In the midst of clearing the backyard of my new home (very overgrown) for my dog who was being
checked on by my brother everyday at the house I was in the middle of moving out of my neighbors called animal control saying he was abandoned we were at the house
checking on him when they arrived and they aggred everything was fine and we were going to move him within the next few days while my brother wasnt there it seems the neighbor
let him loose and proceeded to call again (various signs) he was picked up and we were told it'd be $ 500 or get a
police report through the local PD the
police told us a report would have to be filed with animal control not them and back and forth we went then we get a call OK you can have your dog IF you pick him up immediately he contacted kennel cough was unable to make the trip on such short notice and asked for more time as we had exhausted all our money that week and hadn't the gas to get him less than 24 hours later he was euthanized I lost a food dog today b / c of neighbors who kept their dogs strapped with bark collars and were rarely
let out.
But there has been no
let up from the state in terms of the surveillance and regulations imposed upon Aboriginal people and families, from «random» street
checks by
police to the Northern Territory Intervention, not to mention the outrageously high rates of child removals via the justice and child protection systems.
