some suspect now that the Crime and Corruption Commission seems to be corrupt too? " Last week, the Minister told the journo John Flint (but not Adele), who has followed this case from the beginning .. "if Ms Culverwell was to return to court to have her conviction overturned, we will return the dog to her". The Minister said this knowing full well that 4 years of fighting this gross injustice has stripped Adele of every assett she has, she doesn't even have a car now. This statement from the new (Labor) Minister comes after Adele was told 12 months ago by DAFWA that they would a) get Roxy back and return her to Adele, b) overturn her conviction, c) organize some compensation for her. None of these things happened and Roxy was sent to SA by Inspector in defiance of a Court Order. A secret deal was struck between the rspca and the Minister resulting in the rspca's pro bono lawyer applying to the Solicitor General for "a waiver for Swift's behaviour". Documents obtained through FOI show that the Minister asked for this to be kept confidential to avoid further action from Ms Culverwell. So approximately 6 months ago, a *waiver* was granted to Inspector Swift for her illegal behaviour ie defying a Court Order, and the Minister closed the file. Adele was never advised of this and only found out about it through FOI. This case has now been submitted to, and accepted by the Crime and Corruption Commission. " " Update : after months of work by Adele preparing documents the case was rejected by the Crime and Corruption Commission.

no idea where to find it but a chap in america took two litters of labs from known high hip displacia lines... divided each litter so half the siblings were raised typical ie good body score. the other half were raised lean body score and both groups kept as they were raised. the incidence of hip displacia in the typical group was the expected percentage the incidence of hip displacia in the lean group was well below half the expected percentage. then as they aged the differences became even more apparent... the typical group developed arthritis and the usual ageing and associated problems. the lean group did not develop arthritis at the same ages and did not develop the same problems until much older, the mean average being 4 years later and also lived 4 years and more longer than the mean average of their typical siblings... there was widespread comments in the press once his findings were released... but not sure where or how to find it as it was a few years ago now it was published long before that I had noticed the father of my horse died quite young suddenly from heart attack, he was a showhorse and always kept obese... I decided my boy was such a great companion I wanted him to live as long as possible and my vet even then 40 years ago was advocating lean was best... so he was always kept lean and in work. he lived to 28 as have most of my horses and more, my daughters pony was a welsh mountain and they run to fat so fast its scary so keeping her fit and on the lean side was a challange but she saw her 36th Birthday and was still active although on arthritis prevention for the last 4 years.. finally developed it in her knees and began to have difficulty getting back up without assistance and the fear became very great if she decided to have a nap when no one was home she could no longer get back up without help, which was fine during autumn and winter but the risk of being cast in the summer if we went out anywhere during the day with no one home became a constant worry, then my husband put his back out helping her back up and so did I.. until we began dreading when she decided to have a nap lying down and then to help her back up because we were breaking down too............the heartbreaking decision was made. Although when the vet came she was not her usual vet and wondered why she was being put down because she was so bright and active.... it was the act of getting back up unaided, that she had finally lost we had to explain to her..... tough enough to have to make the decision...even tougher when the vet thinks she is fine and have to explain appearances can be deceiving and we soo didn't want to lose her when she was so happy either.... my other pony is 34 and still very active and not a hint of arthritis, she is still being ridden and loves her outings. so it applies equally to horses as dogs.

ummm no win from any angle for this poor horse... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10155629269635216&set=gm.217846632424076&type=3&theater

Just in case you forgot which one I referred too....

let you in on a little secret.... your as OT obsessed as a food obsessed, resource guarding dog! (some people seem to acquire the worst habits of their pets instead of and/or along with the best?) FINE FOR you to go off topic and make a joke about Azaria reread your last obsessive, I did NOT in any way or form give either a hint or a mention of what you just ranted about, it's all in your little over-obsessed mind this time

unfortunately asthma is also inherited too, killed my grandfather and he had dogs, cats,chooks, parrots and Horses as a child and so did his kids..so I grew up in almost a zoo.... mine were brought up with all the above, goats sheep and cattle as well.... still developed asthma... perhaps not as bad maybe.. would have to wonder how bad it may have been without all the early exposure.....but sure didn't prevent it .. but asthma should never be taken lightly.... it can be dormant for a year or even years and wham....cant breathe and gone, if someone isn't handy with whats needed if your suddenly out to it. always carry your medication......

