Melbourne couple demand more transparency from RSPCA after foster greyhound euthanased

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-25/rspca-called-out-for-how-it-euthanases-animals/11899682

not a good look for the RSPCA 

i think from my experience greyhounds require better treatment than the one size fits all motto of the RSPCA

i very much doubt a GAP greyhound would be given a death sentence because it didnt asimulate fast enough.

GAP is a one dog breed organisation, why a greyhound was even with the RSPCA i have no idea.

the dog should have been passed on to the Victorian version of GAP, where the people understand the dogs.

it makes me so angry when death is the easy solution.

Just sickening !!!  I always thought the R.S.P.C.A. staffed "Animal Angels", but now I've completely changed my mind, big time. We have a 16 year old furkid with dementia ... he now doesn't remember to go outside for a wee ... he sleeps inside and is up a lot during the night, wandering around due to the dementia, but my hubby and I take turns and ALWAYS get up to see to him, calm him down, and give him a cuddle, then he's o.k. and settles. It's like having a newborn all over again, but he still eats well, is happy, and even 'tho he's "lost the plot" a wee bit, there is NO WAY we'd even dream of having him put to sleep !!!  The R.S.P.C.A. needs to be ashamed of themselves ... we really feel for that poor couple who had fostered him, they must be just devastated !!!

I'm sad, angry disgusted, frustrated and a whole lot of other emotions.

Death is not the answer for a stressed out dog.

I've heard stories about the RSPCA but this story confirms them.

How can you take a dog from a place it was happy at and put it in a place where it thinks it's being punished or it's

not wanted and then put it down because it was "stressed".

Off course it was stressed because they made it stress out because of  a convoluted process that's obviously

designed to be used so that they have an excuse to put the dog down.

A sensible way would be for an behaviorist to work with the dog whilst it's with foster carers in a loving and

happy place not in a kennel where it's unhappy and stressed out because it got booted from a happy place.

I'm not even going there.

Being an animal lover - and everytime they asked - I gave.

Never again.

This is just sickening , even just   watching the RSPCA show on TV when i've seen badly abused    dogs put     through a     'sociability  assessment'  about    5 minutes after it's been  rescued  and deemed  unfit for   adoption.   so out comes the lethal needle.    I don't know what the answer  is when they are overcrowded but there  has to be  a better way.

In this case the greyhound shd have been returned to its foster carers there was no  excuse. 

I had  made them partial beneficiaries in my   will but now i will contact them and ask them why i should.  .  I'm just disgusted by this.
