That is pathetic,the footage was taken by hidden camera, the people gathering the evidence did not see what they had until they processed it, there as no way they could save those particular animals. Hopefully this program has saved countless creatures that would have been torn to shreds right now as we speak.
Tell me who is breaking your dogs in, and what will happen your dogs if they do not win?

What those men were doing was wrong and not widespread.I am an animal lover and would never condone that.They ought to be hit as hard as possible but it is not the entire sport.
Secondly 4 corners had evidence and could have saved the lives of some of those animals by acting sooner so they directly caused the suffering of animals by staying silent.
4 corners wanted a show.They got it.The animalwelfare mob want the sport closed down.
No doubt there is corruption in the game.It needs a good look at and a rewrite of the rules and the little bloke who is being pushed out should be brought back in.
But the do gooders want to close it down and in this case it was the "do gooders"who caused pigs and possums to be ripped apart by staying silent.
So are you a "do badder" who wants to not close it down?

You better let all the animal shelters know,including the RSPCA,(as that's how they house unwanted animals).
They are in the news as well: http://www.theherald.com.au/story/402230/poll-debate-over-rspca-temp-test/

Of-course, all dogs should be confined securely and there are rules on size of the space each dog has to have. My dogs are house dogs, always have been, but in times that I kept both males and females, I also had a kennel run and the boys went for little 3 weeks holidays when one of the females was in season.
My dogs have a choice of the couch and several armchairs, but one of their favorite spots is the old show cage that I set up some years ago in the dog room for dog that hated thunderstorms. It is covered with thick quilt, the doors were taken off, and the dogs like to hide there, sometimes they all pile up in there and it is hard to comprehend how they fit in such a limited space. It is cool there on hot day and warm in the winter if the heating is not on.
There is nothing wrong with confining a dog, provided they are exercised.

I'm nit for banning it. I personally am sickened by all gambling. I'm sickened by politics. I'm never mentioned banning anything. I'm allowed to be sickened by anything I don't like. You live your life I live mine. I'm allowed to express my dislike of yours and you of mine. I believe in personal choice and freedom but as long as it doesn't involve immoral activities like cruelty. I hate religion because of what it has done to children I hate gambling because what it had done.
It was only a question and you answered it,
It's your personnel choice and even thought I gamble at times,it's only small amounts,(the $20 a week on Tatts
is my biggest outlay),
I've never liked animals I put up with them and would never be cruel to them or allow others to be cruel to them.
I've always being scared of dogs and will cross a street to avoid one that's "suspect".
Gambling can be cruel to someone that unfortunately gets "hooked" on it and it should have better safe guards
in place for all forms of it.
I wont say anything about religion as I think I've said enough as to what I think of it,

Both our dogs are indoor dogs,(they adore my OH and "tolerate" me,especially when there's food involved)
We bought a king size bed as we didn't have enough room for "everyone",(we still don't as the Staffy likes to
spread out).
Unfortunately we had the scare guns going off here and she's scared of them,(so it's a constant case of
assurance till she settles).
Luckily they only go off in the morning so at least one of us is home,(under the queen bed in the other room is
where she hides at times),

Wrong.They KNEW the first lot had killed animals.If they acted THEN AND THERE the animals killed by other people would not have been killed.They took weeks to act.They had information that if released would have saved some animals.
Your second question asks who is breaking my dogs in.I have 1 greyhound now.I bought her unraced unbroken in.A friend(not professional breakers) broke her in.Hedoes not use live animals at any stage and has been in the game 50 years and has NEVER used live animals and never will.He believes he gets the same result with a squeaky toy .As well I suspect road kill is always easy to find.
What happens if my dog does not win?She cannot win.She is far too slow.I retired her.She lives on the property and eats and plays.She is not going to be put down.Many are rehomed.I am an animal lover.I did not buy a dog because I hate animals.
The next one will be broken in and I will know what I amgetting.I want a decent one so I will pay decent money.I will keep them as pets if no good.After spending thousands of dollars I may as well get some joy from them.
The sport is made to look as bad as it can be to satisfy the agenda of those that want it shut down.

Mr Elephant's friend, charlie (not his real name) acuired a pet greyhound hen he was about telve. It happened like this: he'd gone into town to spend his pocket money and was standing gazing into a shop window when a man approached him with a greyhound on a leash. He asked Charlie if he would mind holding the dog while he (the owner) jut nipped round the corner to the bank. Two hours later Charlie was still holding the dog and th owner was nowhere to be seen.
In the end he took the poor creature home and his mum, being a big softie allowed him to keep it. It was a lovely, loyal and gentle pet - but it nearly ate them out of house and home!

there you go.dogs cannot get adopted now .It is one thing to stop cruelty and another to whip up a storm for ratings and cause more suffering.If they cannot adopt out dogs they will put them down.
