when I was a teen our border collie changed, turned out he had a brain tumour

Littlepround? Hes the one who in partnership with Barnaby Joyce drafted and got passed the water trading scheme. He even created the offshore company that his family now run so he cant be accused of conflict of interest. yet he was the chairman when he created it. How can anyone with a consience turn a public property into a share market to profit share holders of what was a public asset on the driest continent on earth? whats the odds if he sees possible profit in it creating a pet meat trading scheme too?

Sounds pretty valid points. They shut down Eastern Creek because they were too lazy to spend the money to prevent another viral escape like the Equine Influenza that shut down so much of eastern Australia. made a motza selling it for an industrial area instead of using the profits to build another in a far more suitable area that was not so close to peoples homes and pets, dogs, cats and horses, susceptible to the infections that can arrive at a quarantine station that could be infected and thus spread it. A shuttle stallion at the Victorian facility also had Equine Influenza from the same flight as the NSW infected shuttle stallion. The difference was it didn't escape the Victorian facility and infect the local Victorian horses, unlike Eastern Creek. considering how much they charge to hold these animals its unconscionable that there is no care or vet staff on hand 24/7 Although considering the proven unconscionable attitudes of politician's over the last months and years sadly not surprising. Demanding better election promises would be a solution, unfortunately past election promises have proven that they will promise anything to get in and then do as they please instead. Well remember a radio host, Stan Zarmanic, suggesting a pool be donated to sue Paul Keating for failing to deliver an election promise and within minutes over $250,000 had been pledged and lines jammed with people wanting to donate. A barrister called and advised him unlike a tradesman giving a quote and being held to account for substandard result for it. the laws do not permit the suing of a politician for breach of promise.

I have one just like it. think she has otter in her. tried a half plastic barrel so she couldn't empty it. well? spends half the day in it. LOVES her swimming pool. so sopping wet hugs most of the time. wondering about getting an automatic waterer. but suspect will need to put it where I have water loving plants as I suspect she will just keep splashing the water out? but at least then only wet paws instead of entire body, sigh at lest being stainless steel shouldn't break? I suspect have to put metal pipe fittings too or anything else would be considered dental floss.

I half agree with you Scratch, but? We dont know the story behind the owners either and call for "outrage and pure vitriol for the OWNERS of these animals." is too over the top sorry. Where is the "outrage and pure vitriol for the" nursing homes subjecting our parents and grandparents to immeasurable suffering? What is wrong with the society who will feel "outrage and pure vitriol for" anyone perceived to have let their pets down, but incapable of equally witch hunting those who do the same to another human being? easier? certainly. Has their owner found themselves gone into hospital, nursing home, developing dementia or Alzheimer's, cancer, lost their home, died?

sometimes I wonder if these "researchers" just come up with anything to justify funding?

so glad for you.

doesn't explain families that came from a cultural background where no one kept a dog as they were considered unclean. Never forget the first time they met my dogs, they came to visit and the dogs were out, I could hear screaming, raced out to find the three children were trying to climb their mother in terror to escape the three chihuahua's that had ran up to them for a pat. Their mum was screaming in terror louder than the children. Took a while to get them used tot them. Another family had been hired for an upcoming add. I was asked to supply a puppy, the children were to run in the park with the puppy. the minute they were introduced to me I realised they had no knowledge of dogs, even a puppy, they were afraid of. Whoever the casting agent was missed a rather important thing. so. set up the puppy pen. put down blankets and got mum, dad and the two children to sit on the blankets and told them they must stay seated. held the puppy so each could pet it. as they began to relax i let the puppy go and it ran to each for attention. so lucky I had 2 hours to get them relaxed interacting with the puppy. so much so in the end the director made the parents sit on the picnic blanket and not allowed to interact with the puppy as they were taking it over from the children. How many of you saw the Sydney wide add when they were building the new freeways? 'We are building a better Sydney'? the parents picnicking and the little boy running to his parents and sister with his blue heeler puppy which jumped the ball as they ran to the parents? When my cheque arrived it had another $300 extra? When I rang to say they have overpaid me I was told, 'the director likes problem solver's. He saw you educating the children and parents so the shoot wasn't a disaster'. emigrate to Australia, get to meet the neighbours dogs and get one themselves. again generations that never had horses, yet get to know them and now also have horses all the children of these families have grown up and all have a dog for themselves and their children too. wonder how those researchers would explain that then?

