I enquired as a buyer and notified the local police who came with me to see the seller. She was pretty shocked to learn she had bought a stolen puppy, the police caught the people who stole mine thanks to the lady who had advertised the puppy in gumtree, she identified the couple she bought her from, as she knew their gumtree name, and still advertising other things on gumtree and a friend rang and arranged to meet them, then the police moved in and arrested them, the police told me they were high on drugs when arrested, with both a knife and a gun in the car, that I was lucky they had stolen them when I wasn't home or may have hurt me if I had tried to stop them. Something else ,I would never have suspected either of them were professional thieves, the man had a rap sheet three inches thick. They seemed such a nice family, you really have no idea what a person is like. Well dressed, spoke nicely, nice car... really shakes your trust in people They didn't come as a result of an add either, said they had been referred by a friend who had one of my pups. So they use whatever leads they come across

THAT is why I hate the huge pressure on breeders to allow people to come and see your puppies and parents at their home... I had two stolen exactly the same way as that years ago. did get them back incredibly, one was found wandering beside a four lane highway , got the call soon as the lovely lady took her to her vets and her microchip got her back home, the other I spotted her advertised a month later on gumtree. but it was constant checking of the adds that found her, not the police. after that took to meeting people with the parents and the puppyies at the local McDonalds instead. Interestingly, received a visit that afternoon by the rspca, the person had reported they believed I was living in my car with the dogs and gave them my number plate, so the police kindly gave the rspca my address so they could come and inspect me. At least still laughing over that one so many years later. gotta love being a dog breeder, your dammed regardless , they want a puppy but you are regarded by a percentage as prostituting your fur child? no kidding, one lady said how could I breed my fur child and sell my grandchildren? Yet she still expected me to sell her a puppy? so hope those men in the video are caught

Ivy Bordeaux 9 October at 08:55 · These are the thieves that stole my 10 week old Dogue de Bordeaux yesterday. UPDATE.... Chipper was found and is doing wonderful so lucky to have their puppy back.

