After an enormous hoo-ha, including an “unprecedented” number of comments on the Brisbane City Council Facebook page and multiple articles in major newspapers – not to mention a staggering fight from his owner and animal advocacy groups – the little red dog, Zeus, is free after 203 days impoundment at the Lost Dogs Home.
However, Brisbane City Council didn’t relinquish Zeus without before using a series of asinine stalling techniques to jack around the people trying to move this innocent dog to a BSL-free state. While the Lost Dogs Home revealed what an utterly heartless abomination they are, by charging the owner the full impound fee of more than $5,000 to collect her dog, who had done absolutely nothing wrong.
Eat crow every Brisbane bureaucrat involved in this murderous circus.
Zeus’ story made it all the way to the UK. How embarrassing to have an ‘animal welfare’ organisation, The Lost Dogs Home, being paraded on the world stage as being supporters of unscientific, absurd and murderous BSL laws.
Nice work The Lost Dogs’ Home – your disgrace is now international!
I’m sorry we put you through this Zeus. I’m glad you’ve escaped with your life, but I’m sorry that you’ve had to live through this trauma, and that you cannot return and live out your days in peace with your family. We will look back on these dark days with contempt, and you will be remembered as a beacon of hope and goodness in a climate of ignorance. Your story has made a difference.
Good luck Zeus.