When mine was stolen in 1999 according to the then Minister for Agriculture Richard Amery, 'the inspector formed the opinion the dogs best interests would be served by seizure and removal to the Yagoona facility' Mind you that is a massive power, considering all they have to do is 'form the opinion' with no avenue of appeal when said 'opinion' was formed despite the dog had none of the conditions they then proceeded to test him for all at my cost? Even more disturbing none of the tests were done for conditions listed as requiring immediate seizure? They were all tests done for conditions the owner is supposed to have 14 days to take to their vet which if not complied with. Will then be seized! They have immense powers and have had them then 1992 since my friends horses were also taken on the 'formed the opinion; they all had feed and water. so much for them saying their ' hands are tied' if the animal they dont want to take has feed and water. Only 'tied' when they tie them themselves Last year they were given $250,000 by the nsw government to eliminate puppy farms. Instead they rebadged the new task force as 'POCTA compliance force' Which instead of inspecting unregistered puppy farms, is busy inspecting all registered breeders for compliance. What has been so disturbing to the inspected, they issued $500 on the spot fines for any issues the inspector deemed was not compliant. no time given to fix it first as was the case in the past. One lady was hit for $1500. They are also 'interpreting the POCTA' as they see fit. There is nothing in the legislation that exercise area must be minimum of 6 feet. But that is the new addition. Another instance of deciding to 'form the opinion' in this case with nothing to do with animal welfare Many have discovered when they paid for colour bond fences which if you read the suppliers adds invariably say are 1800, it has been discovered when the inspector puts the rule to them almost without fail are minimum 2 inches short . All told they must add the extra 2 inches. Wonder if they are still inspecting now the whole state is in lockdown?

double post for some reason?

Yes that is true, the Royal Canine Council realised its income from the register was heading south and to appeal to all dogs owners made the decision to change the public name to DOGS NSW. As a more welcoming name to all dog owners hence the formation of the Associate Register and Sporting register.. Thus widening the income base

from what ive seen the dental vets my friends have gone to almost without fail say to remove the puppy teeth, my two general practitioner (non dental specialist) vets say the adult teeth tend to follow the puppy teeth angles so my friend Nancy took to massaging the two bottom canines to the side so they cleared the jaw, think she did it every day hourly at the start to get them moving to the side. Think on it, how many of you had kids got to playing with your teeth with your tongue and loosened a perfectly good tooth? I know I sure did and the dentist gave me a good talking to and so had to concentrate on not playing with it, He said if I made it crooked the next tooth would follow at the same angle as I had changed the angle of the root in my jaw, he put on a brace so I couldnt forget and fiddle with it and it became solid in its spot again. Nancy got the idea from one of her kids doing the same thing. It worked. the baby teeth moved to the sides and the adult teeth came in same angle.

that is very concerning, all meat in the top end should be screened to ensure the animals have not eaten this plant? It only mentions horses and camels eat it, but I breed cattle and they eat pretty much the same as the horses, as for goats. gee they eat stuff I wouldn't have believed.

Realised the link below will far better explain why so many people who have experience trauma, find it so hard to "snap out of it". The problem is not that you are not "trying hard enough" your trying to access a part of your brain that in these circumstances is not necessarily your friend now. Trauma and in the case of those targeted by the rspca affects no two the same. Its very hard to process learning that all you had thought, been taught about justice and innocent until proven guilty no longer apply. Knowing your innocent, but no one to appeal to. Discovering that where pets are concerned you are treated as automatically guilty knocks all your world as you knew it, on its ear. The internal damage goes to a part of the brain you cannot consciously access. But hypnotism can. Read the link first, its a quite quirky author explaining without the medical jargon. https://www.afom.org.au/images/research/V.93-3-Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Sethanne Howard and Mark Crandalll.pdf I know until I read this I could not understand what was going on. You may feel, this has nothing to do with my depression etc. BUT, as below. It does. I was miss diagnosed for 14 years. Lost all those years cannot get back. They now know the resulting damage can even be seen on a MRI. “ The next edition of the DSM will contain an updated definition for PTSD that will widen the criteria to include emotional as well as physical trauma. Typically one thinks of trauma as a single life-threatening event; however, trauma can also arise from an accumulation of small incidents rather than one major incident” “repeated abuse (verbal, physical, or sexual), regular intrusion and violation of one’s physical or psychological space (bullying, stalking, harassment”