another interesting one too... They have done a marvellous job of micromanaging registered members of the ankc's. not much success with the invisible backyarders though. Suspect the plan is everyone will have to pay for the rspca approved logo like the chook farms. they are after the throughbreds now. Beware the RSPCA’s mischief making Rising Fast enjoyed his gallop in the 1954 Melbourne Cup so much he went for one around Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs. Picture: Mike Keating JACK THE INSIDER COLUMNIST @JacktheInsider 1:57PM OCTOBER 12, 2018 116 COMMENTS I want to let you into a little secret. There’s a big race on tomorrow. You might have heard a whisper or two earlier in the week about a race at Royal Randwick tomorrow, a weight-for-age event, featuring a host of Australia’s best sprinters (with one from the US and another from Japan) battling it out over six furlongs. The Everest is Australia’s richest racing event with combined prizemoney of $13 million. A gigantic presentation cheque will be handed to the connections of the winner featuring a six followed by six zeros with a couple of commas in the right places. READ NEXT Engine shuts down mid-flight ROBYN IRONSIDE Of course, we all know this because of the brouhaha over a brief display of the barrier draw projected onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House. A thousand or so angry folk assembled on the forecourt on Tuesday night, desperately attempting to outshine the projected images. As I quipped on Twitter, this all took place while yesterday’s eight-race card at Wyong went tragically unpromoted. It is probably true that the melee would not have had quite the impetus without Alan Jones’ intervention last week and his crude interview with the Opera House’s CEO, Louise Herron. Jones subsequently apologised. It is also true that a good number of the protesters assembled to demonstrate what they felt was a loss of public space or at least what they perceived to be a corruption of it. I understand the argument and have some sympathy for it but there is something darker at work. I watched the protest at close quarters and followed reactions on social media. I saw one tweet from a protestor in attendance declaring the throng had stuck it up Racing NSW (I am paraphrasing to avoid offending readers’ gentle sensibilities). Upon examination of his profile, I was unsurprised to find he appeared to be a hippy, a professional protestor, in need of a good scrub down with a big soapy brush. He was in fact part of a group at that protest who exploited public anger to further the call for a ban on thoroughbred racing. Back in August I wrote an article along these lines, attempting to identify the areas where the racing industry was losing the argument to animal rights’ groups. I used a figure, cited by the RSPCA, of 8500 horses going missing in any given year in recent times. After the article was published I received a number of calls from people within the industry, some angry, others calm and thoughtful. I took the time to examine the issue further and I have since learned it is nowhere near the figure cited by the RSCPA and studies undertaken by academics both within and outside the racing industry prove it. The wastage issue, while serious, is heavily overplayed by the RSPCA. The 8500-horse figure is utterly inaccurate and a piece of mischief. Industry studies examining foaling and horses that leave racing for one reason or another reveals a much lower figure. In reality, no more than a few hundred horses are found not to be rehomed. Regrettably, the RSPCA simply can’t be trusted on this issue or indeed in almost any statement it makes on the welfare of thoroughbred horses. It has become an advocate for the banning of the sport and even when it undertakes studies it cannot be relied upon to report on them rationally and fairly. My real failing in that article was to ignore my own experience over the shrieking of so-called experts. Racing is a part of my family’s history and folklore. I could tell many stories but one of my favourites relates to arguably one the greatest stayers ever to run in this country, Rising Fast. In 1954, the New Zealand gelding won Australia’s Triple Crown — the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup, a feat never achieved before or since. As a six-year-old, Rising Fast was handed to ‘Father’ Fred Hoysted for training. Fred was in his dotage at this stage, his sight failing. Rising Fast was tended to for the most part by his son, Bob. Years later Bob recalled that Rising Fast did not like being enclosed in the stables, preferring to gently graze in a paddock next door. This was all perfectly acceptable until Rising Fast decided to jump the fence and partake in a spot of tourism of the local area. I can only imagine the shock that that must have hit Bob when he discovered Rising Fast was missing. The story of Bob running down the back streets of Mentone in Melbourne’s south east, in a breathless but ultimately successful search for a horse that would in today’s money be worth at least $20 million, amuses me possibly more than it should. Rising Fast is given an apple by Thelma Williamson - wife of the horse's jockey, Bill Williamson in 1955. Picture pinted in The Advertiser on 1 Nov, 1955. Rising Fast returned to the paddock because that is what it wanted but Bob knew to keep a constant eye on it. I visited those same stables many years later and found it to be a menagerie of ducks, chickens, cats and dogs. Peering into the stables I was taken aback at the sight of an elderly pony, possibly in its thirties with teeth like a piano keyboard rendered by Salvador Dali. It was no Melbourne Cup fancy, put it that way. But there, just behind the pony, was Manikato, at that time the greatest sprinter in Australia and only the second horse after the sublime Kingston Town to win a million dollars in prizemoney. In that admirable way of animals, the pony was revered by all furred or feathered and especially by Manikato. The champion sprinter would fret in its absence, so much so that wherever Manikato went, Bob would bring the pony along for the ride. The pony became Manikato’s constant companion, the oddest of equine couples bouncing along in the float together. Fred, Bob and Bob’s brother Bon, who had been Manikato’s trainer until his premature death, were horse whisperers who trained their charges to the second. They understood horses and cared for them better than any jumped up official from the RSPCA could or does. The notion that industry people — owners, trainers, strappers, track riders and jockeys — could have their livelihoods roughly taken away at some point in future is real. As with the failed attempt to ban greyhound racing in NSW, it needs to be understood that a banning of horse racing would necessarily lead to the mass slaughter of animals. I am continually astonished to see people who I regard as otherwise rational and thoughtful espousing the line that horse racing should either be banned or regulated to within an inch of its life. But that is what the RSPCA wants and in its public mischief-making legitimises the ugly foot stompers who reside at the outer edges of animal rights activism. I worry that these people are slowly but surely winning the public over. The industry has changed since Rising Fast galloped around the streets of Mentone but what drove it then is the same force that drives it today. With almost all people in the industry that force is not just a proper regard for equine welfare but a love of horses. But don’t just take my word for it. Go to the races tomorrow and see for yourself. And have a little fun while you still can.

you wrote it so I presume your serious, so the women who beat up the paramedic and got off scott free have your backing? they certainly have no reason to modify their violet behaviour in future

not applicable to the thread apparently

so sad the time has passed so quickly for you both, sounds like she is going to thoroughly enjoy her presents though.

yes small dogs seem to often have small man syndrome and start the fight they cannot possibly come out of in one piece, but I often used to wonder do they do it because they feel afraid? so act like they want to fight to keep the other away but it often ends up going badly, if only they had stayed quiet. but then in people often just speaking gets the same response, agree or face attack. little room or tolerance for anyone that doesn't walk to the same drum in the human race too.

you wrote it so I presume your serious, so the women who beat up the paramedic and got off scott free have your backing? they certainly have no reason to modify their violet behaviour in future I gave it that title for the reason I found it interesting. At no time did I say I agreed with it. I have no idea what could be the best avenue to reduce the violence against others . but as usual you make decisions about me based on nothing but your opinion. as my mum used to warn me , "remember what you accuse someone of is more likely what you would do. you have no idea what they may be thinking" my friend posted this on fb I so agree with her

Yes the disasters that happen at leash free parks proves that point, over and over again. its rarely the big dog that dies as a result, well except when its two biggies that suddenly decide set into each other.

same problem with kids/then adults too, no training or responsibility for their actions anymore. what hope have our dogs when those women who beat up the paramedic n put him in hospital, doing his job got off scott free because they had a traumatic childhood. he now has a traumatic adulthood and been unable to work since. dogs like kids have so many different temperaments and need to be treated accordingly, no one size will ever fit all. but this constant assumption that a timid dog was mistreated is ignoring the fact that many were born that way, ive breed four different breeds over the last 50 years and the variation in temperament per litter is unmistakable, you socialise them according to those differences and many times end up with such little differences people would never realise what they were showing as babies when they first began to experience the big world out there. others stay that way despite your best efforts. but can still learn to pretend to be brave with encouragement and reward when they do try. as for the bully, if they never learn NO means NO. behaviour unacceptable its just as much your fault for the damage done to others by that dog. kids aren't set boundaries anymore either. otherwise we wouldn't be bombarded with all the knifing and bashing's and so on every nigh ,n morning for that matter, its not worth turning on the news, none of it is good. as for the bullying that goes on social media, apalling

Thieves dream the pressure put on a breeder to let people onto their property to case it. As for the right to judge a breeder by every Tom Dick and Harriet who haven't a clue other than what animal rights have said constitutes "ethical". Latest press release from that quarter is on about the champion racehorse who has decided won't leave the barrier anymore is he will be relentlessly bred to 900 mares a year! Impossible even for any stallion, let alone a gelding??? As those who worked in newspapers used to say "any resemblance to the truth is purely coincidental and the management will not be held responsible"

so true, killing off all the low resistant bacteria is just reducing the available gene pool of low resistance and creating the super bugs that are then complained about

pretty standard procedure for all factory farms be it chooks, pigs, cattle etc. as for us humans antibiotic resistance is well on truly a problem due to overused there too

yes I had a dog that his owner couldn't keep him, although in his case it was because he couldn't find a pet friendly rental. every time he came to visit, his dog cried for days after. so no, don't take them back home but stuff they remember from home should be nice for them

found this. my brother never had any problems with his but maybe he was lucky? although there is deafness problems in Dalmatians and some cattle dogs neither carry the Merle gene.

