_PL_ Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Thought it best to put here as the rescue section is pretty much dead. But I was asked to post. So I'm talking Oscar's Law here sorry, but this needs to get more coverage. More details of the full story have been posted naming names, which you can read if you feel inclined but I'm only interested in sharing the album in case anyone can identify or has seen one of these dogs on FB groups and pages relating to pound release and transport or on FTGH / Lost/ Stolen dogs. Please don't name anyone or their rescue because the thread will have to be removed. Request mods remove if you feel this is inappropriate. No hard feelings. :) Dogs in album; (partially derailed by arguments about chaining) https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1298216046873232.1073741880.135173789844136&type=3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Is this the chained dogs - blind bight album? Are you asking this to be shared with lost/found groups on Facebook? I'm confused about the situation but it appears you cannot say more? Were the dogs stolen or something?

_PL_ Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) That's them. Sorry. They've been found on a property pretty much left to themselves apart from being fed, after their rescue left town. I was more interested in getting the dogs identified if anyone recognises them. Or share if you like, wherever would behelpful. You never know. There are also dogs that were sent from pounds. Thankfully they will be chipped, but once a dog is sent over the border it goes on a different registry which is how pound dogs can leave the state and kind of vanish. Chipped pound dogs are being followed up but it takes time.. If a dog has been surrendered then having no chip won't help unless the owner sees them. A couple have been identified though which is great. :) No idea if any were stolen, that would need to be confirmed by the original owners. I can't say a lot on DOL because Troy needs to not be involved and will have to take the thread down. Edited May 24, 2016 by Powerlegs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Kisses Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks Powerlegs. I will share the album on the lost/found page of my local area. Edited May 24, 2016 by Papillon Kisses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*kirty* Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 A 'news' website has recently named the people and 'rescue' involved. And apparently they are completely refusing to surrender the dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willem Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 ...looks for me like a typical collection of dogs used for pig hunting, which is legal in NSW and QLD?...in Victoria you can still use dogs, but sticking is illegal?.....the pigs do a lot of damage to farmers (they can ruin crop worth thousands of $ in one night) so I would assume pig hunters / doggers get also a lot of support? ...if they can't prove that the dogs have been stolen the legal leverage the council has could be limited.

stellnme Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 (edited) Nothing to do with pig hunting. Apparently the dogs are always chained to their kennels. Apparently (again) the majority of dogs are from pounds "rescued" by a "rescue", and left on an ex's property.

Little Gifts Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Where did you see a picture of a dog with a piglet Willem? These dogs are not used for hunting or fighting. One of the FB pics has a dog with some kind of dead animal in its mouth. I couldn't tell if it was a piglet but then I didn't scrutinise it either. How terribly sad that thousands of people are now aware of the plight of 40 companion animals living in less than ideal circumstances (especially with colder months upon us) yet nothing can legally be done to remove them. Even sadder is the fact that some have been identified as stolen and some were 'rescued' from other poor circumstances. It doesn't sit right with me and I know it doesn't sit right with the OL people. As a society we should be angry that this is even possible while council and the RSPCA debate whose responsibility it is and if there are even any grounds to seize. Protecting all creatures great and small my arse. This is how we treat our most vulnerable in this country and it's not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralPug Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Shared with a large Victorian lost dogs page. Have asked for no comments except for ID as otherwise admin will block due to previous discussion on the matter going haywire. Can't blame them.

*kirty* Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 That looks like a ruined toy, not a piglet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
