Beautiful Green Tree Snake found in the old flower pot near our back door. My son put his hand in to get the Derris Dust and didn’t even see her. She looks like she’s just eaten with some bulging areas in her body. It’s also possible that she is about to moult as her scales are very dull. She looks to be well over a meter long. What a beauty she is :-)

THIS IS MY LAST POST TODAY. ALAS MY SADDEST. THIS PRETTY DINGO X FEMALE IS ONE OF THE PACK OF DINGOS THAT LIVES ON AND AROUND MY 80acre PROPERTY. SHE WAS FRIENDLY & SWEET. IN THIS PHOTO SHE IS COMING TOWARDS ME AND JUMPED ON ME FOR A PLAY.

THE PROPERTY OWNERS AROUND HERE HATE THE DINGOS DUE TO LOSS OF STOCK. 4 SHEEP THIS WEEK ALONE. THIS GIRL WAS SEEN EARLY THIS MORNING RUNNING THE FENCES.

UNFORTUNATELY SHE WAS HIT BY CAR NOT LONG AGO AND WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO CALL “FAUNA RESCUE” TO PUT HER TO SLEEP. SHE WAS SEVERELY INJURED & BRAIN DAMAGED BEYOND HOPE :-(

SICK and injured farm animals are being traded across Victoria, allegedly in breach of animal welfare rules.

Shocking video reveals animals writhing after clumsy failed attempts to put them down, sheep being made to walk with horribly broken legs and a stock handler tossing a live sheep into a pen.

Animals with open wounds and some that are rake-thin have been found at saleyards around the state.


The Department of Primary Industry is investigating three claims of cruelty and inappropriate practice.

The Herald Sun can reveal the Ombudsman’s office has been asked to investigate the adequacy of the department’s response to persistent claims of mistreatment at saleyards.

Among dozens of allegations raised with the DPI this year are that:

SHEEP made to walk with broken legs and with open wounds have been put up for sale.

> A SHEEP was seen writhing and kicking for 13 minutes, until its throat was cut, after attempts to put it down by shooting. A DPI probe found “no evidence” the sheep was suffering.

> STOCK handlers have been seen throwing live animals into pens.

> EMACIATED sheep were transported to an abattoir for halal slaughter.

> The alleged activity was filmed by animal activists.

FUCK YOU BASTARDS. LEAVE OUR AUSSIE ANIMALS ALONE. YOU EAT EVERYTHING :-((((

Koala ‘for braising’ gets traveller stewing

An Australian traveller says he was horrified to find a live koala for sale at a restaurant in southern China where the menu was offering the iconic marsupial for dinner in either “braised or stewed” varieties.
A sign on the cage holding the animal advertised “koalas” for purchase at a rate of 139 yuan ($A20) for 500 grams.
It was one of a number of live exotic animals, including birds and fish, on display at the restaurant in Panyu district, Guangdong.

Sea Shepherd opposes call for shark cull

Doctors of the oceans … sharks play a vital role in the health of our seas. Photo: Jessica Hromas

The West Australian government has unfortunately given a green light to hunt for a shark that killed a man in the waters off Rottnest Island on October 22.
The 32-year-old American man was diving and spearfishing, when it is believed a three-metre great white shark attacked him. In response to this third fatal shark attack in the state during the past two months, Premier Colin Barnett ordered that the shark responsible for the man’s death be caught and killed. He has also not ruled out installing shark nets as a safety precaution.
Our hearts sincerely go out to the families who have suffered recent losses following these tragic, fatal attacks. But in all of these cases, the victims had a deep love, respect and understanding of the oceans and were aware of the risks involved. The family members of each victim have asked for the sharks not to be killed, as their loved ones would not have wanted such revenge. One victim in particular was a surfer and a passionate Sea Shepherd supporter.
Sea Shepherd is opposed to the killing of all sharks for any reason. Over the past 30 years, the populations of some shark species have declined by as much as 98 per cent. Sharks have been swimming in our oceans for more than 400 million years and they play a vital role in the health of our oceans.
Mr Barnett and West Australian Fisheries Minister Norman Moore have given their approval to track down and kill a protected shark species, which shows that they are clearly out of touch with the importance of the role that sharks play in keeping our oceans healthy.
In the 215 years that shark statistics have been recorded in Western Australia, there have been only 119 reported shark attacks, of which 18 have been fatal [1].

Australia, Put an End to Cruelty Against Chickens!


Target: Australia’s state animal welfare ministers
Sponsored by: C. Wolverton
KFC has thankfully put an end to misleading Australian commercials advertising free-roaming chickens, but the cruelty and false claims continue.Steggles, one of KFC’s leading chicken meat suppliers, claims to raise their chickens “in custom built chicken barns where they are free to roam and have access to food and water.” In reality, the chickens are packed densely into the barns, preventing them from pecking, roosting and stretching their wings as they would do in a natural environment. Major suppliers Turi Foods and the Australian Chicken Meat Federation raise their chickens similarly to Steggles, through their Websites display misleading photos of spacious farms.  Australia currently has no legal standard for animal husbandry products, nor an enforceable definition of the term “free to roam.” Please send a message to Australia’s state animal welfare ministers to request tighter standards for animal welfare and animal product advertising.