She is passionate about history, the natural world, and her three dogs. Contact Author Red Merle Australian Shepherd puppy | Source Introduction In certain breeds of dog there is a coat pattern known as 'merle'. It is sometimes referred to as a colour, but is in fact due to a gene that alters the way pigment appears in the dog's coat. The merle coat pattern is popular because it is unusual and very unique, with each merle dog having a different coat pattern. But there are health problems associated with the merle mutation and the risk of these problems occurring increases when two merle coated dogs are mated together. The resulting litter of puppies has a high chance of containing 'double merles' or 'lethal whites', dogs that have very little or no colour to their coat at all. Double merles are highly likely to suffer from eye or ear deformities (in some cases both) which at the most extreme can result in complete blindness and deafness. Needless to say, the deliberate breeding of double merles causes a lot of controversy in the canine world and certain official bodies (such as the Kennel Club in the UK) have clamped down on the practice, refusing to register dogs that are a result of merle to merle breeding. This article explores the world of double merle genetics, the breeds affected, the health issues and the wide range of debates currently ongoing concerning the breeding of double merles. Blue merle Shetland Sheepdog (sheltie). Commonly merle dogs will have at least one blue eye, but in this example, due to the tan markings on the face, both eyes are brown. | Source What Is a Merle? A dog with a merle coat is characterised by having patches of hair with diluted pigment (colour). Though a variety of merle colours are referred to by breeders and dog owners, the two most commonly seen types of merle are blue merles and red merles. Blue merles are, in fact, grey. They appear like a tri-colour dog (black, white and tan), but with patches of the black appearing 'faded' or grey. Similarly a red merle will have faded patches of red and will often look more mottled than the blue merle. While all of the breeds with the merle coat pattern produce blue merles, only certain breeds produce red merles. The strength of the other colours in the dog's coat (tan and black, or red and tan) can vary as well, with some merles appearing to have extremely pale colouring all over, while others can have quite strong patches of colour. Blue merles with no tan markings at all are known as bi-blues, but a red merle does not necessarily have to have tan markings. Merles commonly have blue eyes. Sometimes they have one blue and one brown eye. They can also, on occasion, have two brown eyes. Sometimes dogs may appear to have normal coat colouring but are in fact merles and will produce puppies with the merle colouration. These are known as 'cryptic merles', but the exact reason why such dogs do not display the merle pattern remains unknown. The merle gene is usually dominant, so a merle dog will have inherited the gene from one of its parents. While a non-merle dog (unless a cryptic) will have inherited no merle gene. In the diagrams and examples that follow (M) refers to the merle gene, while (m) refers to a non-merle gene. For example, in a litter of mixed colour puppies the non-merles will be (mm), while a merle will be (Mm), meaning it has inherited one merle gene and one non-merle gene. This is deemed the 'safe' or responsible way of producing merle puppies. A mixed litter of puppies with non-merles (mm) and merles (Mm) | Source Health Problems Associated With the Merle Gene There is scientific evidence to suggest that the merle gene may be linked to a higher rate of ocular (eye) or auditory (ear) problems. A 2006 paper on the merle gene first published by the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America attempted to identify the gene in dogs that caused the merle pattern. Among their findings they recorded research on deafness in Dachshunds with the merle gene. One study reported 36.8% of Dachshunds with the merle coat pattern (Mm) suffered hearing problems ranging from mild to complete deafness. While none of the control group of non-merles (mm) had any hearing issues. [Audiometric findings in dachshunds (merle gene carriers)]. Another study [Light microscopy studies of the cornea of Merle dachshunds] found that merles had a "significantly greater" frequency of eye abnormalities than non-merles. Other studies cited by the article found that the merle gene was associated with skeletal, cardiac and reproductive abnormalities, but there is far less conclusive evidence for this. The same study found that in Shetland Sheepdogs a mutation of the pigmentation gene known as Silver (or Silv) is probably responsible for the merle pattern. The exact function of Silv and how it affects pigment is unknown and remains controversial. Small studies of other breeds that can have the merle pattern found that they all had the mutated Silv gene. Another study published in the Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2009 set out to discover if there was a link between increased deafness and the Silv gene. The study examined 153 merle dogs, and found that over 8% of the study group had some form of deafness. The study concluded that merle dogs had a higher risk of deafness compared to many dog breeds, but not compared to dalmatians and white bull terriers (which have high rates of deafness thought to be linked to their white pigmentation). Limited research has been done into the links between the merle gene and eye problems, though a great deal of anecdotal evidence is presented on the subject. There may be a link between pale coloured eyes and eye problems, but so far the scientific research to back this claim has not emerged in the public domain.

