WEBVTT - Facing critical overcrowding, the RSPCA is urgently seeking loving homes for cats

0:00:00.000 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Louise, I can sing if you want. Good to

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.320
<v Speaker 1>see you see. Yeah, thanks for coming in. We're going

0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:08.479
<v Speaker 1>to get to this. Unfortunately, often when you and I talk,

0:00:08.960 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>the breaking news stories are horrific on animal cruelty to

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>get one in gosnels in just a moment, and the

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>numbers are staggering. But Kaylie's here as well. Kaylie's been

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:22.439
<v Speaker 1>a faithful RSPC, a employee, and you've got a couple

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>of guests who you've got.

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Here, Luke.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so Kaylee's joined me in the studio today to

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 3>help me wrangle these two little qtis. We have eleven

0:00:30.520 --> 0:00:36.000
<v Speaker 3>week old kittens, brothers Bert and Ernie. They are very

0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 3>very cute, but you know they're eleven week old kittens,

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 3>so they want to get out and explore and everything.

0:00:41.200 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Very very active.

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:46.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they're currently available for adoption, but as a bonded pair,

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 3>so you will need to take both because they yeah,

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:53.639
<v Speaker 3>they're very attached to each other. They've been with us

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 3>since they were two weeks old. Yes, they've found astrays,

0:00:58.440 --> 0:01:00.960
<v Speaker 3>so they were fostered and and now they're ready to

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.120
<v Speaker 3>be adopted. And really we've really pushing our cat adoptions

0:01:05.160 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 3>at the moment because we've got room for around one

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:08.440
<v Speaker 3>hundred cats.

0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 4>We've got ninety seven.

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and there are I hear eleven coming in from

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 3>the one property today, so we really need to move

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.960
<v Speaker 3>some of our cats out. We've got them from all ages,

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 3>from this young right up through till twelve year old Tuppants,

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.600
<v Speaker 3>who was a delightful black cat that was a very

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 3>quiet home. So people are in the market, head to

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 3>the RSPCAWA website.

0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.800
<v Speaker 1>These two are incredibly active. Kaylee has that one's Ernie,

0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>isn't it is that? What's that's Ernie? They don't look

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:44.039
<v Speaker 1>like brothers.

0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:47.920
<v Speaker 3>No, it's not unusual for litters of kittens to look

0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 3>vastly different to each other. Yeah, it's just really common.

0:01:53.000 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 3>So just for people playing along at home. Is black

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 3>and white and Ernie is a tabby.

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, beautiful. Yeah, they're both very cute and they

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>are full bore. They're like two little hand grenades of

0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 1>fur and fluff. Aren't they so cute though? Yeah, they

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>are extremely cute, So they are rela'll go to the

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:14.040
<v Speaker 1>RSPCA website. Katie, nice to meet you and thanks for

0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>coming in. Kaylee is having to wrangle the right word

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.040
<v Speaker 1>hey and that's what that's saying, comes from hurting kittens,

0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:23.600
<v Speaker 1>hurting cats. These Yeah, these are the poster child for

0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>that phrase. Exactly one double three eight eighty two. If

0:02:26.040 --> 0:02:27.800
<v Speaker 1>you'd like to have a chat to Lou today, we

0:02:27.840 --> 0:02:31.800
<v Speaker 1>will talk about of the service that the RSPCA provide.

0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Lou's given me a sheet of a four paper. It's

0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>a new media release. I don't think you would have

0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>heard this information anywhere else. Mother and sons plural Lou

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>charged with cruelty against cats and chickens.

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:45.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's right.

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.519
<v Speaker 3>So a fifty three year old woman and her two

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 3>sons aged twenty five and twenty two, have each been

0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 3>charged with fifteen counts of animal cruelty. Background story. We

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:02.640
<v Speaker 3>got a report back in feb were saying that a

0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 3>member of the public had seen many cats living in

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 3>appalling living conditions in the backyard of a Gosnell's house.

