Are those 129 all transferred to other rescues to do the hard work, or are they with RSPCA Tas? The article isn't clear on that.

It was on ABC News last night as well.  From what I saw I think they are all still with the RSPCA.

The RSPCA is the voice in the article so it sounds like they have the ones done all that great work. But as we know, they are experts at spinning things....

Yeah, learn to play and do stairs.

@Rebanne  Yes.  That's right.  Dog called Noodle as I recall.  Learning to go up and down stairs and play with another adoptee.

Everything I hear and read is ambiguous and the full story is just not being told.  Brightside Farm Sanctuary in Tasmania has taken 54 dogs.  When they posted about going up and getting the first 28, I posted on Brightside's FB page asking for more information which I didn't get.  I heard the RSPCA saying that each dog's veterinary expenses would be in the region of $1,000.  I posted on Brightside's FB saying that I hoped the RSPCA was giving $1,000 for all the dogs they were taking.  They edited a former post saying that the RSPCA was giving them $1k for each dog.  They posted a video of a dog playing and someone asked about adoption.  Brightside said the dog already had a home.  It is very hard to get a complete picture, but I think I read in the huge comment trail that the dogs who have been approved for new homes were going to rescue groups like Brightside for all their veterinary requirements prior to going to their homes.  Who knows?  It is all very convoluted.   

 

That said, the work Brightside does is simply mind boggling and they take on some of the most needy and heartbreakingly mistreated animals you'd never want to see.  All on donations and with only a few volunteers.

the RSPCA is never 100% open. They like to make themselves out the good guys but it is often rescues that help pick up the pieces. I really hope that the RSPCA is paying the vet bills.

Me too, @Rebanne.  I imagine that it will be like pulling teeth to get the funds out of them.  However, the lady who runs Brightside is really singing her praises of the new RSCPA chief in Tasmania, says she knows her well and is very happy she is now in that position.  If this is the case, hopefully the new chief will be able to withstand the politics in this organisation.
