Several impounded dogs due to be rescued by a shelter have instead been shot dead by a rural council in NSW under its interpretation of COVID-19 restrictions, alarming animal activists and prompting a government probe.
Bourke Shire Council, in the state’s north-west, killed the dogs to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based animal shelter from travelling to pick up the animals last week, according to council’s watchdog, the Office of Local Government.
“OLG has been informed that the council decided to take this course of action to protect its employees and community, including vulnerable Aboriginal populations, from the risk of COVID-19 transmission,” a spokesman from the government agency said.
The spokesman said the agency was examining the circumstances of the incident to find out whether companion animal and cruelty prevention laws had been broken.
The Herald attempted to contact the council administration multiple times, but received no response, and a member of Rural Outback Respite/Rescue – the shelter that was supposed to receive the dogs – declined to comment.
A source who is familiar with the arrangement said the shelter volunteers were distressed and had COVID-safe measures in place to handle the dogs, one of which was a new mother.
According to NSW Health, there have been no recent locally acquired COVID-19 cases in Cobar, although fragments of the virus have been found in the area’s sewerage system.
So, I see Australian libtards also hide behind people as shields.
“OLG has been informed that the council decided to take this course of action to protect its employees and community, including vulnerable Aboriginal populations,”
Vulnerable. So very, very vulnerable.

Just goes to show the extremes Liberals resort to in order to maintain control over people!!
Obviously animals have more compassion in NSW than public officials do! 🙁
Just wait until its UN-vaccinated people… 😡
CoVID is just a fucking cold.
Perhaps someone should start hawking a tee-shirt with a picture of the virus and a caption, “It’s Just an Effing Cold.”
Stick it in “their” faces.
Anyone know if that’s a Muzzie area? Muzzies hate dogs and any excuse to kill them would do.
Just sayin’.
…also, love how they tell us, in their Australian way, that it’s mostly to protect Black people.
Because of COURSE it is.
This is just to put their heinous actions above reproach by framing it in a way that makes you a racist that wants Aborigines to die if you question their dog slaughtering.
…honestly, if we don’t get OVER this crap about race there will be literally NOTHING a politician can’t do using it as an excuse every time, and it’s not much of a jump from killing pets to killing people as anyone who’s ever worked with the criminally insane can tell you…
We’re next…
I know of a couple of bitches who should be “shot dead”.
Maybe if they had worn masks . . .
Anyone in authority in AUS just needs to burn in hell right now.
Australians can do nothing – they gave up their guns so now they’re over-powered. While in Sydney, we met a retired cop. He said the worse thing the people of Australia ever did was give up their weapons. Now TPTB are using them against the people and animals. Well, what can one say, they were once an island of prisoners, and this is the off-spring acting out. It’s in their DNA. The jab made them crazier! Get the jab meet the slab.
After the Australian shelters are empty the people running them can probably get jobs w/ PETA.
They hate shelter animals just as much as the dictators in Australia.
The killers and those responsible for them should have their feet cut off.
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth…and a dog for a dog.
Wordplay aside, I just cannot fathom how anybody could do this. Anybody but mohammadmen.
I have posted many times that if you either concede good intentions or hold onto the belief that there is a limit to the subhuman behavior of individuals who subscribe to the progressive worldview you are making a huge mistake. They are not well intentioned and their capacity for malice is infinite. It has been said that the infinite capacity for goodness that is God is something that humans cannot fully comprehend, it naturally follows that the capacity for wickedness and evil innate in the one progressives follow is beyond our ability to fully comprehend as well.
People who always say, “No way. They wouldn’t do THAT!”,
Never look back at history. Because, somewhere, at some time, they sure as fuck did it.
Not sure if this was posted but Australia truckers are shutting down to fight back. Maybe that’s why they killed the dogs in case of meat shortages. COVID is a freaking cold and Biden stole the election!
Just when you think Australia can’t get any more fucked up…