0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 3>So our inspectors went out there actually saw thirty eight

0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 3>cats and kittens. They were confined to cages and pens

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>of all different sizes, some stacked on top of each other,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:29.720
<v Speaker 3>all through the property. I've seen the photos. It's just

0:03:30.000 --> 0:03:32.760
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how people walk past this day after day,

0:03:32.880 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 3>but so much excrement and you know, yeah, no food

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 3>and wilter diarrhea everywhere, just the most appalling conditions. The

0:03:47.600 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 3>hens were just so skinny. Their water bowl was filled

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 3>with dried sticks, is what our inspector is reporting. So yes,

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 3>the three of them have been charged and they will

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>face the Armadell Magistrates Court next month.

0:04:02.240 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 1>All right, So this is as lou said, fifty three

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>old woman, two sons, twenty five and twenty two, thirty

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 1>eight cats in the one house and four chickens and

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:13.800
<v Speaker 1>just reading further down your release, and this quite a

0:04:13.840 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>bit of detail about.

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 2>The about the.

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>How unkempt the house was, and the mess and the

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.040
<v Speaker 1>feces and the urine and the diarrhea or all that.

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>It's not for the faint hearted.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>The animals had gastro intestinal illnesses, infections, dental disease and

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>poor body condition.

0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:33.000
<v Speaker 2>Right across.

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 1>The thirty eight cats and the four iler brown hens

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>were inside a large coup now fundamental toilist lou Is

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>RSPCAU will allege the female. It will be accused of

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>operating a profit britten driven commercial business of selling these cats.

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:50.239
<v Speaker 4>Yep, so to kitten.

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:54.360
<v Speaker 3>Far she yeah, she was or is sorry, a registered

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>cat breeder, and all of the cats were what may

0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 3>be termed as desirable breeds, so rag dolls and Russian blues,

0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 3>which fetch a pretty penny.

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, So the maximum penalty here is for animal

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.599
<v Speaker 1>Cruelly's fifty grand fine and you can cop some prison

0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>time as well, which is one of your old jobs,

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:15.039
<v Speaker 1>used to work for a corrective services need. Yeah, and

0:05:15.080 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>they go to Armadale magistrates called on twenty fifth of July.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.400
<v Speaker 1>What's your job from here? What's RSPCA's job from here?

0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.760
<v Speaker 3>So our inspectors who picked up this case and went

0:05:24.800 --> 0:05:31.000
<v Speaker 3>out there, they complete their investigation and then determine whether

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 3>charges are warranted, which obviously in this case they did.

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 3>So then they work with our legal team and it

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 3>gets to this stage and the people are actually charged

0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 3>and then from here on in obviously our legal team

0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.279
<v Speaker 3>is in court and you know, showing all the evidence

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:55.760
<v Speaker 3>and talking about the alleged defenses and yeah, then it's

0:05:55.880 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 3>up to the magistrate whether they're found guilty and what

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>the penalty is.

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 4>The magistrate decides that.

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Our commander in chief of Social Media Operations, Tony's in

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>this year and the cats are quiet and down. Your

0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.520
<v Speaker 1>cat whispered to look at this, Yeah, look at you,

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>eleven weeks old kitten stadium. I don't think the dog

0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:17.880
<v Speaker 1>would appreciate it did amazing story. Thirty eight cats in

0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>one house, the home of registered breeder.

0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:23.279
<v Speaker 2>Why do the boys get charged as well if she's

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>the breeder.

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 3>Because they all lived in the house and they were

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 3>all aware of the conditions, This is what will be

0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:36.200
<v Speaker 3>alleging and therefore they are all responsible and they and

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.560
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to say it's still before the courts

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.680
<v Speaker 3>at the moment, but in evidence, in some of the

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:47.599
<v Speaker 3>things that all three said to our inspector, we will

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>allege that or three did take responsibility.

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 4>The culpability allegedly.

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Lou, it didn't escape my attention that you said there's

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>an eleven more cats coming into the RSPCA this morning.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.480
<v Speaker 1>That also from a case week where you'll be having

0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>a look at that on criminal grounds.

