Evidence from an alleged greyhound grave goes missing

EVIDENCE relating to an alleged greyhound burial site in the Hunter Valley has been removed prior to the conducting an into the matter.

The RSPCA headed out into bushland at Swan Bay, of Newcastle, on Monday following reports that bushwalkers had found over the weekend what appeared to be at least seven skulls which looked like they came from dogs.

The and bushwalkers were quick to conclude that the area could be a possible greyhound burial site, despite forensic analysis not having been conducted on the remains.

“We saw skulls with blunt trauma on top of their head and the more we walked we found more skulls with blunt trauma,” bushwalker Bobbie Antonic told the ABC.

“It's pretty sad. Swan Bay is a pretty quiet area and to know that someone has clearly greyhounds… and there's a hessian bag and there's a tarpaulin as well and so there are more bits and pieces in that as well.”

However, when RSPCA officials arrived on site on Monday morning, inspectors could only find one skull.

RSCPA spokesperson Scott Myers told the ABC that the remains showed the dog had a fractured skull, but the breed was yet to be determined.

“They appear to be canine,” Myers said.

“To be what species, whether a domestic dog or a greyhound, I couldn't comment.”

The RSPCA were said to be disappointed that much of the evidence had gone missing.

“It appears the large amount of stuff that was reported yesterday has been removed, which is really unfortunate.

“Obviously whoever saw the news last night or social media was tipped off in relation to the police and RSPCA's involvement, or that the police had been informed.

“It appears the remains have been removed.”

RSPCA Chief Inspector David O'Shannessy said the incident would be fully investigated and urged anyone with information to come forward.

The alleged finding of the remains comes just over a month after the Baird state government announced its intentions to outlaw greyhound racing within New South Wales as of July 1, 2017.

The Greyhound Racing Prohibition Bill 2016 was introduced to Parliament last week, passing through the Upper House despite not having the support of the Labor Party, the Christian Democrat Party and the , .

It is expected to go before the Lower House next Tuesday.

If the law is passed it will become an offence to race greyhounds within the state as of July next year, with those caught organising greyhound racing facing up to one year in jail or an $11,000 fine.

What is the penalty  for exercising a greyhound ? and most will chase anything, so solo around Cessnock which is no longer a race track does not constitute racing ? Am i right or wrong !

The ABC has really gone to the dogs hasn’t it- this morning it  was mass grave from Bobbie the bushwalker who apparently part times it as a forensic scientist specialising in canine anthropology and blunt force trauma  and this afternoon a hessian bag and  tarp go missing “evidence” of a evil band of greyhound people hiding evidence. What about animal activists planting a couple of skulls? This is getting unbelievable.

BobWhitelaw Absolutely Bob, these dogs need exercising and a walk in the park (and they love it) does’nt do it and is 100% recreational.  Are we going to cop an ,000 fine for hand slipping a greyhound?

The difference between exercising and training needs to be defined.

  That does not mean i’m giving up Deborah.

Deborah555 Smells of a setup to me Deborah.  Similarly, Grants life has been threatened in Orange,  the perpetrators going to court on Sept 5th.  Lets hope the prosecution can determine whether or not this was a Baird / Grant setup also.

jesus bloody Christ..another social media grabbing headliner in the form of a fat activist whose sole purpose is to keep attention on herself,as indicated by numerous topics found on her. anyway,apart from the look, at me,look at me syndrome she suffers from, here is a classic case of crap at the highest point of a pile. firstly,how many do a walkies in the bush or anywhere for that matter,without the old trusty mobile phone in the bum bag? today, not many at all. so no one in the walk group had a mobile,that more than likely has a camera facility? point… Read more »

 What about the phone threats to Grants office in Dubbo last friday ,the police acted swiftly and arrested to people the next morning. Now the same sort of threats were made to me from the son of a former official of the industry . Yep it took 12 months to arrest this person ,They have the hide to say its not a class thing  us and them,well why did Grant get away with asking a old bloke to come around the back of his joint (it wasn’t for cuddle )

lone widow Deborah555  Yes apparently they have Bobby the Bushwalker doing their forensic work now the other mob had university degrees and expected to be paid- why bother when you can just ask Bobby the Brilliant whose scientific observational skills are clearly evident ” Bits and pieces”  and she just wants 15 seconds of fame- cheap really.