A well marked Merle is a glorious dog. BUT its breathtakingly hard to get. my brother bred Shetland sheepdogs and Merle was his favourite of the colours but its far far easier to get a great sable or black and tan than a well marked Merle. There are no health problems with a single gene Merle. but as others have said they should never be bred merle to merle due to the tragic results to any double Merle puppies... the gene that gives the Mexican hairless is also a lethal in double dose. although in that case the puppies do not survive so its self limiting in that respect. spotted this, interesting read even if its not discussing Merle, it is discussing in this case a lethal that is actually selected for "Hairlessness There are four hairless breeds of dog - the Mexican Hairless (Xoloitzcuintle), Peruvian Inca Orchid, American Hairless Terrier and Chinese Crested Dog. The Xolo, Inca Orchid and Chinese Crested all have dominant hairlessness, so they only need one copy of the gene to be hairless. In fact, all hairless dogs of these breeds are heterozygous for hairlessness, because it is one of the only known examples in dogs of an embryonic lethal gene. This means that a homozygous dog (one with two copies of the hairless gene) will be re-absorbed into the womb. Because all hairless dogs of these breeds are heterozygous, breeding a hairless dog to a hairless dog will result in some puppies which miscarry (the doubles), some which are normal hairless dogs (the singles), and some which are not hairless at all. Remember our Punnet squares for the merle gene? Mm x Mm results in one MM (double merle), two Mm (normal merles), and one mm (non-merle). This is the same for hairless dogs. The coated dogs which appear in hairless litters are often not allowed to be shown. The exception is the coated Chinese Crested, which is known as the "powderpuff" variety, and is accepted by kennel clubs. The American Hairless Terrier is very unusual indeed, because it shows the only known example of recessive hairlessness in dogs. Recessive hairlessness does just what it says on the tin - a dog must have two copies of the gene in order to express it. It is not a lethal gene, unlike dominant hairlessness, and because all hairless AHTs are homozygous, coated puppies will never appear when a hairless dog is bred to another hairless dog. Despite the gene being recessive, currently coated dogs do still exist in the AHT breed. As the breed is fairly new, outcrosses are done to Rat Terriers to improve the gene pool. The coated puppies from these breedings (which would all be hairless carriers) can then be bred back to hairless dogs to produce 50% hairless puppies. American Hairless Terriers are also all born with fur - however the hairs on a genetically hairless puppy fall out within a few months. This is because one of the alleles responsible for producing them is faulty, so the hairs are not formed properly. Most recessive alleles such as this are technically faulty, which is how they work as recessive - when the dog has only one copy of the faulty allele then it can use the healthy copy to produce the usual protein/phenotype (as it still has the correct information to do this), however when both copies of the allele are faulty then there is no healthy copy to fall back on, so the protein in question cannot be produced, or is not correctly produced, resulting in the recessive phenotype. A recessive hairless dog cannot produce the correct proteins for healthy fur, a recessive dilute dog cannot produce the correct proteins for black hair, and so on. This does not necessarily mean that there is anything "wrong" with the dog, as most of the locii discussed on this site affect only coat colour/type and not health or temperament. Of course, recessive genes on other locii do often cause health problems. You don't want a faulty recessive gene in the locii controlling blood cell production, for example! However, both types of hairlessness do come with some associated health problems (not necessarily genetic). These are mainly skin conditions and allergies, and obviously, dogs with no hair are highly likely to get sunburn and skin cancer unless they are protected from the sun. Dominant hairlessness can also cause tooth problems (usually less molars than normal).

maintenance wise you must, MUST keep your shih tzu pure or cross well groomed , ears cleaned n teeth checked regularly . cavaliers are much easier to maintain coat wise BUT you have to make sure their ears are cleaned regulary as well, or they too get thrush. neither breeds or x's have good dentition so make sure you get them checked regularly for tarter buildup both breeds are notorious for hernia's, so check for that too , most need surgery to close them

with the result when they are crossed no guarantee the puppies will not have all the faults of both breeds. friend bought two samoyed x german shepherd puppies and her sister bought one too from the same litter. beautiful looking puppies .. by 14 months all three had severe hip displacia...didnt look like hybrid vigour was much help there. Looks like its also fine to "design" the name to the pup. saw a puppy on its way to someone via Jet Pets, one of mine was on her way to victoria. in the carrier beside her was the cutest blue and tan long coat, flop eared, chihuahua... considering Ive bred them since 1979 as well as helped Nancy Gate and Betty Stepkovitch with theirs fostering litters at times. think I ought to know what im looking at by now... let you into a little secret, chihuahua's can be darned big, not just all littlies. this chub was most certainly going to be a big chi, guesstamate about 8 kg. yes they can grow that big, knew a chap who paid mega for a "teacup" pup who grew that big. and he was still growing the last time I saw him..no was not from a registered breeder and I suspected when he showed me his pup, it would have been lucky to have been 5 weeks old when they let him take him home. so was admiring it, was a very pretty pup. to be told its a Cavalier x Pom??????????????????? This photo is from the internet not the actual puppy, but conformation of the head, eyes, ears and markings the same as this pup but fluffier coat n ears . coats vary considerably in chihuahuas, had pups that had to be registered as smooth coat with very heavy coat but no feathers on legs and tail. others so short you could see their skin through the coat. long coats with the feathers and feathered tail but body coat shorter than some of my "smooth coats" Had puppies with the same coat and ears as the papillion (not surprising since the original chihuahua was smooth coat, they were crossed with Papillion and Pomeranian so coats can be either and everything in between when you get the occasional throwback. bought my first in 1978 and 30 years later got the most amazing gold and white parti pom pup in a litter? his sister, lovely chi head, ten to two ears, glorious body and legs, great coat and leg and tail feather, became an Australian champion chihuahua. but not even my vet could believe he was her full brother from same litter. perfect pom head, ears, coat and conformation? Interesting breed the chihuahua. how many have ever seen a blue and tan cavalier? ditto for a blue Pom in australia?

