SO52 regarding Get Wild Animal Experiences

Recently a man who stabbed, beat and impaled a dog to a tree had his convictions overturned on appeal. Yesterday we passed an SO52 that sought documents concerning his company’s previous interactions with the DPI. These documents will reveal the scrutiny, or lack thereof, the DPI has had over this facility pursuant to its obligations under the Exhibited Animals Act. Australians hate animal cruelty, and we need to have a no tolerance stance against those that intentionally hurt animals. Anyone who beats and impales a dog is a risk to the community and to other animals. Soon we will know if this man should have been on the Government’s radar long ago.
