tdierikx Posted Friday at 05:27 PM Share Posted Friday at 05:27 PM That is seriously messed up... are there no depths to which the RSPCA won't sink? They failed to follow up on reports of cruelty by those people for years, but now somehow those people are now liable for what happened there?

Those who are mounting these prosecutions need to be forensically examined themselves to see what their agenda is. You have to be suspicious when whistleblowers (in any part of society) are dragged into courts. Not difficult to hazard a guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted yesterday at 05:27 PM Share Posted yesterday at 05:27 PM Quote It was not until the ABC approached the RSPCA for comment about the whistleblower reports that it initiated a review into whether anyone who worked at the puppy farm could be prosecuted. This is particularly telling... as soon as adverse media attention falls on RSPCA for their inaction after the workers reported issues (over a number of years), they decide to try to go after those who did the reporting... shame RSPCA, shame! One does wonder why those faced with this sort of cruelty on a daily basis would continue to work there, but maybe it was the only job they could get and keep? T.

I can't get the horror out of my head. I just wonder how many other people breed dogs and treat them with such incredible cruelty. The ones that haven't been caught. It is beyond sad. I agree @tdierikx, how could you still work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones that haven't been caught. It is beyond sad. It's not necessarily a numbers thing when it comes to animal welfare issues... someone with only 2 dogs can treat them poorly too. I have actually visited a large scale breeding facility in NSW where I wouldn't have been ashamed to say I worked. Staff ratios were great, the yards, kennels and grounds were spotless, the dogs were all in great health and were people oriented, and the record keeping and care of whelping bitches and litters was spot on. The facility was a registered business with all the relevant authorities, and was subject to unannounced audits by various levels and RSPCA at any point in time. It can be done "right" at scale if one is inclined to put animal welfare first and foremost. In contrast, I have been to private residences with only 2 dogs, and wondered how they could keep their animals that way... T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
