          Not misinformation

          https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-10-07/sweden-denmark-modern…

          Europe acknowledge there are issues that needs to be assessed as it affects people's safety.

          US, UK, Aus too affected by politics and will go out of their way to stop any news that makes vaccines look negative. (They would look bad if they recommended the vax then later say it has issues or might get sued). Thats why in the news/facebook/youtube there isnt much content that show the vaccines in a negative way.

          • [Deactivated] on 10/10/2021 - 14:55

            @Chchnu: LOL. Keep drinking the kool-aid.
            Before buying into anti-vax hype, look at the real-world side effect rates. It's quite well studied already. Maybe activate the critical thinking portion in your brain.

        With such a unanimous response from other members, I'm hopeful that your capable of considering why folks think quite differently to you.

        Personally, I don't enjoy folks sinking beers n darts infront of a memorial which is a sacred place to commemorate real human lives lost. Other than that, "freedom fighters" is a term that I'd be using for folks in combat/actively defending attack. Idolizing folks without substantiation or tangible ability to bring forward change is an interesting take.

          Yes, those hard done by "Freedom Fighters" fought so vigilantly and bravely for what again?
          I'm sure those actual Diggers would have told them to STFU and put a damn mask on and get a jab. They would have laughed their arses off at the idiocy displayed today by those muppets.

        No need for freedom fighters here, everyone behaved themselves as they were told. Myself and the rest of Tasmania have been enjoying our regular scheduled freedoms for all of this year uninterrupted.

      from the reading comprehension i have learned in school, i think it's just cats and dogs, and not cats, dogs, and duece1995's rabbits.

    Fair enough if someone already owns a pet and falls on hard times. Unfortunately this will probably be for a lot of irresponsible people who are unable to support themselves without government assistance and selfishly decided to bring a pet into their home, which they also can't afford to provide proper care for.

      Wow. Yuck. So poor people on the almost lowest rate OECD welfare economic liberalism eugenics starvation rations who can't find work or can't work in this economy and are often isolated, vulnerable to mental illness, needing extra security, and wanting this most basic and ancient of human companions, are scum in your books. I don't think it's them, mate.

    "For Cats & Dogs" remove these words from the title to, offend, delight, amuse, bemuse, concern or annoy our OB readers!!

    • FlatulentFrank on 09/10/2021 - 19:13

      Having cats and dogs desexed saves the state money, less costs in running a pound. Council wildlife officers will have less call outs from residents wanting feral animals trapped. Feral cats/dogs are destroying native wildlife, the list goes on and on.

        I normally am happy. I have lived overseas where they are 20 years ahead with this program. No one can buy a dog unless it is an unhealthy purebred :-(

    • jjjaar on 10/10/2021 - 10:38

      It’s already happening. People are paying $2000 for puppies that within a year are needing surgeries to correct breathing or bad bones etc.

      We can’t have every single dog creating more puppies, and we can’t have backyard breeders and puppy farms, but there has to be something in between.

  • orangetrain on 09/10/2021 - 19:22

    First they came for the exotic animals and I stood by and watched the balls get cut off. Then I had the balls for dinner. Ask your vet what they can do for dinner!

    • FlatulentFrank on 09/10/2021 - 21:41

      Headtohealth is an excellent website that's got free support for a variety of issues.

      Think about this, we have mechanics for our cars - owe it to ourselves to have a head doc to keep us running correctly.

    Keep balls on your dogs, they look great! Not like we have stray dogs running around any more

    • ChaLuo on 09/10/2021 - 20:32

      Didn't know that the desexing procedure offered under this scheme involves actual/physical removal of the said organs

      • Jolakot on 09/10/2021 - 21:28

        For cats at least, desexing means they take the balls out, ours was incredibly concerned the first few times he went for a lick and found an empty coin purse

        No idea what they do with them afterwards though, and at this point I'm afraid to ask

  • Cheeper on 09/10/2021 - 19:29

    I understand desexing cats and dogs but why Victorians?

        Yes, the rest of Victorians had their cohones voluntarily terminated long time ago.

  • phluffed on 09/10/2021 - 20:14

    so the cats get de-sexed, and Vulnerable Victorians get dogs? Do we get to pick the dog, or is it assigned? This would have been great at the start for those without company!

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 20/10/2021 - 13:31

    Great idea and awesome idea by the Victorian Govt. Think of all the money they can save by not housing/euthanising unwanted pets in the future.
    Hopefully NSW does this.