Sadly you are now a member of a very large club. On the bright side, if you had posted that in 1999 you would have been banned from posting here for months. I know. I was. only allowed after sentance ended on condition I never mentioned the sacred cow. as for pilloried with "where there's smoke there's fire . even 19 years later someone had the hide to belch it. Incredibly painful for you as this is, there is the bright side, and there really is, a bright side. People WILL................... believe you. There are too many of us now that know your telling the truth. You need help and you need it now. Head to your doctor and ask can they recommend someone who can teach you self hypnosis. the group is called "Australian Society of Clinical hypnotherapists" https://www.asch.com.au/find-a-hypnotherapist/ I am suggesting you try it as the mental damage caused does not go away any time soon. You can learn to deal with the stress and learn to stop what in my case became increasing panic attacks. Every one is different how stress affects them, Sadly depression is a main part of the problem and just doctors, psychiatrists only drug you to deal with it, Psychotherapist's just sit and listen (make a motza) and your supposed to feel better talking about it? Didn't work for me, nor for many I know. They dont teach you how to deal with all the emotional whorlpools you will be experiencing. I wasted 14 years being drugged to deal with the heartbreak. Before finally being referred to learn self hypnosis. they teach you a "key" to repeat to yourself to still the overwhelming and re-find your quiet place and coping strategy. The bad news is its not an "instant" fix like I hoped it would be. But learning to deal with stress is a life changer believe me. rspca inspectors thrive on inflicting the most stress possible on their target. As you are learning. You can be amazingly stronger than you think you can be. Best wishes. Hang in there. dont let them win. Its their aphrodisiac. Deny them their pleasure.

Friend send me this today. remarkable, a puppy objected to being stared at by her horse? so its not just Humans can be assumed to being rude too . Rupert is 8 months old. Rupert started barking for no apparent reason, turns out he was uncertain about the steady regard of Tempestade the buckskin horse watching him from behind the tree.

Just realised, the family of that baby didn't even do something as basic as Paul did that first night they brought Emma home. He shut the door to her room, ensuring the dogs could not go near her unsupervised. Even though they had proved they had no intention of harming her that first time he found them under her cot guarding her. Never forget, Pauls best friend was gesticulating one day, just after Paul and Sue began dating. He accidently hit Sue. Paul had to catch Benny in mid air as he flew to Sue's defence. As for Robbo, he was utterly shocked, he had grown up with Paul and Benny, yet some how Benny knew Sue and Paul were already a couple and instantly flew to "defend" her from the shocked Robbo. Although cattledogs are a very differently selected breed, herding and guarding their human and belongings, compared to terriers bred for hunting. That is why that poor baby died. I well remember my mum making sure the cat could not get into the room when my brothers and sister were asleep in their cot, she was so sure a cat might suffocate a baby if it curled up with the baby. Duty of care was lacking in that home. Is the "fur baby" syndrome part of the problem? Not enough practical education anymore? We were taught far more about animals than modern parents are anymore now all pets are considered "fur children" Leaving a baby unsupervised with even another young child can end in tragedy. Young children left unsupervised can just as easily injure a baby.

