The Paxton‘s have piles of shit raining down on them. Seems fitting given that’s what their dogs have been living in.
RSPCA swoops on puppy farm as public outrage builds
The RSPCA last night raided a puppy farm exposed in a damning council report amid public outrage over the suffering.
Geelong Advertiser readers yesterday demanded authorities put a stop to the “sickening” conditions at the Beremboke farm, north of Anakie.
Animal welfare inspectors swooped on Leslie and Melinda Paxton’s farm to ensure the welfare of animals.
The investigation follows a damning Moorabool Shire report, which alleged the Paxtons kept 59 dogs in shocking conditions on the property.
…….Photographic evidence taken by council rangers revealing the full extent of suffering was deemed too distressing to be shown to the public.
A council report said the kennels breached council policies for keeping dogs and failed the minimum standards for the Code of Practice for the Private Keeping of Dogs under the Planning and Environment Act.

The Paxton’s have, according to Council reports, been selling their puppies through the Melbourne Trading Post. If you are one of the people who have purchased one of these puppies and kept these guys in business, shame on you. There are literally thousands of website detailing how to avoid puppy farms and buy a healthy pup, but as you didn’t take the time to research where these pups were coming from, and now you are part of this.
There’s no law in the world that can stop mouthbreathers from setting up puppy factories. As the public who support their business we’ve got stop, knowingly or ignorantly, enabling their cruelty by buying their wares.
