Target: Jane Howlett, Minister for Primary Industries and Water, Tasmania
Goal: Strengthen animal welfare enforcement to prevent severe cruelty and protect animals from abuse.
Animal welfare advocates in Tasmania are urgently calling for tougher animal protection laws following distressing reports of severe cruelty. Former workers at a now-closed puppy breeding facility have alleged inhumane practices including over-breeding, physical abuse of dogs, deceit of buyers, and being asked to place live puppies in freezers. Additionally, suspicions of extreme mistreatment at a local abattoir have raised serious concerns about the effectiveness of current legislation.
Kristy Alger, an animal welfare advocate, has campaigned for legislative changes for eight years. She recalls witnessing a dairy cow at Gretna Meatworks in 2016 suffering prolonged pain due to inadequate slaughtering practices. The cow, no longer productive in milk, was reportedly left with a broken leg, subjected to multiple failed stunning attempts, and improperly slaughtered.
Despite existing animal welfare laws that should prevent such incidents, advocates argue that enforcement is lacking, and the legislation does not effectively deter inhumane practices. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) Tasmania has expressed anticipation for the release of the draft Dog Regulations Discussion Paper, which aims to address these critical issues.
All these disturbing accusations highlight significant gaps in animal welfare protections and the urgent need for legislative reform. Take action now.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Jane Howlett,
I am writing to express deep concern over recent reports of severe animal cruelty in Tasmania, including allegations from former workers at a closed puppy breeding facility and accounts of inhumane treatment at an abattoir. These distressing incidents suggest that current animal welfare laws are insufficient in preventing abuse and ensuring the humane treatment of animals.
Despite existing legislation intended to protect animals, the reported recurrence of such cruel practices indicates a lack of effective enforcement and deterrence. Animals continue to suffer unnecessarily due to gaps in the law and inadequate oversight. Strengthening animal welfare legislation and its enforcement is crucial to prevent further instances of abuse and to promote ethical treatment.
I urge you to take immediate action to enhance the legal protections for animals in Tasmania. This includes implementing stricter regulations, increasing penalties for violations, and ensuring robust enforcement mechanisms. By doing so, you will help safeguard the well-being of animals and reflect the community’s expectation for humane and ethical treatment.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Animal /torture Abuse….no excuse for puppies or any other animal on this page…death penalty!
THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I KEEP SAYING EXACUTE THESE LESS THAN HUMAN BEINGS SICK PHYCOPATHS THIS IS THE ONLY WAY ANIMAL ABUSE WILL STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU
They should be executed in a way that maximizes their pain and suffering, Such as squeezing their balls very tightly in a vice grip while freezing them to death
Great idea!
Totally agree – death to all animal abusers. They are a waste of fresh air.
to go what was done to innocent animals esp. babies is inhumane. that needs to be done to the person who froze the puppies. turn about fair play
Because whatever scum did this should be brought to justice!
FAR TO MANY SO-CALLED HUMANS ARE REALLY F*CKING BASTARDS!
NO animal deserves to be the victim of DEHUMANIZED, DESENSITIZED, and SADISTIC PSYCHOPATHS.
NO animal-abuser should get away with such a horrific crime!! Tormenting, neglecting and killing animals has a brutalizing effect on our society and mankind as a whole. This pathological monster must be severely punished. He must also be forbidden from coming near, owning or working with animals in future.
SET a PRECEDENT, and punish to the full extent of the law!
MAX JAIL or DEATH PENALTY!
The pieces of garbage that allow this need to be taken to the slaughterhouse and executed. This is disgusting and the people responsible need to pay the ultimate sacrifice.
Torture all these evil putrid monsters to death. F**king sub-human TRASH,, wish I could get my hands on them. Bastard Inbreds should suffer & die at birth from the slags that birth them all.
WTF!!! This should NOT be allowed to happen. WTF kind of world do we live in when all this Animal torture is IGNORED?????
They should be executed with maximum pain and suffering. I’d slowly squeeze their balls very tightly in a vice grip while freezing them to death
IT’S SICKENING THAT WE HAVE TO SHARE SPACE AND AIR WITH DEMENTED FREAKS LIKE HIM/HER. EVIL PEICES OF SHIT THAT I AGREE, ARE THE ONES WHO BELONG AT THE SLAUGHTER HOUSES AND NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF IN THE ONLY WAY THAT MAKES SENSE! YOU TRULY DO BELONG IN HELL WHOEVER YOU ARE
Absolutely No Tolerance Towards Animal ABUSERS n Cruelty. An eye for an eye fits this crime n should be the punishment. Paws Matter
Shut down that “Rescue Hole”. And throw them in the Freezer!!
THOSE MOTHER FUCKERS IN THESE FUCKED UP COUNTRIES SHOULD BE STRUNG UP BY THEIR SCABBY BALLS ON AN UPSIDE DOWN CROSS & LET THEME ROT IN HELL!!!!THING THAT REALLY & PISSES ME OFF MORE IS THAT WE SIGN THESE PETITIONS & NEVER GET ANY UPDATES ON THESE BASTARDS AS TO WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM. WE SIGN SIGN SIGN. WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO TO KEEP SIGNING IF WE DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENS😡😡😡😡
I don’t think that the petition makers have a platform to update the outcome, perhaps a new system could be built that would allow for this. If it helps I have seen the results of many of these abuse petitions signed on similar sites here in the UK and I am happy to say that they actually do work.
Death penalty for bastard abusers/killers, justice for puppies and other animals!
