Dogs stacked in shipping containers overnight without water — what vet report reveals about now-shutdown breeder
www.abc.net.au
Documents obtained by the ABC show that dogs surrendered from a labradoodle breeder in July were severely underweight, overbred, and some dogs with facial fur so extensive it impaired their sight were kept near electric fences.

In short:

Documents obtained by the ABC have revealed the conditions dogs and puppies were kept in at the now-closed dog breeder, Tasmanian Labradoodles.

A vet’s report says the dogs were severely underweight, had no bedding, were overbred, and their fur was so matted they couldn’t see.

What’s next?

The RSPCA says it tried to shut down the dog breeder for years and is now calling for stronger animal welfare legislation to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

    I use this analogy where I say that both companion animals and animals exploited for other purposes, such as food, experience speciesism, but they experience it differently. The difference is akin to the difference between racial fetishization and aggressive racist attacks. Both are forms of racism, but one comes off as a “kinder” and more “benevolent” form of racism than the other.

    Dogs and cats are still victims of human supremacy on a daily basis, to a point where they’re treated as commodities and toys for humans to play with rather than truly being respected as the beings they are, independent of how they can serve human interests.
