Pet shops: we’ll pay welfare to clean up our fails

January 28, 2014Comments are closed.pet shops/puppy farming, RSPCA

  Bandit was a young pup sold by a pet shop. His new owners hadn’t checked whether their landlord allowed pets and less than three months later Bandit became homeless, surrendered to the RSPCA. This sounds exactly like a case study of failed placement which animal advocates use to justify abhorring retail pet shop sales, yes?

RSPCA ACT confirms ‘cat laws’ probably not doing much

January 25, 2014Comments are closed.cats, RSPCA

  The ACT RSPCA has long claimed that their cats laws are a ‘success’ wanting them introduced across the ACT, despite ten years of them making very little difference to the number of cat and kitten intakes and their overall stats remaining pretty much static. It seems there is a ‘sweet spot’ between 2,000 and […]

The Braveheart update we’d all been waiting on

January 11, 2014Comments are closed.RSPCA

  Back in July I wrote a post on a mistreated dog, dubbed Braveheart. Braveheart was collected by police and passed on to local rescue group SAFE Broome in the middle of June. He was so underweight and neglected, he was almost unrecognisable as the mastiff that he should be. Understandably, the RSPCA WA was […]

RSPCA WA’s big new cat pound

November 1, 2013Comments are closed.RSPCA, WA Cat Laws

  It’s funny how information is presented to the public. I’d assume reading this notification today (1st November – and the first day of the WA Cat Act) that it meant that the RSPCA WA was stepping away from cat impoundment – leaving it up to local councils. You know, because they’re in the animal […]

It’s no coincidence…

October 20, 2013Comments are closed.cats, RSPCA

Image: Stella It’s no coincidence that every time the RSPCA condemn cats across the major media… RSPCA President Lynne Bradshaw says the community needs to consider the harm cats can wreak on native wildlife. (WA, October 16th) There is an almost instant response of cat abuse… “Stella, an 18-month-old cat had her leg amputated after […]

The RSPCA again betrays bull breed dogs

August 28, 2013Comments are closed.dogs, RSPCA

The Tasmanian RSPCA is the latest of the state branches to let down the bull breed community, coming out in full support of the state’s new laws which will see anyone in charge of a dangerous or restricted breed dog that kills or causes grievous bodily harm with up to 21 years’ jail. “If a […]
