It makes me sad that we’ve turned animals advocates into cat killing apologists

November 14, 2012Comments are closed.cats, PetRescue, Secret Cat

Hi there, I read with disappointment your feature on “Aussie Working Cats”. While I appreciate that not all cats are suited to an indoor only lifestyle, I think it’s important to move away from the attitude that cats can be used as a method of “chemical free pest control”. Shelters and animal rescue groups advocate […]

The modern rescuer; part of something enormous…

June 2, 2010Comments are closed.cats, dogs, marketing, new media, No Kill, pet shops/puppy farming, PetRescue, shelter procedure

I’ve always considered PetRescue to be a very charmed project. My best mate JB is a technical genius and an all round nice guy. My shared-brain friend Vix and I both purchased wonky dogs at around the same time (hers from a pet shop, mine from a guy in a pub carpark) who would catapult […]

To PTS or kill?

December 16, 2008Comments are closed.No Kill, PetRescue, resistance

My response to a DOL thread where someone posed the question; With the term PTS (‘Put to sleep’) I think we actually inadvertently sanitise/minimise what actually happens to hundreds of thousands of perfectly healthy rehomable dogs in pounds around Australia each year. They aren’t ‘sleeping’. Wouldn’t it be more helpful and accurate in relation to […]