since bigD seems to have disappeared, talking about how our govt has handed the "care" of our native area's over to uni deg know nothing greenies if our local one is any instance, instead of indigenous people who actually do know how to keep the bush safe from the red steer, compared to past management practice is fair game. the mess the raaf base is in now is a disgrace... thanks to the wildfire all the parrot breeding trees were destroyed so four species breeding freely before are gone, all noted she didn't bother to apply for breeding boxes be introduced to replace what was lost. The previous management of the Frazer Island dingo's meant they were not starving like they are now and if the tourists are allowed to go there and they are part of the attractions, then you cant have it both ways. heard a greenie story decades ago, the one where there had been a demonstration in a forest and a greenie climbed a tree, at some stage getting back down acquired a number of splinters in an intimate area. Presenting at the local doctor to get them removed, to be told, "Sorry, It is against my principles, I cant remove native timber from a recreation area."

once or twice a year, max four, your sure drawing a long bow but hey....love how fast people make assumptions, few of them good. so being burned alive or mown down on the roads looking for feed because the half wit greenie, didn't do zilch about wildfires and you whinge about four sandwich crusts shared between 7 wallabies?

I hope this link works, the world was horrified when australia allowed the mass shootings of the Guy Fawkes brumbies. It was promised would never happen again. now they have just decimated the Singleton welsh brumbies from the air...... if you gut, rump, neck shot any animial from above you would be in court..... but no animal welfare is doing or saying anything let alone charging them with aggravated cruelty? we had 22,000 dog owners scream blue murder when our Minister for Agriculture tried to slip through changes to the POCTA in December 2017 which would if the minister had signed it... you couldn't have even given away a baby mouse without having "to hold at least a Certificate II in Animal Studies and Comply with ongoing training including those who assist in feeding/watering etc?" If he had sneaked his signature to the "amendment" none of them can be trusted..... Yet parliament closed without even discussing let alone approving this mass slaughter......it was done now during the break in parliament. The excuse was unexploded bombs made it too dangerous to muster or shoot them from the ground....yet the locals watched them drive in the trucks and drag out the bodies and no vehicle's blew up? next target are the snowy mountain brumbies , many of our kids at pony club have snowy mountain brumbies,. my vet has two snowy mountain brumbies, rescues from the mob they sent to the dogger sales... they make great kids mounts. I hope this link works... https://www.change.org/p/the-honourable-the-speaker-of-the-house-of-representatives-to-stop-the-brumby-cull-at-singleton-army-base-nsw?recruiter=16448581&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial.pacific_email_copy_en_us_3.control.pacific_email_copy_en_gb_4.v1.pacific_email_copy_en_us_5.v1.pacific_post_sap_share_gmail_abi.gmail_abi.lightning_2primary_share_options_more.variant&utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial.pacific_email_copy_en_gb_4.v1.pacific_email_copy_en_us_5.v1.pacific_email_copy_en_us_3.control.pacific_post_sap_share_gmail_abi.gmail_abi.lightning_2primary_share_options_more.variant&utm_content=mit-14056417-1%3Av2&fbclid=IwAR1xQBqJUtEgGympj7qO7ggbQrodKXYG7cb1dyd4X8oaE_SQKxUBmn4Lzw0

MISTY my 14 yr girl asked me to send everyone a Merry Christmas wish and dont comment on her fuller figure please :-) she is on a diet.

to keep my lot busy, I have either a ball hanging about a foot above the ground on a chain (discovered they like chewing on rope) or a figure of eight toy rope also on a chain... ditto hanging so it can swing in the wind.. that way they can tug at it to their hearts content... wrestle it from every angle of the compass and never bored replace as demolished.

SO TRUE. my standardbred Jody was feeling a little too fresh when mum was putting out the washing and decided to walk up to her, put his face against her chest and shoved her over...n mum weighed 18 stone so it was a heavy landing and she was NOT impressed despite the padding. so figured if he has that much energy he can have a run on the lunge line over the road in the park.... soo working up a nice sweat and the fiery eye was started to soften when over comes and outraged "I a member of the rspca, A horse only sweats when it it in pain, stop hurting him or I will call them immediately." so as any good citizen I handed her the lunge line and let her 'TAKE care of him". whereupon Jodie looked at the newcomer, walked straight to her, rested his head on her ample bousum and yep... PUSHED HER straight back onto her butt..... mea? I was busy picking grass to feed the poor suffering beast and no I did offer to help her get back up, Jody would only had knocked her clean over again anyway...as it was, he was thoroughly enjoying his new acquaintance, giving himself a lovely head massage olong her back and shoulders until she asked me could I "please take him back now, I think he is ok now!". she was still sitting there when she decided to hand me the lead back and we ambled back home... One of my all time favorite memories... only regret she didn't ask for a ride... he always dumps a newbie, stops dead and puts his head between his forlegs so they do the slippery dip ride to the ground and he stands there with his new foal between his forfeet looking soooooooo surprised and concerned....."ARE YOU ok ol chap? How on earth did that happen?" no mention of the quick pig-root to make sure you go over the point of no return as he sides to his sudden stop... so miss him, and people dont think horses can think, let alone have an awesome sense of humour

