    Three people injured in dog attack in Sydney’s west

    A mother and her child are in hospital and a man is in an induced coma after two dogs went on a rampage in Sydney’s west this afternoon.

    Two dogs have gone on a rampage which has left three people — including a mother and her young daughter — with serious injuries in Sydney’s west this afternoon.

    A 40-year-old man went into cardiac arrest after being bitten several times on his face, ears, chest and abdomen at a home on Vincennes Avenue at Tregear at about 1pm.

    He suffered multiple lacerations to his body after being mauled by the two dogs, according to CareFlight which sent a rapid response helicopter with a medical team to the scene.

    The man needed a blood transfusion and was placed in an induced coma to stabilise him.

    He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

    A 30-year-old woman and her 10-year-old daughter were also bitten by the dogs and are also being taken to Westmead Hospital for treatment.

    A NSW Ambulance spokesman said the girl was bitten on the back, while her mother was bitten on the forearm.

    They are both in a stable condition.

    It’s understood the man — who was not the owner of the dogs — was staying at the house and was being visited by the mum and daughter.

    ABC reports that the woman and girl were attacked by the dogs and the man was injured while trying to protect them. It also reports that the dogs were Staffordshire bull terriers.

    NSW Ambulance Acting Superintendent Jordan Emery told 2GB’s Ben Fordham the man “sustained very significant injuries”.

    “His injuries were very extensive and there was a significant amount of blood loss as a result of the incident,” Mr Emery said.

    “We sent a whole range of resources including a number of intensive care paramedics, the Careflight helicopter and an ambulance inspector”.

    The RSPCA attended the scene and the dogs have been locked away.

    Officers from Mount Druitt Police Area Command are investigating.

    Apparently some of the girls had puppies there too...

    The best option is to fight those mongrels with court applications from the day one, not to sit and wait to be ruined by them.. But is so hard to explain this to people who are hurting so badly in the first months...

    Maybe you can organise the financial backing needed to fight.

  3. https://www.2gb.com/exclusive-illegal-dump-owners-face-6-million-clean-up-bill/

     

    Ray Hadley has revealed 2,000 tonnes of asbestos-contaminated waste has been found at a pet hotel in Sydney’s north-west.

    The NSW EPA has confirmed Pet Resort Dural’s owners, David and Maria Levy, will be issued with a clean-up notice after the material was discovered at their business.

    (NSW EPA statement)

    “We can confirm that the EPA attended the Pet Resorts Dural site last week. Inspectors found waste at the site and are currently investigating the matter. A draft clean up notice is being issued today.”

    The couple are also facing a $6-million bill to remove huge amounts of asbestos-laden waste illegally dumped on their other property on Geelans Rd at Arcadia.

    In total more than 40,000 tonnes of contaminated material will need to be cleared from the Levy’s properties.

    David and Maria Levy have been contacted for comment.

  4. Shepparton News

     

    A man who was sent to prison for six months for the abuse of animals has faced another charge while in prison.

    Kaleb Kennedy, 21, from Cobram, faced Shepparton Magistrates’ Court via videolink from prison on two charges of receiving stolen goods and handling proceeds of crime. Kennedy pleaded guilty.

    Police prosecutor Leading Senior Constable Kim Talbot told the court that the bullbar was stolen from a man in Gunnedah in north-eastern NSW in June last year.

    Police uncovered the stolen bullbar at Kennedy’s Cobram home during a search 10 days later.

    When interviewed, Kennedy told police that he bought the bullbar from a person he met at a rodeo in Tamworth, but when asked he could only remember a first name for the seller.

    He was convicted and fined $2500 plus court costs.

    Kennedy is serving six months in prison for training his pet dogs to hunt and kill wild animals.

    He was sentenced in July for a range of animal cruelty offences in Victoria and Southern NSW during a period of months in 2016.

    He is due to be released from prison in December.

  5. Kaleb Kennedy broke his bail conditions set by the Victorian Court.

    He will face court in Victoria once out of custody in NSW.

    This persons charges include burglary, theft, various traffic offences and aggravated animal cruelty.

     

    Kaleb Kennedy is the grandson of Les and Linda Murphy.

    The Murphy's operated Strathbogie Puppy Factory - google as an interesting read.

     

    Kaleb Kennedy's mother is Jodie Murphy, aka Jodie Knox, owner of Murray River Puppies.

