Angry Dog Day Afternoon: AU Council Shoots Dogs to Prevent Rescue Groups from Saving Them

Rescue dogs shot dead by NSW council due to COVID-19 restrictions

By Angus Thompson
August 22, 2021 — 12.43pm


Several impounded dogs due to be rescued by a shelter have instead been shot dead by a rural council in NSW under its interpretation of COVID-19 restrictions, alarming animal activists and prompting a government probe.

Bourke Shire Council, in the state’s north-west, killed the dogs to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based animal shelter from travelling to pick up the animals last week, according to council’s watchdog, the Office of Local Government.

Not sure I see the problem. Killing animals is their job. Over 1.5 million animals are killed in this country per year by the SPCA. Are you mad about that too?

What pisses me off is them killing enough animals to fill a landfill but if I get caught doing it to my own rather than paying them to do it for me it's off to jail? Well, that might sound fine to some brainwashed "Animal Planet" couch potato but for someone who's been killing animals their whole life as a farmer or hunter it's nothing but a bad joke... And they'll never take me alive

I understand killing for food, defense or to put something out of its misery but because covid and dogs? Nope, my dogs are family and I tend to see them all that way.

Issue is the animals were going to be picked up and need not be killed regardless of the reasons behind it.
Real issue is people don't take care of thei animals nor take seriously having animals.
There has been a surge of abandoned animals now that kung flu restrictions have been lifted and govt money went away. People see having a pet like having shoes, throw away when don't want them anymore.

Sounds like they ignored Jeff and could've worn their masks and gotten the vax.... wait...it's Canadia. They already have mask mandates and stuff in place to prevent the Rona.

You bring up very real issues that can't be argued. Having said that, THESE particular dogs had somewhere to go. They had people who were willing to take responsibility for them. They weren't going to be a burden on the taxpayers. And they were killed anyway, seemingly just out of spite. That's wrong.

Yes, any farmer or hunter knows that animals need to be killed. We kill to eat, we also kill animals that predate our crops and livestock. We even have our own beloved pets put down when the time comes. We kill dogs and cats because pet owners in certain demographics don't have their pets fixed and there aren't enough people willing to take them all in. So, after all that killing, we come to a case like this, where those dogs did not need to be killed and were anyway. It was totally unnecessary, and that's why people are pissed about it.

You wouldn't kill animals for no good reason, right?

Only one side of the story was presented. Could be some bad history associated with this animal shelter we're not aware of. Authorities may have had other reasons but used covid as a convenient excuse because it works for everything else they do.

Nope, I don't kill without a reason. Not even bugs if they leave me alone

But, but, but... Jeff79 tells me I must adapt. You may think this is all OK Jeff79, but I'll never stop fighting against this kind of evil by Marxist. This is a prime example of why we keep trying to explain to you that the current direction toward Marxism will become more evil. History shows us that this is the result as the elite gain more power over people.

^^^ What is most disturbing is someone would carry out the order instead of sneaking the animals out.