if you can see or feel the last three ribs my vet said your dog is correct weight... https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjw68n8krffAhUJfn0KHVa2CmQQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=%2Furl%3Fsa%3Di%26source%3Dimages%26cd%3D%26ved%3D%26url%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.dummies.com%2Fpets%2Fdogs%2Fhow-to-evaluate-your-dogs-weight%2F%26psig%3DAOvVaw2zDj1_L2CWGvjnf7upG5BE%26ust%3D1545695582879247&psig=AOvVaw2zDj1_L2CWGvjnf7upG5BE&ust=1545695582879247 one catch. if you can see three ribs, the rspca can take it.. they dont worry about optimum weight. have fun kids working how to keep your dog at what the vet said is best for your dogs longevity and yet out of the rspca's acquisition sights...

another solution is trap/catch and cull when its exceeded.....dont let them starve...... but hey that's and intelligent solution....one your cant accuse a pollie of is intelligance....follow the votes is all so many know or understand... Im beside a raaf base... thousands of acres.. but in the last drought the greenie in charge of the wildlife did nothing about the roo's starving,,, stripping everything until finally they dug out and culled themselves on the local roads.... tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars, damage done to cars, utes and trucks but hey the greenie didn't have to pay for it.... nice wage when you can get paid for doing nothing but wave your degree. the suffering of the roo's wasn't a concern though. my favourites were the Swamp Wallabies with their little striped faces and their golden dusted shoulders, butts and tails... so gentle and friendly.... they would wait until we finished lunch when we were mustering and quietly slip over to the sandwich crusts.... but that was before the Greenie decided no more cattle in there to keep the fire hazard down.... 18 months later black christmas dawned.....the fire load so massive ALL the trees crowned and the blaze went though like a steam train and through to St Marys where tens of millions of damage was done... all the local rfs could do was fight to save the homes near the base and pray for our little roo friends......we were lucky no one was killed but my husband stank from the acrid smoke and lost all his hair but luckily not his lungs.... hazard reduction would have meant none of the parrot trees would have been destroyed, the fire would not have been so totally out of control... gotta love greenies.....and where was she?..................no where in sight while the place burned out there are three species of roo's as well... now the drought has broken, grass and herbage everywhere but not a hopper in sight.. have to wonder how few survived. there was never more than a dozen of the swamp wallabies before the drought. so hope they haven't all been killed. But this summer is going to be a rfs's nightmare..... once this stuff dries out......

The dingo who took Azaria was a pet, it brought her home and left her on the doorstop. the horrified owner killed it and buried both....obviously not together. how do I know... my bil was the arid zone vet who was lumped with autopsying all the dingo's shot and knew what really happened. people tried to tell no one listened......but hey who listens to the locals who might actually know...how quickly everyone forgot the local tribeswomen tracked it from the tent..... only lost the tracks when they realised where it was heading, had only just been given ulauru back....nightmare all round, then a dipstick in Darwin decides he doesn't like the way Lindy dressed and it all went downhill even faster. the dingo's on Fraser Island need food, but nope,.................. the half witted govt buffoons wont even let the scraps from the tourist camps be put out at a feeding station well away, so the dingo's dont come begging for food.....another disaster already happened how many times???? starving dogs is a recipe for disaster, regardless of species, as has already happened on Fraser island.....The photos of the dingo's show they are so skinny the rspca would have taken them if they were your dog....that thin means there sure is not enough native food to be found.............. I heard, until they stopped the scrap's being put out no attacks, because they were not coming to the camps but hey aborigines n locals dont know zilch about dingo's you have to be a greenie with a uni degree or of course a politician who bought the seat anyway with donations to get elected. safe, wildlife management isn't on the agenda

Interesting article....n I was told by a then member of RSPCA NSW in 2000 the membership and AGM voting had been stacked and now controlled by peta. love the take on the "Niall Blair, saw through this and ordered the process to start again " only took a few, ie TWENTY TWO thousand members of dogs nsw to get it through to him he had been hoodwinked... before he changed his mind about signing off on it though, then promised to engage more knowledgeable advisers (ie practicing veterinarians) and assistance before blanketing all and sundry as would have been, if he had shoved it through. https://www.smh.com.au/national/we-should-be-promoting-pet-ownership-not-making-it-more-difficult-20180423-p4zb4v.html?fbclid=IwAR0RHdZ814M1dDj12gEM5S_mjuIk9nRRacHJqMF-ueqcBlIJviCN1CMhOaA THE BELOW LINK is in, the above story. but it came so close to becoming law, PETA must be utterly furious they failed, so close to success. https://www.smh.com.au/national/nsw/many-pet-owners-to-be-classified-as-pet-shops-under-proposals-20180406-p4z82d.html Meanwhile Victoria has the lovely peta hugger Jaala Pulford.... busy.doing her best to do their bidding. Kindly never forget this state has it law that you can serve ten years in jail for showing your dog if it was born in Victoria and debarked in another state if it belongs to a Victorian.... but any interstate owned or bred debarked dog can attend the same show????? This law has not been repealed either... a gotta love stupidity where ever we find it eh? did a little and I do mean a little, googling.... my goodness. https://www.markmaldridge.com/RSPCA-V-May.html?fbclid=IwAR3JSyV4XlOKY1Xc_VQO73x51QOBADav1oBP1LE336W2kA2OwGa91X7NOoA

