11.01.2022 **URGENT HELP IS NEEDED** We have recently been made aware of an application for the development of two massive breeding kennels in South Australia! The...se two applications are for containment of up to THREE HUNDRED.....YES.......300 BREEDING DOGS!!!! These applications are currently open for public review and we NEED your help to oppose the applications for development! But we only have until 4pm AEDT on THIS WEDNESDAY 11th November 2020 to get all the emails in! ****WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP***** 1. Send an email to [email protected] 2. You MUST title the email "Objection to Development Applications 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020" 3. You can either copy and paste the email we have drafted below and in the comments, or tell them in your own words why you don't want ANOTHER puppy factory being built. 4. Sign off with your FULL NAME - we want the council to know that these are genuine emails of concern and opposition to the development. We only have two days to get as many submissions as we can in to let the Adelaide Plains Council know that we do not want another puppy factory making dogs lives miserable! Should you wish to view these applications they can be found at https://www.apc.sa.gov.au//applications-on-public-notifica COPY AND PASTE THE BELOW TEXT INTO AN EMAIL TO [email protected] Dear Mr Jacks, I am writing to you to express my objection to the following planned development applications that have been lodged with the Adelaide Plains Council: 312/311/2020 and 312/353/2020 I note that these applications are for the construction of 114 dog kennels with the aim of containing up to 300 dogs combined, along with construction of detached dwellings. I am sure you are an animal lover yourself so would understand that dogs are companion animals and need positive and regular human interaction in order to thrive - they should never be kept in cages like those proposed and forced to live in the elements - especially the extreme temperatures that are experienced in Two Wells where these developments are intended. I object to these developments for a number of reasons: 1. These developments are the definition of Puppy Factory Farming - the clear intention of these developments is to breed dogs in huge number for financial gain. I know of no ethical dog breeder who would even consider breeding this huge amount of dogs as they wouldn't possibly be able to care adequately for them all. 2. Puppy Farmed dogs are very often denied adequate food, water, shelter and bedding. Their veterinary needs are also often disregarded. Their mental health and stimulation is almost always disregarded, and with such a huge number of breeding dogs they will be deprived of companionship, positive social interaction and adequate physical exercise. 3. There are already am excess amount of dogs available in South Australia, with the RSPCA, AWL and the hundreds of smaller rescue organisations finding themselves full to the brim with perfectly adoptable dogs. The proposal of breeding more dogs in such an intensive manner is only going to contribute to the already massive issue at hand. Tens of thousands of dogs are euthanased each year in Australia as a result of over breeding, which is absolutely disgraceful and should not be allowed to happen. I firmly believe these proposed developments will only contribute to this ever growing problem. 4. The breeds that are commonly found in puppy factories are often the breeds with the highest care requirements and largest number of health problems. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, French Bulldogs, Pugs, Poodles, British Bulldogs etc etc are commonly found in puppy factories and often live a life a life of misery as a result of inadequate breeding research and veterinary care. 5. The puppies that are born in puppy factories can be prone to behavioural and medical issues later in life due to poor social interaction and vet care,and have a very good chance of ending up in a shelter as a result. However, the breeding dogs that are used and abused season after season are the ones that suffer most - kept in the same cage their whole life with nothing but misery and their puppies get taken away from them before they are forcibly impregnated again and again. This is no life,it is pure misery. And with the numbers being proposed in these development applications I am seriously concerned that the basic needs of the dogs will be completely neglected. Please consider my opposition to these developments seriously. I know puppy factories aren't illegal, but I also know they are not ethical. As an animal lover and owner I vehemently oppose these two developments and would prefer the council encourage ethical dog rescue and rehoming instead. Kind Regards,

05.01.2022 Yes, Lucky Dumpling Market is a dog-friendly venue! We're happy for you to bring your pooch, provided they are on a lead, well socialised, and you clean up afte...r them. Please bring your own water bowl for your dog to drink from. We recommend dogs stay until around 7pm, after which the market can become busy and noisy for animals. This and many other useful pieces of information can be found on our website's FAQ page: https://www.luckydumplingmarket.com/faq : Helen Page Photography

02.01.2022 Dog courtesy doesn't stop at the gate. When you walk your dog please remember to keep him or her under effective control. Think safety first. That starts with w...ho holds the leash. If your dog gets scared and tries running away, is the person holding the leash strong enough to still maintain control? Please think of this before you hand over the leash. Safety first, for you, your pets and the community See more
