10 supporters are talking about petitions related to Animal Welfare!
It astounds me that once again a demand to move a harmless native Australian animal living in Australian bushland so someone can ride around on an introduced species for fun gets to a point where a petition is even needed?
Although horses are allowed in there is surely if a horse is so skittish an emu scares it then riding in a popular mountain biking network isn’t where you should be in the first place .
As a parent of a former student at OC this is troubling. What’s the message to students - luxury sports fields and facilities matter more than preserving a threatened species and environmental degradation.
At another level it clearly shows that the fees are so excessive as to enable the school to expand facilities that are not essential and just feed the ego of the school community to be able to be even more ostentatious. I think the values are questionable.
Enough is enough Redlands Council - when are you actually going to stop development that destroys the natural habitat - you might as well change the Redlands logo to remove the koala because we soon won’t have any left. It’s as good as having the Dodo on the council logo.
For many families, a pet is not “owned”—they are loved, depended on, and mourned when they are gone. To call them mere property is to deny the depth of the bond that shapes our homes and our hearts. Recognising animals as true family members, with rights that protect their wellbeing and dignity, honours the loyalty and unconditional love they give us every single day. They stand by us without hesitation; the least we can do is stand up for them.
