Australian shame: Rescue dogs are slaughtered to prevent COVID spread

[Counselor706]

A local government in Australia shot and killed rescue dogs because they feared that COVID-19 would spread if people traveled to the shelter to pick them up. The killing of the animals has ignited outrage, and many commenters believe Australia is suffering from coronavirus "hysteria."

The governing body in the Orana region of New South Wales declared that several rescued dogs at a shelter were a health hazard, so the council had the animals shot to death.

American Deplorables are poisoning themselves with Ivermectin to "treat" or "prevent" Covid when highly safe and effective vaccines are readily available, so..........yeah.

Put Laz down as being A-OK with soldiers keeping the populace under house arrest for "public health."

This is Australia.

Reports of children testing positive for Covid are now being separated from their parents.

This story is a beat up. The Orana region is an area of about the same size as Wyoming with about one third of Wyoming's population.

The only surprising feature is that the dogs were handed in. In a rural area like this the normal thing to do would be for the farmer to shoot the dogs and hang the carcass on the fence. Then when the other ferals, dogs and cats come along to eat the body, you shoot them too.

Feral animals are a plague across Australia shooting 'em is an expression of social responsibility!