ONLY taken 30 years since they jumped the rails in every state of Australia, to finally see perhaps recognition and so many lives already destroyed. https://player.fm/series/our-nation-today/senator-malcolm-roberts-calls-for-the-rspca-to-be-de-registered-as-a-charity?fbclid=IwAR3X1YVaq0_x0vcdw6nR71ibLpcJ16RkbuEpP__yjn-SCS8sJL2phAf9PvI In this podcast two guests join us to a discuss our modern-day RSPCA. What might surprise you is that this isn’t a heart-warming story. The Royal Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, known as the RSPCA, dates to 1871 when a public meeting was held in Victoria in response to the ill treatment of horses. The QLD RSPCA was formed in 1883. The RSPCA is a household name and many consider it a beacon of respect and care for animals. Today, the RSPCA has capitalised on its branding of animal welfare with producers and brand owners being able to use the RSPCA logo to reflect their shared vision for animal welfare. Today we can buy RSPCA approved meat in our supermarkets. Typically, we don’t question the integrity of the claimed “animal welfare” standards as we take for granted that this iconic brand is squeaky clean. Several QLD constituents contacted my office recently with extraordinary stories about how the RSPCA were conducting themselves. Since asking questions at Senate Estimates about the RSPCA, their methods and the legitimacy of their not-for-profit status, we’ve been flooded with more calls and emails. Their stories share many similar themes and the overall message is that there is something rotten in the state of the RSPCA. The concerns being raised are varied. The RSPCA’s charity status means that they are not-for-profit and enjoy a tax-free status. Looking closely at the recent annual report it shows revenue was $58 million and included in that is a $4 million Federal Govt grant. The hefty surplus of $8.7 million is what prompted Senate Estimates questions of the Commissioner for Charities and Not-For-Profits. My questions were about whether the RSPCA should continue to enjoy charitable status? We’re waiting for that answer as no-one could provide one on the day. The RSPCA appears to be leveraging its charity branding to become heavily commercial. I have already mentioned the RSPCA approved meat and today RSPCA pet shops are being set up in the suburbs. On the face of it there is no problem. It is when we understand how the RSPCA is conducting itself under its Inspectorate powers, that we see the problem. The RSPCA’s Inspectorate of RSPCA QLD, has power to investigate and confiscate animals that are poorly treated. That is the heart of what we expect from them. What we don’t expect is seizure of animals based on lies. We have dozens of examples where Inspectorate officers have entered properties and confiscated with no prior notification or investigation. All this is based on an anonymous tip off that is never disclosed to the property owners. The warrants JPs sign sometimes use photographs of animals in poor conditions, which do not match the animals to be seized. This is only the beginning. Some pet owners have then seen their animals online for sale within days. This is the problem when the RSPCA have a commercial arm alongside their charitable arm when they can confiscate and sell based on misuse of powers and lies. This is a clear conflict of interest. Many pet shop owners, registered breeders, private pet owners, animal rescuers and veterinarians have experienced the full force of the RSPCA’s misuse of power. Many have spoken out against this strong arm approach and suffered the consequences. Pet shop businesses have been sabotaged when the RSPCA advises their suppliers to blacklist them based on false accusations of animal cruelty. Veterinarians who have spoken out against this behaviour have also suffered from the RSPCA spreading false accusations regarding their standards of animal care. Business have been decimated through this belligerent behaviour. My two guests, who both own pet stores, join us to share their experiences with the RSPCA. Their stories are confronting. Leichelle and Nicole’s stories are extraordinary and not what we expect of a charity that is supposed to champion care and respect for animals. This unconscionable conduct is exploiting its charitable and tax-free status to create a multi-million dollar business. Its strong-arm approach is clearly outside of acceptable conduct under both the Acts. The RSPCA have become a law unto themselves, issuing warrants based on lies, not going through due process to investigate before seizing animals, extorting money out of people for housing their stolen animals and then annihilating local private businesses through negative media and malicious lies. It’s quite a rap sheet for the warm and fuzzy RSPCA we all grew up with. This belligerent and intimidatory behaviour must stop. Their exploitation business model must be stopped. I am calling for the RSPCA to be de-registered as a charity. I urge everyone to take your complaints to the ACCC and to the Charities and Not-for-Profit Commission for investigation. Everyone who donates to the RSPCA, think again. Any RSPCA employees, past or present, are invited to call my office and share their stories. This behaviour has gone under the radar for too long. We need to bring the RSPCA back to the animal welfare organisation it is supposed to be.

even guard kids they just met, never forget my brothers daughters didn't want to go home after their first visit, so they ran from their dad. he chased them, next I know brother is running for the house with my acd girl debbi hot on his heels "protecting" my neices. Breed trait. daughter wasn't any help either she was laughing too laughed so much I couldn't tell her to stop, he dived in the back door and closed it with me laughing my head off

