Press authorities to remove animals from unsuitable block in Clifton QLD 4362
The issue
These horse freeze and get skinnier in winter and then get heat stroke in summer. One was locked in a stock crate for days without shade and a wound on its face. You’ll see Google street photos from 2 years ago. You’ll see a video recently taken by a neighbour that the situation is worse. We have more brave neighbours taking photos asap
For too long, I've personally witnessed a heart-wrenching situation unfolding in the township of Clifton, only 40 minutes from Toowoomba. Every day, children attending the nearby primary school are confronted with the tragic sight of abused and neglected animals living in deplorable conditions. This isn't just a case of unsuitability for the animals; it's an unendurable horror that risks desensitizing our young ones to cruelty and suffering.
The Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has made attempts to address this issue, but significant action is yet to be taken. The RSPCA currently holds the responsibility of determining the next steps, offering a glimmer of hope for these animals. However, we cannot sit back and wait—it's time for us, as a community, to speak up and drive change.
The specter of retaliation by the landowner looms over us, causing fear and hesitance among those who want to voice their concerns for fear of repercussions on themselves or their pets. Nonetheless, protecting these animals outweighs our personal anxieties. By creating this petition, we can collectively voice our concerns while maintaining the anonymity vital for our safety.
Consider the following facts: animal neglect is not only a violation of ethical standards but also of legal ones, as per the Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act 2001. This act empowers local authorities to intervene in cases of cruelty and neglect. These animals deserve the basic life necessities that we, as a society, have obligated ourselves to provide.
Let's not stand idle when we have the opportunity to make a difference. I call upon the RSPCA, the authorities in charge, and all potential supporters to take unequivocal action by relocating these animals to a place where they can receive the care and love they rightfully deserve.
Please, sign this petition today to not only save the animals from ongoing abuse but also to protect and foster a compassionate community for our children. Together, we can create a safe environment for everyone at risk.
The YouTube video was taken in summer with no shade provided.
More proof coming.
It’s a small community and people have apprehension .
