Redsonic Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Legal advice has shown that some Moreton Bay Regional Council Officers were acting unlawfully when they impounded and euthanased dogs and fined their owners. You'd be very pissed if it happened to you... ABC News 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mairead Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) Appalling but not surprising. Goes with the ad hoc nature of ranger training mentioned by tdierikx in the Coroner thread. With council elections approaching the episode on lobbying "Fighting for the Horses |D.C. Trips" (32 min) by Horse Plus Humane Society www.horseplushumanesociety.org a private operation based in Tennessee could be useful. They went in person to Washington D.C. to meet with as many people as they could. I found it very educational, though different in some areas than here. For example, here personal letters/emails carry more weight than petitions, whereas another group they were working with was presenting 'signature boards' with just signatures not even addresses of the people. They had booklets and posters to hand out, film clips and examples of the weights and chains used in the 'Big Lick' competitions for Tennessee Walking horses that they are trying to ban.

tdierikx Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I'd be worried about coming forward if I had a dog (especially a declared dog) in any part of Queensland after they pushed through their "Stronger Dog Laws" state legislation a few weeks back. Under that new legislation, actions that those council rangers did that were illegal back then, are now legal. You can only imagine what could happen to anyone who has a declared dog of a non-pedigreed bull breed background, as it can now be declared a "pitbull" and ordered to be caged or destroyed - even if the dog has never been any trouble to anyone.

Redsonic Posted September 11 Author Share Posted September 11 An update on this. Moreton Council tried to gag the ABC from reporting the dog declarations they made which later turned out to be illegal: ABC News 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
