animals, then she shouldn't be doing it. So glad to see people are starting to realise how dodgy he is. It is disturbing that Lola doesn't seem to care that he is pissing off the people that have stuck by her for so long... without them she will have no one as soon as the media circus and Mark are gone and will be in a worse position. As soon as the media has died down and Mark can't get any more publicity out of Moorook and Lola he will be gone and she will be left to pick up the pieces. I really feel for the long term volunteers that seem to have been put on the back bench rather rudely. I can't believe he actually tried to say that Star Force got called out for some cows :laugh: that is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard. As for the police being out there, the only thing they would have been called out for is to direct traffic. Police are not called out to euthanise animals that have been hit by cars, I don't believe they even have rights to do that. Not in the metro area anyway- there are a couple of specialist shooters that have special permits that are called out to put an animal out of its misery if it has been injured by a car. And they would not shoot cows anyway lol. I love that Mark's wife is actually arguing with someone that was there and is providing a first hand account. Seems even she believes Mark's bulls**t spin haha. I hope Mark is forced to explain about the website statement. I would love to hear what he has done to make the volunteer do that. On the other hand, I hope he keeps digging his hole deeper, so the emails are posted for all to see. Finally - minimax - LOL, hit the nail on the head, just perfect.

minimax Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 So, this morning MA posts that he's contacted Tim, who is now CEO of RSPCA SA and offered support for the 100 dogs they have just seized, as Moorook has room for up to 70 and is willing to cover costs? I wonder how that will go down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Oh good lord, has he forgotten the cruelty charges hanging over Lola and where is all that money going to come from, he keeps posting that he is broke! This might be his damage control biggie, 70 dogs, he milked the cows enough already :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 When they don't accept his generous offer (which of course is generous as he isn't there helping at Moorook each day, caring for an extra 70 dogs) he can play the victim and pull the big bad RSPCA don't care about the dogs because they didn't take up his offer of assistance.

Are You Serious Jo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He knows what he is doing alright, but it makes him look like a prize idiot for asking in the first place, he is probably getting cocky because his supporters will swallow anything, even turn on Moorook if he says so. Not sure I would want to be the leader of a gang of the stupidest people on the planet but beggars can't be choosers :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelerLove Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Lola is happy to help them with fostering, and the RSPCA have a spare 14 million, so sure they can cope, ot blankets Happy to help foster at no cost, but not happy to donate blankets or food as the RSPCA can surely cope with their spare 14 million.

minimax Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 And someone asked him a question about something non-animal related on his FB, and he couldn't help, nor could he have cared less to find out how to help them. To me, that says a lot about him. He wouldn't get any public glory from assisting them, so no need to bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelerLove Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 See, it's a good thing that some of us have too much time on their hands. How else would you stay informed? :laugh: With regard to Mark speaking at the anti-BSL rally, the organiser has been informed and is not removing Mark from the list of speakers but will not be allowing speakers to push their own agenda on the day. I thought quite a lot about whether or not to attend the rally because of Mark's involvement but in the end I have decided that the cause is more important than my objection to Mark speaking and that as he is not an organiser, host or key speaker I will still go. If he had a more significant role my thoughts on that might be different. Mark does keep playing the "Lola is old" and sometimes the "Lola is sick" card to get her some sympathy but at the same time, she does seem like a pretty hardy woman and not frail and weak. Regardless though, the number of animals she has is far too many for her (or anyone) to care for at a decent standard with the level of manpower she has. Since Mark got involved she's also lost at least three, possibly four long term volunteers, so has even less help than before. I agree, as soon as this is over Mark will move on to his next big cause and there will be no drama to motivate volunteers to drive the 2+ hours each way to Moorook to help and she will be totally screwed, because she's given Mark preference over the people who have stuck by her for years and now they're gone. Mark's wife actually stated on the night that the STAR Force were at the scene. She did the same thing with the last "the sky is falling" routine with the RSPCA supposedly being on their way to Moorook and posted that she had confirmation the RSPCA were at Moorook and for everyone to stop commenting until she heard more. At the same time Paul Winds, who was at Moorook, was posting that the RSPCA were a no show but it took Mark over 24 hours to confirm that himself. Lol very grateful, thank you :) It will be interesting to see what he has to say and if he ignores the organiser and pushes his own agenda anyway, which wouldn't surprise me. It will be good to see how he conducts himself if he says something that others do not agree with.. he won't have a computer screen to hide behind and a keyboard to hit delete on.. When I met Lola she came across as a tough old chook. Weak and frail are not words I would use to describe her at all, in fact are quite the opposite. The website message has been changed again. Hopefully my attachment works - I don't know how to put screenshots in my post like you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Who needs the rspca to fix the place, you have Mark dismantling it one person at a time. I suspect Mark's real life way of dealing with questions he doesn't like is to shout over top of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeelerLove Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Lol Jo I suspect you are right. Then when that doesn't get him anywhere he has a huff and storms off to crack a tanty, muttering under his breath the whole way :laugh: I feel so sorry for the poor volunteers that have been there through thick and thin and are now getting kicked to the curb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It must really hurt, I know they have given a hell of a lot to Moorook for a while. Some snake oil salesman blows in and their opinions mean nothing. The worst part is we could all see this coming. Dog help the BSL people if he gets a look in.

minimax Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wow, sounds like Moorook have basically chosen MA over their volunteers. That will be interesting when he blows back out and onto a new cause, leaving them for dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are You Serious Jo Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I guess it will come down to how many supporters he thinks he can gain as to whether he latches onto the anti-BSL crowd. It won't cost him much to get involved at a superficial level so little outlay. The animal rights movement however has a much bigger audience and he has tested the waters with Moorook. I think he'll pick something bigger than BSL because he will know that BSL is a bit of a risk publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Here's hoping that his research for his anti-BSL speech will be better than his research into the donations thing for Lola... ... then again, he's probably looking up Wikipedia right now... *sigh* T.

BlackJaq Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 He was pretty useless when he was referring to it on radio last night. Pumping out the "deed not breed" slogan seemed to be all he had and he was referring to BSL as new legislation that's either just come in or just coming in... Oh my God, he will make anti BSL campaigners look like total retards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackJaq Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) One can only hope. Is there any way to slap him with a gag order? :p I would consider paying for it out of my own pocket Edited June 11, 2013 by BlackJaq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
