🚨 CALL FOR INFORMATION 🚨
RSPCA QLD and the Queensland Police Service (QPS) are investigating multiple incidents of swans being deliberately targeted by vessels on Gold Coast Waterways since January.

On January 18, several members of the public witnessed one marine vessel over the course of a week torment and purposely drive at swans on Lake Orr, Varsity Lakes. Nine other incidents of swans being injured and one swan killed were reported to the RSPCA during this week.

“The community will not stand for these deliberate acts of animal cruelty,” RSPCA Inspector Kyle Patrech said.

On March 5 at approximately 4:20pm, another swan was reported to the RSPCA as being purposely struck and killed by a marine vessel in a canal connecting Clear Island Lake and Lake Orr in Mermaid Waters.

Both deceased swans were collected by the RSPCA and the charity is assisting Gold Coast Water Police with their investigations.

Senior Sergeant Tony Nelson said investigations are continuing.

“The operation of vessels to deliberately target wildlife will be fully investigated by the Queensland Police and any offences identified will be dealt with through the judicial process,” Senior Sergeant Nelson said.

Anyone with information is urged to contact police.

To report animal cruelty, call the RSPCA’s 24/7 Hotline 1300 ANIMAL (264 625) or Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

I see SO MANY “service dogs” that are untrained, disruptive pets in a vest, simply because the owner does not want to leave the dog at home.

Not only are those owners being unethical and dishonest, they could potentially disrupt the work of an actual task-trained service dog, or even cause that dog to lose thousands of dollars and months or years or training with a bad interaction.

***************

Service Dogs are more than just any dog wearing a vest purchased online.

If your dog has not been specifically obedience and task trained and you do not have an ADA qualifying disability, then your dog does NOT fall under the protection of ADA law.

ESA (Emotional Support Animals) are NOT Service Dogs and fall under the guidance of the Fair Housing and Air Carrier acts and are welcome in your home with proper documentation and authorization.

Pets are NOT Service Dogs.

Puppies are NOT Service Dogs.

Dogs riding in grocery carts are NOT Service Dogs.

Buying an online "certificate" that your dog is a Service Dog, does NOT make it a Service Dog.

Dogs off leash and out of the control of their owner, are NOT Service Dogs.

Dogs trained for protection are NOT Service Dogs

Representing your dog to a business as a Service Dog and LYING, is FRAUD.

Educate yourself, do it well and do it right if you need a legitimate Service Dog!

MUSHROOM WARNINGS ⚠🍄

Recent weather has created perfect conditions for mushrooms and with an abundance of warnings on the news and over social media it’s easy to feel overwhelmed with information.

If mushrooms are popping up in your backyard the Australian Animal Poisons Helpline offers a mushroom identification service: https://animalpoisons.com.au/mushroomidentification

Removing all mushrooms in your yard is the best preventive step you can take. Mushrooms can grow very quickly so you will need to check your yard regularly.

While not all mushrooms are toxic if you suspect your fur-member has eaten a poisonous mushroom contact your vet immediately.

Signs of toxicity will vary but common signs might include:
▪️Wobbling or loss of balance – (walking as if drunk)
▪️Vomiting
▪️Salivating
▪️Yellowing of skin and "whites of eyes"
▪️Sleep-like coma
▪️Seizures

If you need us for any emergencies our hospital is open and our team is available 24/7 💜🩺
