Sadly the SPCA have shown a disinterest at the moment about the antifreeze one but it is being worked on.
Please be extra vigilant and report all of these offenses to SPCA and police under the Animal Welfare Act 1999 (refer photos for WILFUL ILL-TREATMENT OF ANIMALS description and penalties).
Please also post these acts to this group as we will be collating these offenses.
THIS IS ALL ANIMALS, NOT JUST CATS - Please share all as this needs to stop!!!

After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
