Justice for the pets killed in Boarding Kennels and Cattery's in Australia.
- by: Jayne CVETANOSKI

Boarding Kennel and Cattery Reform Australia was formed to fight for regulation and reform in the Boarding Kennel and Cattery Industry due to 5 recent Dog deaths in NSW and 1 in Queensland.
Baron a greyhound, and an unnamed Beagle were killed at a Pet Resort in Fullerton Cove NSW , their Autopsies have been done and the results are pending.
Annie a little Bichon Frise was mauled to death at a Kennel in Cooranbong NSW.
Hans a Rottweiler was killed at a South Coast NSW Kennel.
And Costa the Boxer was killed at an Armidale NSW area Kennel.
Ruby the Boxer died Jan 14th 2017.
Currently in NSW and around other Australian States Boarding Kennels are not being properly overseen.
We ask for Animal Welfare agencies like the RSPCA to get more involved in the Kennels and undertake inspections of these Kennels regularly.
Kennels in NSW at the moment only have to adhere to local Council DA guidelines.
And that is not good enough!

Recently in Newcastle NSW - there have been three dog deaths.

We the undersigned people want to see changes made across the board in all NSW Boarding Kennels, and through this we would like to see the RSPCA in other Australian States follow their NSW colleagues lead.
Kennels at the moment only have to adhere to local Council DA guidelines and this is not adequate enough.
We call now for a Standard Code of Practise to ensure a decent Standard level of care for animals in these Animal Boarding Kennels.
We note that the NSW DPI ( Dept of Primary Industries) have the following NSW Animal Welfare Code of Practice No 5 - Dogs and cats in animal boarding establishments, although it covers a lot this Code doesn't appear to be being followed by all establishments, otherwise Baron, a Beagle, Annie and Hans and Costa would not have died.
A Registry also needs to be established to record any animal deaths in the Boarding Kennels across NSW.
This Registry will allow for some peace of mind for animal owners and ensure accountability of the Kennels.
Thank you.
Since December 2016