Honey's expected behaviour was snooze 90 percent of the day, wake up n go outside to toilet, then hoon around the yard at speeds that defied belief, didn't even slow doing turns, scared the daylights out of me first time I saw it, the ease she could have snapped a leg was obvious if a leg hit an object, clothesline post, trampoline leg etc, she never did, but the danger was there. Never lasted long, minutes only, they sure are sprinters only. Then back onto her lounge n resume her regal pose n snooze time again I have only seen ones like her, not the ones you describe, although could easily see how the ones trained in the videos realeased would be that way

Unbelievable, I've found lost greyhounds n the most cool calm collected breed on the doggy spectrum. Want see HIGH prey drive go watch a jack Russell n foxiin action, the Greyhound is asleep majority of the day n not looking for a hunt, as for a significant number I've met, don't even chase cats, in honey's case actually afraid of them. Her breeder trains his to chase their toys. She wasn't even chasing the lure in her race's she was flying to her reward, her toy her owner was waiting in the catch pen in his hand. One race the lure broke down and the owners of the two dogs that stopped with it wanted it declared a no race, but it wasn't because all the rest of the field ignored it and flew to the finish and catch pen for their reward. Honey won all five of her race's before retiring. I bred cavaliers at the time and every one who came to buy or view a cavaliers left so impressed by honey had decided their next pet would be a Greyhound She was bred and trained by my daughter in law's Brother

just spotted this exchange on faceplant? Legion DX SydneyLike Page 18 August at 08:26 · Following the release of our RSPCAFail video earlier this week, Legion DX Sydneymembers and supporters will be staging a protest today at the RSPCA Sydney site. Our aim is to be a presence for ALL the animals failed by the RSPCA including the recent Lakesland Hens from our attempted open rescue with NSW Hen Rescue. We hope that by demonstrating a show of solidarity with the animals and confronting the public and any people attending the shelter with the reality of the Rspca, that animal rights will be pushed into the public consciousness and thereby influence social change. Veganism is the new moral baseline and if you're the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals you should be advocating a vegan lifestyle not mandating slaughter. It's time for the RSPCA to stand down as an animal welfare organisation and to demand an independent commission for animal rights to be on the agenda. Via The Animal Project: The RSPCA NSW failed the Lakesland hens, and how many others? Especially through their "RSPCA approved farming scheme" which offers minimalist and vague "welfare" standards. Maybe it seems counterintuitive to you? Animal rights organisations protesting a purported "Animal Welfare" organisation. Don't you have bigger battles to face? The answer is no. No we don't. Because when the enforcement of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act is entrusted to a group who promotes "humane" slaughter at a fraction of an animals life, "humane" forced impregnation and "humane" abduction of babies ... We have a huge issue. Because when the enforcement of a CRIMINAL act, enacted to offer PROTECTION to animals, is entrusted to a "charity" with clear conflicts of interest - through their approved farming schemes through which they gain MASSIVE FINANCIAL BENEFIT ... We have a huge issue. Because when the enforcement of this act is entrusted to an organisation who, according to their annual reports, pursue only 0.06% of cruelty complaints ... We have a HUGE ISSUE. RSPCA, you have blood on your hands and treachery in your hearts, and we are telling EVERYONE. ------ Stand with us today and if you're unable to make the event Share the video below, stay tuned for our LIVE streams and let's show the RSPCA that we will continue to hold them accountable for their failure.