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 3>Too early to say, yeah, I don't know, it will

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 3>be from an inspector, but as I say, from there,

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>they're the ones that will carry out the investigation. They're

0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 3>the ones that have the power under the Act to

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 3>take things forward or not. So yeah, I'm not aware

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 3>of the circumstances of that one.

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>Thank you well answered like a professional, like a politician,

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 1>like a politician, like a pro come back in a

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>moment fifteen and a half minutes past eleven.

0:07:33.160 --> 0:07:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Can you believe that?

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>As Lu said, how do people walk past this? How

0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>do people walk past this stuff with gi the illness,

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 1>poor body condition and just filth and squalor how do

0:07:45.880 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>people keep managing to do this? Please ask Lou why

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>people found guilty of animal cruelty are banned for owning

0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>pets for two to five years?

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Why not for life?

0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:00.000
<v Speaker 3>There we go, that's a question for the individual magistrates.

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.920
<v Speaker 3>It's short answer is I don't know. But it's rspca

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:08.920
<v Speaker 3>WA that has the power to charge and to bring

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 3>these people before the court and we argue the case

0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:14.760
<v Speaker 3>as best we can, but then it's up to the

0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 3>individual magistrate to decide on the penalty which is available

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:22.160
<v Speaker 3>to them under the Act. And Carol's right, we have

0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.360
<v Speaker 3>had a few cases where people have been banned from

0:08:24.400 --> 0:08:26.880
<v Speaker 3>owning animals for the rest of their life, but it

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.320
<v Speaker 3>is pretty standard to hear, you know, five year ban,

0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 3>ten year ban, that kind of thing. But yeah, unfortunately

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't have a straight ad so it's up to

0:08:38.240 --> 0:08:41.280
<v Speaker 3>the individual magistrate in each individual case what they decide

0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 3>the penalty is.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.360
<v Speaker 1>Yep, I've asked you this the last three times you've

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>been in. You've been you're going to get some budget

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:49.600
<v Speaker 1>money for some more inspectors. When do those boots hit

0:08:49.640 --> 0:08:49.960
<v Speaker 1>the road?

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 3>So we already have a lot of new trainee inspectors,

0:08:54.679 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 3>which is great because for safety reasons, all of our

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>inspectors now work in pairs, so we've had to do

0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:07.680
<v Speaker 3>quite hefty recruitment. And yeah, it's going really well. The

0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 3>systems working really well, traveling to regional areas on a

0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:16.480
<v Speaker 3>frequent basis. And yeah, the new funding kicks in one July.

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Okay, good luck, Thanks, good luck. Lou Rose was if

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:21.560
<v Speaker 1>you want to ring in, you can one double three

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:23.760
<v Speaker 1>eight to eighty two. Just to go back on to

0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>there have been some changes to the laws around the

0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:30.840
<v Speaker 1>Dog Act and the cad Act, and we know a

0:09:30.840 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of pet shops have closed down.

0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:33.480
<v Speaker 2>You and I've talked about this at length.

0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>I've talked to Melkriddle, our vet about this as well.

0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:39.440
<v Speaker 1>So the new laws under the new Westralian cad Act

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.920
<v Speaker 1>all cats six months old and must be sterilized, lou

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 1>micro chriulden registered with their local government, not with the RSPCA.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:47.439
<v Speaker 1>How's that going.

0:09:47.559 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 2>What are you hearing?

0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Because we did hear there's been some problems with the

0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:52.079
<v Speaker 1>registration system, with the database.

0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I just you know, hear stuff. As you say,

0:09:57.640 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 3>we don't administer it. I think people do. You get

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:04.079
<v Speaker 3>a bit frustrated depending on which local government area they

0:10:04.080 --> 0:10:07.960
<v Speaker 3>live in at how strongly those laws are enforced.

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 4>But that is the law though.

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 3>They have to be sterilized, micro chipped and registered. And

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 3>even if you only want to breed one letter from

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 3>your cat, you have to register as a breeder.

