Dead Dogs Breeder.

[GeckoTree]

The RSPCA is investigating claims that a female show dog breeder who kept up to 40 animals in 'putrid' kennels west of Sydney shot and killed up to six animals and buried them in a shallow pit.

[GeckoTree]

The dogs, which are believed to be of the show breeds Amstaff, Chinese Crested and Lakeland Terrier breeds, were allegedly shot and buried because the dog breeder was relocating her business and couldn't take every animal with her.

Not against the law in Victoria (farming lobby) and I understand quite the most humane way if done properly, I would rather be shot if I didn't know it was coming than be given a green needle which always must be traumatic to a sentient animal...no matter how tastefully it is handled

She is / was a member here years ago. May have be banned though?

our dogs' lives are ended by our hand . They have no idea , are at home alongside us , and it is instant .

Not sure of the point of that story - life with that breeder doesn't sound enviable

I often think this Persephone especially when I see pups in the pound kept in an enclosed yard 24 hours a day. Starkhere's thread is so beautiful. I really enjoy the updates.

Well Starkhere is an MDBA member and Im very proud to say so.

[BarbedWire]

Not that I am on the side of the breeder in this case but I am not comfortable when newspapers quote from ex-partners in an attempt to stitch someone up just for a story.

...these guidelines (?) are part of the 'Animal Welfare Code of Practice', but they are not laws representing NSW legislation?

[The Spotted Devil]

Code of Practice is enforceable under state legislation.

These are not guidelines they are standards which are enforceable - they are also covered under POCTAA in NSW.