  6. When I first moved to this area back in 1988 there was a lady who was always in the local paper about being victimised by the local council and always in desperate need of public assistance. She saved every single dog she could and she had them all living together in one big fenced yard. Hundreds of them. She was always being evicted from a property and in desperate need of a new one for having too many dogs because she refused to play by any real rules. The local shopping centres had food donation bins and they were always full. I don't know how else she covered the costs. I never knew of anyone who adopted from her, there were never any volunteers pictured or mentioned in the news stories and I knew the biggest vet in this town (who also donated a lot of services) and she wasn't a client of theirs. The stories were always about her saving the dogs, not rehabilitating and rehoming them. From the photos it looked sanitary but barren and now I realise that it was not a good place for a dog to be and she was probably a hoarder using the guise of being a persecuted rescuer. I think her first name was Margot. She dropped off the radar quite a while back and I always wondered what happened to all those dogs.

    LG are you referring to Margot Bernard from Margo's Animal Sanctuary?

    This lady was living in the Logan Council area and had an interim licence for her many critters. She had a barnyard full of assorted animals.

    In 2014 Margo was finally pushed by council to downsize and last I heard she had 5 dogs.

    Around the end of 2014 Margo and her barnyard seems to have disappeared.

  7. Jill I am sad to hear this has happened to you.

    Wollondilly is a small rural pound and I have found they have always done their best by the animals.

    I have worked with and supported this pound for many years and never had a problem at all.

    The staff have been fantastic as have the admin ladies too.

    In the last couple of years when Tdierikx and I have visited the pound there have been "situations" the volunteers have created themselves.

    Melzawelza I would love to hear how improvements can be implemented for Wollondilly - inbox if you prefer.

  8. We had a 7 week old JRT puppy surrendered to us last year - according to the owner the puppy was aggressive.

    The puppy drew blood from the owners grandkids arm!!

    When pup arrived it was a hyperactive ball of energy and the batteries never seemed to run dry.

    Jill from JRT rescue was brilliant and we rehomed a well trained (for a JRT pup) 12 week old pup.

    Without the advice from JRT Rescue I really think this pup may have been doomed.

    I cannot work out if I am missing something here as Jill from JRT rescue certainly knows this breed.

    Perhaps the OP can contact JRT rescue directly.

  9. A ROWVILLE family has been left traumatised after their three pet dogs were yesterday mauled to death by a neighbour’s dogs.

    Tarnia Salt’s 11-year-old daughter Hayley has been left horrified after coming across the gruesome scene yesterday about 3.45pm.

    The Salt family is shattered after losing the dogs — a 14-year-old pug, a 10-month old cavalier and 4-month-old pug — but thankful the deadly attack didn’t occur when their two young children were playing outside.

    “As soon as we got home from school, Hayley went outside and all I heard was this loud scream,” Ms Salt said.

    “I came out to find our three dogs dead lying on the ground, and I just checked if any were still alive and they weren’t, but they were still warm so it hadn’t been that long.

    “We are very dedicated to our dogs — they were inside dogs and we loved them. They are lost, we are completely lost.”

    Ms Salt said the two killer dogs — which belonged to neighbours behind her property — had gained entry by digging a hole under the fence.

    Ms Salt said the dogs’ owners had told her they were sorry for the attack and promised to have the dogs put down.

    “He (the neighbour) told me they were fox terriers, but one of them was quite big and looks like it is crossed with something” she said.

    “I’m a dog lover, so I’m not sure whether they should be put down. However, if they could do that to our dogs, imagine what they could do to a young child.

    “If we had come home earlier and my children walked out it could have been a lot worse.”

    Ms Salt said her 14-year-old pug had been sick for the past 10 months but thought she would have lasted at least another year.

    “She should have died in peace and love, with me by her side,” she said.

    “I can’t imagine what they were feeling to be slaughtered. They would have been so scared.

    “I could see two pugs didn’t give up much of a fight. The cavalier was in bad shape so she fought back as best she could.”

    The family have already buried the dogs in the backyard and say they plan to have more dogs in the future.

    Ms Salt said she would contact Knox City Council today about the incident.

  10. This was the transport run from Mildura and Swan Hill Pound to Melbourne this morning. It doesn't involve a transport company.

    So far all the cats and guinea pigs have been accounted for and seem to be ok, still waiting to hear how many dogs did not make it.

    Very sad situation all round.

    Tis strange the different accounts of the crash coming through. xx LP xx
