    RSPCA VICTORIA have been a strong voice against these laws and lobbied hard with the Australian Vet association for them not to be introduced. You could have encouraged people who read your blog to be a voice against these horrible laws but instead you again choose to bash the RSPCA with old selectively edited quotes. You could have posted many comments where they spoke out against these laws but it is clear why you choose not to do that. The state government hates the RSPCA for speaking out against these and other laws guess why the Minister was at LDH yesterday.

    Yesterday the entire site at RSPCA Burwood needed to be evacuated due to a bomb threat putting the lives of animals being operated on at risk. If you want to continue to incite hatred with your campaign to discredit the RSPCA please remember the harm you are doing.

      I’ve been blogging for coming up five years and have written on the badness of BSL on no less than 50 separate occasions. Regular readers of this blog know exactly how to be a voice against BSL.

      The number of times “BSL” is mentioned on the RSPCA Vic website? Zero.

      So if the RSPCA Victoria are being a ‘strong voice against these laws’ – they’re doing so in a remarkably quiet-barely-able-to-be-seen manner.

      Not one of these quotes are ‘old’. Each one is the position taken by the RSPCA Victoria in the media after a dog incident – in the last five years. One of them was from last month. So if the RSPCA Victoria are being a ‘strong voice against these laws’ – they’re doing so in a dare-double-dare-reverse-psychology fashion. By bagging out the breeds they’re apparently ‘strongly’ lobbying for.

      Or it may simply be your definition of being a ‘strong voice against these laws’ is different to mine. Mine includes actually putting a position out there and lobbying for it – not simply remaining mum and hoping no one asks. Or worse – throwing fuel on the BSL fire.

      I’m not even going to justify your bomb comment with a response.

    Thank you thank you thank you, for wording so very well what I have been wanting to scream from the rooftops for the past few weeks, months, even years. You have a way with words, that get the point so easily and clearly across. The RSPCA and their stance on BSL and bully breeds in general has long been a hot topic – and more so the past few days with their refusal to support Jade & Kerser in any way. Turn a blind eye, sweep in under the carpet and let someone else deal with it – the great RSPCA motto.

    In the opening statement is says that Kerser, due to BSL cannot be registered in Victoria, so rather than kill someones beloved family member, why don’t you give them the opportunity to either move interstate with their beloved family member or at least rehome him interstate!!!!(not that they should have to move) BSL is wrong!!!