A friend rang asking would I put her cattle dog girl in pup, when I asked why, she said Im hoping it will change her attitude to my baby. Immediate red flag to me. asked what’s going on with her. She said "I can’t risk her near my newborn baby." "Soon as she sees the baby she is looking about to attack" told her she might look like a cattle dog, but she sure isn't. If my dad saw that she would be wearing a bullet. Normal ACD takes one sniff of your newborn and it’s added to the list of family additions. , anything with your scent on it is automatically "your" property and now under guard.. Benny and Rosie after introduction to newborn Emma deserted their beds to sleep beside her cot, so Paul closed her bedroom door, so instead they guarded her door. 3 days later Sue and Paul went for a walk. The pair walked beside the pram. Instead of at heel. People coming the other way and crossed the road as they approached. Paul wondered why, so crossed the road and walked parallel to the pram. as the people approached both dogs "smiled" and the person crossed the road. .... That I told my friend is normal acd behaviour. There is something wrong with her dog. She had to build a run for her with a double fence so she could not grab her daughter, nor could the baby get an arm through the first fence to the second fence. I bet the parents of that baby were not reading their dog as well as my friend did with hers. Or their baby would still be alive.

probably simpler to ban all dogs from entering the zone. as well ban any dogs from going out of the area if infected. But then I suppose people will scream they are being denied their freedom

in drought conditions pattersens curse is deliberately grazed to keep conditon on the sheep and cattle until sale as they know they have to be sold by a minimum time or they will die before sale if left too long. forget the name of the toxin but they are consigned for sale for human consumption. cause of death if left on it too long? Liver failure The reason for its other name, salvation jane. saved the stock long enough to sell instead of buried.

Littermates. The effects of early spaying. One was spayed around 6 months. So she did not have the hormones to tell her when to grow and when to stop growing. It can also cause joint issues recessed vulva’s, incontinence, and cancer, etc. her bones grew too long, her rib cage did not expand like it should have and she also has skin issues now. The other one is her littermate who was never spayed she’s actually younger in the picture than the one that was spayed early. This has nothing to do with genetics, both of these puppies were show quality, both come from champions, the one looks like she came from a very poorly bred litter. And if you look at her puppy picture you can see her conformation is correct, her chest is to her elbows where it should be, but now at two years old it is not there and it should be.

stumbled on an update for the blue mountains shelter. so attitudes have not improved it seems, so well summed up by "Ward 1 councillor Kerry Brown said she felt the joint facility sounded "cruel and impractical". https://www.bluemountainsgazette.com.au/story/7048555/moving-ahead-for-wildlife-at-katoomba-rspca/ DECEMBER 16 2020 - 3:00PM Dual-purpose shelter a step closer at Katoomba RSPCA Jennie Curtin Local News The RSPCA has moved a step closer to creating a native wildlife sanctuary at its Katoomba facility, with National Parks giving it a provisional licence. But the organisation was unable to tell the Gazette how the dual purpose shelter might work or how the native and domestic animals will be kept separate. Repeated requests for information elicited no response. It is an issue worrying some members of the local RSPCA branch. Branch vice-president, Bob Kemnitz, said wildlife could be stressed "by the sight, sound or even smell of the dogs". He believed it could mean dogs being kept in a totally enclosed building. "I am concerned for the dogs which will need to be locked away in the new, totally enclosed kennels proposed for the site, in order to protect the wildlife which would be sharing the site with them." Ward 1 councillor Kerry Brown said she felt the joint facility sounded "cruel and impractical". "To avoid stressing wildlife, it means the companion animals would have to be kept permanently enclosed out of sight and sound of the outside world. For dogs this will be particularly stressful. How will they be exercised and how will the barking be managed inside the enclosure? They will be chewing their own paws in no time. "Dogs could only be kept in such conditions for a few days. So what happens if they are not returned to their owners or adopted quickly? I fear killing them would be the quickest and easiest solution." The granting of a provisional licence to rehabilitate wildlife is only a first step for the RSPCA. A revamped facility will need development consent, which will be submitted to the Local Planning Panel for determination. It comes as council and the organisation finalise an agreement for Katoomba to continue to operate as a pound for stray domestic animals. Councillors at an extraordinary meeting voted to negotiate a new deal with the RSPCA without going to open tender. A report noted that in previous processes in 2008, 2011 and 2016, the RSPCA had been the only valid tenderer. Crs Brown and Kevin Schreiber voted against the tender exemption but they then supported negotiating a new deal. "I think it is time we looked further afield," Cr Brown said. "That would include rescue groups, private animal care retreats, vets and also the feasibility of running our own service."