think these headlines are england but would love to know the figures for Australia No stats exist even,or im not looking in the right places, not good press so they aren't easy to find.. my friend Nancy's friend walked from her home after her chihuahua's were taken, she had 9, all problem one's, so her breeder friends gave them to her, rather than re home them to pet homes, many so tiny hypoglycemia was an ever present problem. rspca decided she was a hoarder and took them all.... she never came back... a year later she was seen living on the streets of Sydney but fled when she realised she had been recognised... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2334136/SPECIAL-INVESTIGATION-Five-suicides-One-common-thread-They-fell-foul-RSPCA.html?fbclid=IwAR2NRblCednnmvikP025m_Sh3ZI2nvAnLP20rWRHjKNwXOpx9iPzzEXdVH8

I still remember the Victorian lady who rehomed one of her Lhasa Apso's Characteristics: Gay, assertive, but chary of strangers ... an Australian Champion.... so well used to being handled by strangers. its new owners took it to their local vet who was linked to the rspca...' the dog made the fatal mistake of adhering to its breed standard.... no problems in its new home or people.... let the vet know it didnt like the vet.... vet talked them into putting it down. A significant number of breeds are "suspicious of Strangers"....... many even note it in the standard.... so? better get cracking and breed that out. seems its OK to have a palette so long half needs to be cut out, nose to be cut so air can get in, so the dog can actually breathe as was seen this week for the french bulldog in Vet On The Hill... so he could play without needing to be carried home or risk suffocation? . lots needs to be changed but how fast that can happen is moot!

SADLY. I recall the lady who had all her cattledog's taken , Victoria I think it was, was also looking after a friends kelpie bitch and her puppies.... I'm pretty sure both the kelpie and all her puppers were not returned and were all desexed... so depend's on in which state? perhaps?

considering they know who the mum is, there is no way the pup is a dingo. the chances of the dad being anything but carrying part dingo is so low the question of the percentage is academic

someone came up with rather a brilliant idea the other night. DO not own your animal...... any of your animals.. Register it in someone else's name and look after it for them.... remember the only bull terriers that were returned belonged to people who did not live there, that had been left for matings............................... this is now our brave new world to negotiate best you can

I just saw Amanda Knox. amazing lady, she made me realise this is the new world we live in now..... how to manage to survive in this world is what so many need to learn.. me included. my crime I was accused of was so spiffing compared to the living nightmare she endured......... but strangely although never charged,.....never convicted........ even got the target, (my dog back) even 18 years later members of this forum still feel they can insinuate I probably deserved what happened........... There are going to be tens of thousands yearly need to learn how this system works.... http://www.amandaknox.com/the-scarlet-letter-reports/ So much to take in. one bit...... amanda knox In this episode of The Scarlet Letter Reports, I tell the story of how my own character was assassinated in the media when I was arrested and put on trial for a crime I didn’t commit. In 2007, I was just another twenty-year-old college student studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. One night, a local burglar named Rudy Guede broke into the apartment I shared with three other young women, and murdered the only one of us who was home at the time—Meredith Kercher. For the next eight years, Meredith’s murder made international headlines, but for all the worldwide attention the case received, few people have ever heard of Rudy Guede. That’s because the investigators, prosecutors, media, and public focused their attention, instead, on me. My boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, and I were hastily arrested. The prosecution and tabloid media cast me as a femme fatale, a sex-crazed she-devil who murdered my roommate in a drug- and/or jealousy-fueled rage during a sex game gone wrong. It didn’t matter that I had zero history of violence or mental illness or criminal behavior, and that exactly zero DNA evidence placed me at the scene of the crime. The prosecution and the tabloids had already created “Foxy Knoxy”—a figure onto which people could project their fears and fantasies, particularly those surrounding female sexuality, and that was enough to convict us. Raffaele and I survived four years in prison and eight years on trial. In March 2015, we were found innocent by the Italian Supreme Court. To this day, I combat harassment and attacks on my character on a regular basis. I get through it by thinking hard about the forces that lead to our dehumanization, how those forces affect other individuals in similar situations, and what we can do to stop our lives and our identities from being stolen from us.

WONDER what happened to the OP? hope the pup is ok