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>I was going to say, so that's that new information

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.640
<v Speaker 1>recep only one letter, you still need to register as

0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>a breederround if it's just one Yeah, all right. And

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>a lot of this is around shire's and local government

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 1>and you know, rangers and part of the local government

0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:34.960
<v Speaker 1>systems should be looking after all of this. Have you

0:10:35.000 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>heard anything, either anecdotallylo or otherwise about the fact that

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.560
<v Speaker 1>this registration's portal is being delayed.

0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:47.120
<v Speaker 3>I have heard as much as anyone else has. You know.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:51.000
<v Speaker 3>Hannah Beasley came out and said that state government had

0:10:51.000 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 3>parted ways with the company that was contracted to establish

0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:59.280
<v Speaker 3>a centralized registration system rather than each LGA holding their

0:10:59.280 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 3>own records.

0:11:01.800 --> 0:11:02.440
<v Speaker 4>That's all I know.

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 2>You know, that's fine.

0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>We are hearing the same and probably reading the same

0:11:06.760 --> 0:11:10.200
<v Speaker 1>media reports that you arelu And again we talked to

0:11:10.200 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Melkriddle about it as well. You've got a community Action

0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.439
<v Speaker 1>Day tomorrow and one in July, in one in August.

0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 2>Tell us about those.

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, So a lot of people know RSPCA WA for

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 3>the kinds of cases that we've been talking about, so

0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.400
<v Speaker 3>animal cruelty. They know that we rescue animals. They know

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 3>that we have a shelter in Malagar and they can

0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.400
<v Speaker 3>come and adopt pets from us. What a lot of

0:11:33.400 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 3>people don't know is all of the community outreach stuff

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:41.440
<v Speaker 3>that we do. We're not a big stick organization except

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:45.079
<v Speaker 3>when we absolutely have to be. Our inspectors and our

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 3>other staff are all supremely compassionate and work with pet

0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:53.600
<v Speaker 3>owners as much as possible to try and help them

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.760
<v Speaker 3>educate them. And Community Action Days are just one of

0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:01.000
<v Speaker 3>the practical outreach programs that we do. We tend to

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 3>hold them in lower socio economic areas, people who are

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 3>struggling can come along and judgment free.

0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Don't have to give us reasons why.

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:12.200
<v Speaker 3>They can come along and get free dog and cat food,

0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:16.480
<v Speaker 3>free flea and worm treatments. Dogs can be health checked.

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 3>We've got trainers there to give advice, and you can

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.160
<v Speaker 3>get free micro chipping as well.

0:12:22.240 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah cool.

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 1>Now, just watching the birt Narnie in action here, So

0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>Tony's coming and as completely plicated. That's bird I think,

<v Speaker 1>isn't it. That's right, it's birds. And what I'm to you, Tony,

0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:34.160
<v Speaker 1>how you going Katie with yours?

0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:34.439

<v Speaker 1>Are you sure you're working in the right profession?

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 4>What's going on here? He is intrigued.

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 3>He's loving the six PR logo going on and off

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 3>the big TV screen.

0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:49.200
<v Speaker 4>So I think we maybe need to put.

0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.560
<v Speaker 3>One of those up in our catgory to keep the

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 3>cats entertained.

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:52.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well done, very very good.

0:13:19.480 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>The community action days they call so, as Lou said,

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>free food, health checks, micro tripping, flea and worm treatments

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 1>for struggling pet owns. And in particular, it's the expertise

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>you can pass on to people, isn't it?

0:13:29.400 --> 0:13:29.480
<v Speaker 4>So?

0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:32.240
<v Speaker 3>Oh for sure? And sometimes it's just about putting people's

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.559
<v Speaker 3>minds at rest. You know, my dog's doing this or

0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.000
<v Speaker 3>my cat's doing that, and you know you talk to

0:13:38.040 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 3>a professional, they go, oh, yeah, that's completely normal, but no,

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.560
<v Speaker 3>it can be annoying behavior. We suggest you try X

0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:44.800
<v Speaker 3>y Z and yeah it's great.

0:13:44.920 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Yep one level three A. So if you'd like to

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:48.560
<v Speaker 1>speak to Luro you can.

0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 2>How you going, Lou?

