Not surprising coming from such a trash industry. We’re probably not even seeing the worst of the treatment these poor dogs have to go through.

Discovered this article from 2017 about the same trainer.

Cant believe that gutless worm Mike Baird backed down on the only positive action against this disgusting industry we've had in decades a few years back. It could have been a pivotal moment in animal welfare but he whimped out to secure a few more bucks and votes. Another Turnbull selling themselves out for short term gain instead of leaving a positive legacy.
