Does anyone know if any persons have yet been charged over the raids on 4 properties in the Brisbane area where 56 dogs were found and several items used in the training of fighting dogs.

Almost 3 months have now past and one wouild think that persons would be charged with offences by now. At least the property owners would have some explaining to do.

As dog fighting is rare in Australia but common in some other countries, one wonders if some persons of our diverse multicultural immigration program are involved.

If no one knows, try the RSPCA they should be right on top of something like that.

Pretty barbaric. Vietnamese tried cockfighting in SA a few years ago.

Not sure it is related but saw a six month old terrier was used as bait in training dogs to fight, here at least those who have been caught are WASP hillbilly types should all serve about five years first offense

Belly,

How do you know that there were no Celtic Catholics among them?

Phillip s,
I emailed the RSPCA and the reply was 'As the matter is before the courts we cannot comment and will issue statement after it is concluded'

Other people before the courts have their names published, why not these? I take it one or more have been charged but the who, what, where and why remains a mystery.

ttbn,
cock fighting charges used to be an annual thing in the news, especially round Brisbane, but have not seen an article for a few years now. Perhaps they eliminated it or, more likely, the press do no longer consider it news.

Belly,

Why are you accusing Protestants and not Catholics?

Banjo

"Perhaps they eliminated it or, more likely, the press do no longer consider it news".

Or, perhaps the press is keeping it quiet because multicultis are the ones involved.

How about, along with the English test, barbarians wanting to come here are tested against local 'gladiators' (bikie gangs could do the job) in the arena, with the audience giving the thumbs up or down? Those who survived could reflect on how the dogs and chooks felt.

ismise was not aware the dogs are Christian bloke, thanks for highlighting this, like most country folk my dogs are my mates and like good dog owners those using them like this are filth

Belly,

"ismise was not aware the dogs are Christian bloke, thanks for highlighting this, like most country folk my dogs are my mates and like good dog owners those using them like this are filth"

If you were not aware that Christians were involved then why did you mention Protestants?

Belly,

Not only that but your post was racist.

Belly,

Where are you?

No comments?

Still no comments, Belly?

So I'll take the charitable option and assume that you didn't know that about which you talked.

Is Mise I came here for intellectual stimulation,, unlike yourself young man,,, you are a very young man are you not? who so obviously have forgotten only the letter T separates a Wit from a Twit

Belly,

I'm 84 years young and all that I was wondering about was why you singled out white, Anglo-Saxon Protestants and not others, so as you seemed unable to comprehend, I assumed that you didn't know that of which you talked and that the use of "WASP" was due to ignorance.

Mate it may well be your age but in the post you highlighted this 72 year old had no intent to be racist, hope my mind lives on with me lets be honest gee you surely know your post looked to be a joke, fact is this I love dogs, own two or they own me, no matter the race religion or anything else deeply despise the kind who buy a big breed dog neglect them, or yes fight them, no dog no breed starts out bad, owners however do, lets ease up on the childish stuff bloke take to me, but base it on substance not plain silly stuff, my regards

Belly,

I love dogs meself, but that doesn't alter the fact that "WASP" stands for "White Anglo-Saxon Protestant" and there was no need for its use.

Bloke sorry your comment in my view is a joke the word is descriptive and such charges are PC rubbish, you can do better than that! look at my posts sure you will find something of substance to throw at me, enjoy your day

OK, Belly, I see that you didn't know what WASP meant; it pays to not use expressions, acronyms etc., of which you don't know the meaning.

Dear Is Mise,

Belly didn't just use the word WASP alone. His phrase was “WASP hillbilly types”.

So it is a reasonable question to ask, are hillbillies predominately WASP? I suspect the answer is yes but am open to having that stereotype challenged with evidence if you have it.

If on the other hand you concede the point then I feel you may be treating Belly a little unfairly and I would ask you to dismount from your elevated equine.

Steele,

What exactly do you mean by an "elevated equine"?

If you are referring to the horse's height then you could say so but elevated does not fit the bill in that case.

WASP also means 'Women Air Force Pilots' (USA) who ferried war planes in WWII.

Them thare hills around here ismise are inhabited sometimes by refugees, refugees from work, water, bathing, reality but not lifted one up to see what religion they are, some inbreeding has taken place with the long sleeved cotton shirt ute driving tribe, and from to to time the medication vegetation is consumed with some very rough home brewed red so they say wine,at such celebrations of diversity some bring our the vegetation guards/dogs to fight,at such time this far from politically correct old bloke has difficulty seeing what side of the fence the animals are on! THERE! sure you can find something to be offended by there

Dear Is Mise,

Just for clarity don't you think elevated equine is far more accurate than high horse?