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:51.240
<v Speaker 1>And all the time I've known you, you've worked here

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.000
<v Speaker 1>on the radio with Howard with late How do you work?

0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>Correct?

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.520
<v Speaker 1>The services? You worked at truruism Wa Just another day

0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>in Wa was one on something you and your gang

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>came up. How are you going with this? I know

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you love animals, but how you going with all this? Yeah?

0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 4>I love it? I feel like I've landed where I

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:09.679
<v Speaker 4>was meant to be.

0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 3>I mean, when you work for the RSPCA but you're

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 3>still known as the crazy dog lady, then I think

0:14:15.080 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 3>that kind.

0:14:15.600 --> 0:14:17.120
<v Speaker 4>Of shows that that's your calling.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.880
<v Speaker 3>You may be Yeah, you've maybe found your people, you

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:20.960
<v Speaker 3>may be found your place.

0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Look, some of the stuff is heartbreaking, of course

0:14:23.640 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 4>it is.

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 3>And ultimately it would be amazing if the RSPCA didn't

0:14:29.240 --> 0:14:31.760
<v Speaker 3>have to exist, because then there would you would mean

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 3>there was no animal cruelty.

0:14:33.640 --> 0:14:34.800
<v Speaker 4>But unfortunately it does.

0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 3>And I've got to tell you though, those good stories

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:40.359
<v Speaker 3>are the ones that, Wow.

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 2>You'd be going, Yeah, he'd be coming back into work.

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Has any of it surprised you? Has any of the

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.040
<v Speaker 1>content any of the things you've seen? Is there anything unexpected,

0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:54.200
<v Speaker 1>either in the role or the politically or you know,

0:14:54.240 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 1>in the community, anything surprised.

0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:58.000
<v Speaker 4>You, Lou, Yeah, a couple of things.

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:04.920
<v Speaker 3>So the way that people can treat their animals, even

0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 3>after all these years, continues to surprise me.

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:08.440
<v Speaker 4>I know it shouldn't.

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we spoke about this last time

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 3>I was with you, but there've been some charges against

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.680
<v Speaker 3>three blokes working on a mind site in the Gold

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:22.280
<v Speaker 3>fields who thought it would be really funny to hit

0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:24.760
<v Speaker 3>a pigeon with a golf club and you did tell

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.560
<v Speaker 3>me and film.

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:27.560
<v Speaker 4>It and put it on Snapchat.

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.800
<v Speaker 3>So you know, you just look at that vision and

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.680
<v Speaker 3>you just go, I don't understand what was going through

0:15:32.720 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 3>your head.

0:15:34.000 --> 0:15:35.640
<v Speaker 4>So those kinds of things free Bloodstream.

0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, those kinds of things continue to surprise me.

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.600
<v Speaker 4>People's expectations sometimes.

0:15:43.800 --> 0:15:47.040
<v Speaker 3>You know though, and Kaylie has a lot more experience

0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:50.360
<v Speaker 3>with this than I do, but they kind of treat

0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:52.280
<v Speaker 3>us a little bit like a shop. So they'll come

0:15:52.320 --> 0:15:55.280
<v Speaker 3>in and they'll be like, you know, I want a small, white,

0:15:55.400 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 3>fluffy dog, no older than you know, two years of age.

0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 3>And you say, well, we don't have anything that fits

0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:06.200
<v Speaker 3>that description. And it's like you're working at Big w

0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 3>and they expect you to go out the back and check.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:10.320
<v Speaker 4>The stock for and to see if there's one there's

0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:11.640
<v Speaker 4>supposed to wait to describe.

0:16:11.760 --> 0:16:15.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and it's like you, yeah, not a shop, Like

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:19.479
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of not the philosophy of animal rescue and rehoming.

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.840
<v Speaker 3>So do what we got out of the back. Yeah,

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:26.320
<v Speaker 3>that's kind of interesting. Yeah, they're probably the two biggest things.

0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, all right, keep up the good work.

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:29.920
<v Speaker 1>It's a noble line of work and it's very well

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:33.040
<v Speaker 1>suited to you and your personality and your skill set.

0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.960
