[CW: animal cruelty] Dogs stacked in shipping containers overnight without water — what vet report reveals about now-shutdown breeder (www.abc.net.au)

In short:

Documents obtained by the ABC have revealed the conditions dogs and puppies were kept in at the now-closed dog breeder, Tasmanian Labradoodles.

A vet's report says the dogs were severely underweight, had no bedding, were overbred, and their fur was so matted they couldn't see.

What's next?

The RSPCA says it tried to shut down the dog breeder for years and is now calling for stronger animal welfare legislation to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

Yea … I tried to touch on this in the “vegan cat food debate” that happened on lemmy-world in response to all the “animal and pet cruelty” vitriol.

Apart from ignoring the nuance of the conversation vegans were having, the presumption that the pet industry and all those who have pets are animal lovers and vegans were somehow in contravention of an otherwise pristine endeavour … was problematically naive and ignorant of how much casual pet owners can in fact buttress an industry and practice with plenty of cruelty baked in.
