I hope the poor boy finds a wonderful home. Is he ear branded? Are trainers / owners allowed to dump their greys at a pound like that? Isn't there some sort of penalty/punishment for not looking after a grey properly (thru GRNSW etc)

That is appalling the authorities should be able to trace back the owners through the ear brandings surely or GAP must be able to do this small thing its not difficult is it? and then prosecute. What does it take to get these low life's out of our industry.
Hi Jen we buy one of their calendars every year and they are excellent with great photos, you do a great job Ann.:):)

After reading this and watching the You Tube clip, I just couldn't close the page without saying to myself; "I can help".
Ann, my partner and I have donated $100 for AMOS via bank deposit. Please accept it to help out with anything to do with the poor bugger. Credit to you and 'Thank You' to Jenny for bringing it to the attention of us; "animal lovers".
IMO forget what his past has been like, the person who did it, and any negative thoughts towards AMOS' history. He is in a better place now, that's for sure........only look forward, and please keep us updated.
Cheers Rob
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!
