16 dogs rescued with more to come in Melbourne

[wonder]

From the Second Chance Animal Rescue site (also includes link to the 7News broadcast on the topic):

 

BREAKING NEWS- 16 extremely lucky dogs have just been rescued from a horrendous situation with more to come in the next 24 hours....

As this cruelty case is currently under investigation with the authorities we are not able to communicate the details or conditions these dogs were rescued from, however if you knew the details it would be enough to make even the strongest person cringe. These dogs have never known kindness or what it is to be cared for and loved by a human... but that is all about to change for these lucky munchkins.

The main thing is that these innocent souls are now safe with us and each and every one of them will be treated with kindness and respect from now on.

Out of the 16 dogs collected so far there are at least 4 pregnant females confirmed, one dog with severe eye problems, 3 are severely matted, some have lumps and bumps that need investigating and most will require training and behavioural work. Not to mention all the standard veterinary care they will all require (desexing, vaccinations, microchips and worm/flea prevention). And there are 15+ more dogs still to come shortly!

Heartbreaking that this is just so common and people still support puppy farmers.

Vic government seems so intent on stamping out the breeders it can find - which are the ethical law abiding ones instead of clamping down on puppy SALES which would quickly identify the major culprits.

What the puppy farmers do to these poor dogs and bitches is obscene.
