Copy and paste if you don't have time to write your own letter-
Dear Mr Griffin,
Upon seeing the distressing footage made public this morning from inside the Geelong Animal Welfare Society I write to you as someone who believes in humane procedures regarding animal welfare. What I have seen is shocking and distressed me to my very core- please view if you will:

If you are unwilling to view the footage, it shows appalling amounts of unnecessary drugs administered to dogs in their last meal before they are left alone in cages, dazed and confused, unable to stand, walk or sit, vomiting heavily for hours through the night then being dragged to the killing room. What is most concerning about this is GAWS' complete ignorance of rehoming practises and donations offered, and seeming desire to simply kill these animals instead of giving them a second chance. The reason these dogs make it to the pound in the first place is because of owners who do not understand the responsibility of owning a pet, whether they are dumped there, or are lost without being microchipped and registered, or allowed to run away due to not taking proper precautions to ensure their security and safety at home. So why is it the innocent being punished in this situation? And why is it the innocent being corporally punished in this situation?
The cruelty at GAWS does not end there. Before they are killed, dogs and cats are kept in unhygenic environments riddled with disease like parvo, left injured and sick until "killing day" on Tuesdays where they are just killed instead of treated and attempted to be rehomed.
I implore you to please do everything within your power to stop this cruelty inside YOUR Greater Geelong contracted pound facility.
Sincerely,
SEND TO:
