Hi Nicky

I'm afraid not. I plan to seek advice tomorrow over the legalities of the Emanuel case. I have an "inducement" plan - not hopeful but worth a try.

Of course the regime in WA is in a mess at the moment with the huge gas explosion restricting industry's progress. Worse, they are hellbent on increasing WA's population, so there's sure to be an increase in livestock.

Of course politicians are under pressure at the moment on more pressing matters where:

the opposition is busy sniffing chairs and crusty old Ministers are seeking out participants to engage in some jolly "threesomes."

One can seek free advice from the Environmental Defenders Office, however, as the name implies, they generally offer advice on biodiversity and the impacts from "non" native species. That's a joke eh, particularly when the trogs are grooming and promoting an increase in feral animals for export - goats, camels etc. God Nicky, lock your dogs up. They'll be next!

EDO's major funding is sourced from McGinty's department.

3321. Mr M.J. Birney to the Attorney General
I refer to the recent case heard by Magistrate Catherine Crawford involving allegations of animal cruelty by Emanuel Export Pty Ltd, and I ask :

(a) what were the allegations made about Emanuel Export Pty Ltd;

(b) what was the finding made by Magistrate Crawford;

(c) is it true that the magistrate found the defendants guilty but imposed no penalty; and

(i) if so, why not;

(d) was there a technical issue regarding this case that involves some kind of conflict between State and Commonwealth law and, if so, what was that conflict

Contd......

(g) was an appeal lodged;

(h) was the appeal subsequently heard or withdrawn and, if so, why and on whose instructions;

(i) did the Minister for Local Government give any instructions regarding the appeal and, if so, under which section of which Act was this done;

(j) did the Minister for Local Government make any recommendation to withdraw the appeal and, if so, what were the reasons for this recommendation;

(k) if the answer to (i) or (j) is yes, did the Director General for the Department of Local Government agree with any instruction given or recommendation made by the Minister for Local Government with respect to this appeal and, if not, why not; and

Mr J.A. McGINTY replied:
The Department of Local Government and Regional Development prosecuted Emanuel Exports Pty Ltd and others over a breach of the Animal Welfare Act in November 2003.

Questions should be referred to the relevant Minister.

Slimy toad!

*I've been very busy commenting on international animal welfare threads and alerting citizens overseas to the atrocities inflicted on Australian livestock.*

Hehe, what a frigging fruitcake! First she goes out of her way
to give Australia a bad name overseas, with her claims. Next
she'll complain on some other thread, that Australia is getting
a bad name overseas!

More like time for the mental institution for this fanatical old duck :)

Hi all

Dickie, thanks so much for that information. Being on the other side of the country in NSW, it's very useful. Yabby, what you people fail to realize is that there are hundreds - no, thousands of people like Dickie and me, telling the world what goes on in the Australian livestock industries, and everyone who reads what we say gets a little bit wiser. That's how consumer boycotts happen.

I think it would be quite an easy matter to develop a formal submission to the OIE detailing the abuse of animals in Middle Eastern countries which are signatories to its protocols, and think about the damage that could do you people if enough of us were to do it. You can run but you can't hide.

Have you tried tailing and castrating your dogs as you do your lambs? There must be a reason why it is illegal to do it to dogs (it is brutal). It's just that you people are dealing with a corrupt and compliant RSPCA and none of you gives a toss about the suffering you inflict upon farm animals every day.

Let us know when you're going to do it to your dogs and we'll see if we can get an animal welfare inspector there for the occasion.

Nicky

Of course Nicky, the RSPCA must be corrupt, the Govt must be
corrupt, the vets must be corrupt, only a bunch of vegan
fanatics would supply unbiased and objective imformation :)

Take your hands off it Nicky!
