Do you People Against Live Exports ever do anything in the area of farmers abusing dogs etc.? Animal cruelty was really offensive when I worked on a property south of Warwick QLD back in the late 1980's. The guy and his defacto used to drown the unwanted pups. They didnt bother to find loving homes, just drowned them in the sink or whatever. Ive had an intense dislike for farmers practices ever since. The guy starved his dogs with some mythical belief that if you gave them a wholesome meal they wouldnt pull their weight out with the sheep. It was all very "Deliverance" in that part of QLD.

Sorry I didnt see your post earlier - Thanks for your interesting comments.
Gibo-you put it pretty well about labour.
As to your question re dogs. We have ben working on a project to get some Animal Welfare into Aboriginal and regional areas but we are not a huge organisation and we must wait to see if we can get it off the ground.
We would love to visit each farm at least twice a year.
We are doing a bit on live export of dogs that are cooked alive for humam consumption.
Its hard to beleive the cruelty inflicted on our Animals.
I still can not comprehend it.
Thanks for caring Gibo
