Since March this year and my interactions with the RSPCA, being spokesperson for Moorook shelter and all the legals and side stories relating to the past few months, i have not been able to get my mind of the topic of animal welfare, in particular the legal side of all the cases I have been privy to. I have spoken regularly with people involved in cases all over the country, and in fact 3 cases here in SA that are ongoing. I have spoken to friends in the legal and political arenas and debated my ideals on the matter, I have such an interest, I have read most case studies, chatted to whistle blowers and I am involved in a national expose. From my personal point of view every case so far is a debacle, every charge made by the RSPCA has lacked compassion and indeed fair play, their legal views are out of balance and not supported by common law equity, the defence cases are just as flawed, they act as though they must defend actions that were inept at law in the first place. The use of media in most cases has been unjust in the reporting, the waste of hard earned money ear marked for animal welfare is wasted on over the top prosecutions that are all about increasing powers to those who know little about how such powers should be used. Animal welfare is about the protection of animals, not about protecting any individuals personal position or indeed their corporations good name, it is about supporting and backing up carers to do what they do best. I will now continue my studies and step up my fight for animal welfare reforms, but the issues in the most are legal based, so expect to see me standing up in a more proactive manner in the future, and to those in animal welfare enforcement, expect to see my name on a regular basis, I suggest you pull your heads in and start to consider the animals best interests before you act in the future.