Was the horse affected by drugs? Heroin is often referred to as horse;

http://tuesdayshorse.wordpress.com/2010/12/10/why-heroin-is-called-horse/

As equine is far more specific my use of it should be applauded I would have thought. Also elevated rather than 'high' certainly is more targeted and less ambiguous although I will admit 'tall' would have been even more succinct.

However you seemed to have ignored my point, that hillbillies are predominately white anglo-saxon protestants. Or do you have other thoughts.

WASP, White Anglo Saxon Protestant, unlike you is mise who is in fact just a protester about anythin

Belly,

OK, so you asked them their religion, glad to know that the Catholics, Non-Conformists and Atheists were not involved.

I'm comforted; also in India, still a bit Jet Forwarded.

//OK, so you asked them their religion//

As it turns out, there's no need. Once again wikipedia has the answer: yes, hillbillies are predominantly Protestant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hillbilly#Etymology_and_history

Toni,

"..yes, hillbillies are predominantly Protestant."

but not exclusively.

Belly's "hillbillies" seem more like hippies than hillbillies.

Dear Is Mise,

A Benn Hamilton was convicted earlier this year on dog fighting charges in SA. Hamilton is a Scottish name and Scotland is hardly a Catholic stronghold.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-04-17/dog-fighting-man-benn-christopher-hamilton-jailed/9667214

He is unlikely to be a recent migrant of the type you were trying to pin this disgusting practice on.

I would wager that the Queensland group are probably of similar linage. Therefore I think until we know more WASP hillbillies is probably an apt description at this stage and your attempted 'dog whistle' politics has well and truely run out of puff.

//Belly's "hillbillies" seem more like hippies than hillbillies.//

Hippies running dog-fighting rings? That doesn't sound like any hippies I've ever met. Watching two dogs try to kill each other doesn't seem very mellow, man. That sort of thing that would harsh a hippy's vibe.

I'm not sure if we're quite on the same page when it comes to what makes a hippy. I tend to think of these guys:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBO_x01Zze4

As you can see, far too busy smoking pot and smelling bad at music festivals to worry about training fighting dogs.

Now, your hillbillies on the other hand... well, they're simple rural folk given to simple rural pleasures like inbreeding, alcohol abuse, wife-beating, bestiality, animal cruelty, and these days (and perhaps worst of all), WWF wrestling.

Far more likely to be the sort of people running dog-fighting rings than hippies, wouldn't you think?

Steele,

The Catholic population of Scotland is 16% around half the Church of Scotland figure, so not insignificant being the second largest Christian group in Scotland, my own Campbell and MacDonald migrant ancestors were Catholics (early 1800s) whereas my other Scots ones were solid Presbyterians..

Hillbilly has many connotations and the term 'Redneck" is also applied to Catholics, especially in the north of England.

WASP, hillbilly and redneck are all derogatory terms an' po' ole Berry rilly did'n mean to be nasty, now did he?

//WASP, hillbilly and redneck are all derogatory terms//

Well, yes. Dog-fighting is a barbaric practice. It's OK to be derogatory about people like that, Is Mise.

After all, it's not like you never make derogatory remarks. Is there any special reason we shouldn't be rude about hillbillies? It's not like they'd be able to read these comments anyway. Hillbillies don't got no time for none of that fancy book learnin', not when there's incest to be done.

Is Mise we need you! you have qualities that can break our drought , building mountains out of very small mole hills, set you down in the out back you could build the great inland dividing range changing forever our climate, some of us waste time thinking about what would be a good subject to talk about, you however seem to trawl these pages trying to be offended about? invisible never existed wrongs, cheer up

Belly,

How about tunnels through the Range and contour following canals?

Piece of cake with today's technology!

Ref. Hillbillies; they ain't all stupid.

Two hillbillies walked into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat,
they talked about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table who is eating a sandwich, began to cough.
After a minute or so, it became apparent that she was in real distress.
One of the hillbillies looked at her and said, "Kin ya swallar?"

The woman shook her head no.

Then he asked, "Kin ya breathe?"

The woman began to turn blue and shook her head no.

The hillbilly walked over to the woman, lifted up her dress, yanked down her
drawers, and quickly gave her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue.

The woman was so shocked that she had a violent spasm, and the obstruction
flew out of her mouth. As she began to breathe again, the Hillbilly
walked slowly back to his table.

His partner said, "Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick
Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!"

Is Mise see thread about this drought your idea can be part of the solution

Belly,

I'm working on a post for that thread, see you there soon.