BobWhitelaw Deborah555  I notice his good buddy Baird is no where to be seen Baird made the decision via Facebook on his own, then  used Grant and now he’s off to Church letting Grant get the dog doo off his shoes by himself. With friends like that you don’t need to worry about making enemies. Newson has practically disappeared off the face of the earth. Must have figured out now it’s all turned to shit Baird will not be providing him with a cushy job somewhere he might have decided the job he has might be it. Baird used McHugh as well… Read more »

lone widow Deborah555 ……after finding out who the person was who made the threat,or one part of the threats,GRANT would not dare step behind any shed to take him on. apart from NOT BEING AN OLD 67y.o, the bloke was half that age and fitter and has ,well lets say,some nasty connections!!!

look,no matter how much we get peed off,we cannot take the laws into our own hands,regardless of the situation.

the fight is not over by a long way,and PARLIAMENTARIANS do have habits and records of being caught out on slip ups. we will get our day in court.

DONT LOOK BACK, LOOK FORWARD.

the world is changing in so many ways,and as an industry,our ways also need changing. we have to accept we are our OWN KEEPERS OF THE FLAME,and sometimes,officials included, have let that flame puff out,and only re-ignited it when it best suited us. so as I have said before, we have lost the fight early, BUT WE HAVE NOT LOST THE WAR.

Breaking news from the ABC- Bobbi the Bushwalker  the NSW government’s self appointed forensic expert in canine anthropology is continuing her hunt for the missing 97,000 greyhounds. After spotting a kibble bag in the bush Bobbi alerted the authorities who found nothing but she said despite this setback and evil greyhound people getting up  in the middle of the night to hide evidence she will continue with her quest.

When asked by a reporter not from the ABC how she thought some bits and pieces, a tarp and a bit of hessian and a skull, that has not been determined as to its type by experts, -was evidence of mass anything -Bobbi said “please explain”

Meanwhile back at the ranch the Animal Activists are pissed off that one of the two skulls they planted has gone missing, Mr Grant has Dubbo crim-safe screening  people on the job and every National Party person is worried about their seat and a few liberals  who know without them they would not have won the Federal election. Much to the delight of Glenys those donations to  AA just keep rolling in should keep the gals in overseas trips for quite some time to come.

Failing that let’s arrest anyone who speaks out. Yes we can accuse them of anything an ABC reporter said as long as we put alleged… Read more »

Julia Baird from the ABC denies speaking to Mike about any of this- she says she has not spoken to him since he ripped the head off her barbie doll (when they were kids)because her and Ken were not married in the Anglican Church.

If your looking for  mass grave sites  that contain dogs go to any Council tip,  and the largest contributor to these sites are the RSPC? ,that’s the advice coming out of local government bodies because its all documented in there land fill sites.

BobWhitelaw  Perhaps they could put a few walking trails thru the council tip save Bobbi lowering herself down gullies and she wouldn’t need to plant anything. This smells of desperation to me Bob. Apparently she was cycling now must be fit or maybe you are right planning on dumping some rubbish herself and got caught. Oh no we are not dumping stuff we are on the hunt for mass graves. Who are these people? And even sadder why do they get air time. Did they check for truck tyre tracks you would need one to remove a “mass” grave.

BobWhitelaw  I thinks so Bob – now it’s she was cycling – what up a gully? Yeah- how about no we were not dumping anything we were looking for mass graves because we love greyhounds. We should all be able to avoid tip fees using that line for a while.

BobWhitelaw  Yes I was going out to the tip this afternoon to pay fees on top of my council rates but I might just dump it on the side of the road and if I get caught I’ll say I was looking for mass greyhound graves and the greyhound people dumped all this rubbish and stole all the bones.
