And if you check the replies under these posts, 98% are calling for the VIC premierās head and demanding a change of government. These groups are basically campaign tools for Dutton. Beyond that, the posts are just āold man yells at cloudā energy. #auspol

In my town - Cheltenham, Victoria, which is a part of greater Bayside, there was a group popping up on FB about 3-4 years ago called Bayside crime. In this group people post all sorts of crimes or crime related activity. Which is fine. But many started questioning weather these reports are all true

This is not just about compensation; itās about ensuring this never happens to another family. Bindi deserved better, and so do all our pets. Thank you for your kind attention! #petindustry #animalrights

Nothing will bring back the love of our life, our baby our whole world. Nothing will console the trauma we feel. But there has to be some system for repercussions. I want change in the pet industry, change in legislations.

In subsequent emails, he said there was nothing on the CCTV recordings which I am not buying. In subsequent emails he also now trying to redirect the narrative that Bindi was not closed in her cage. Our family is traumatised and cried the whole 24h along the way home.

At the time I did not check the cage as I wanted to spend the limited time left with my baby. When we left, I already felt anger as I know this was a preventable death. I asked for CCTV recordings, be as painful it may the manager said that they canāt see the area Bindi was in but he will check

The manager was waiting there early and by the time we got there Bindi was placed in a separate room on a different bed (to have an intimate space to say goodbye) He also told us that she was found in her cage dead and wanted to show the cage so I can see signs of possible struggle.

At 5am the manager called me with this horrible news. In this conversation he said she - Bindi was found dead in her cage.
In agonising pain we redirected our uber and rushed there for their premises to say goodbye to our poor little baby.

which was ample big for the travel but not for a night sleep and we never imagined that they leave and lock animals in their cages for the night. She must have stressed, likely panicked trying to get out and overexerted herself. By the time staff returned at 4:30 a.m., she had passed away.

What we did not know and they have not told us, that for the night, the animals were left unattended. The last person left at 8:30 apparently. There were other 4 puppies in separate kennels and some cats. No night guard, no supervision. Bindi, locked in her travelling cage -

Bindi and our cat were picked up on the 26th for their vet check, a day before our flight. They were declared healthy, and we were sent a photo of Bindi happy and playful. This was her multiple occasion to check her health before the flight. I calmed down, trusting the system.

Despite my thorough communication and detailed instructions, in our opinion their negligence led to the preventable loss of our beloved Bindi.
Hereās what happened

Our story is one of heartbreak and anger. We trusted a professional pet transport company, (name withhold, but one of the biggest in Victoria) , to ensure her safe journey. The cost and their reputation reassured us, as we had previously used them with other breeds of dogs without issue.

she does not suffered of any of the regular bully health issues such as heavy breathing, narrow airways and so on and was never booked for BOAS surgery. All in all her health was perfect to take a big travel.

She was there for us through sickness, travel, and happinessāa constant source of unconditional love.
Bindi was happy, healthy, as checked and even stress tested by multiple vets before the departure. Her weight was at a healthy 27-28kg and we had regular exercise with her 1-1 h every day

I write this with a heavy heart and tears that havenāt stopped since we lost Bindi, our sweet Australian Bulldog, on the day we began our journey home to Europe. Bindi was not just a dog; she was our family, our joy, and our comfort for over 4.5 years.

So, here I am grieving. I lost my only true friend, my companion, my love, my life, my everything. My beautiful Australian Bulldog. No, it was not en route to Europe. She never made it to the plane. I am shattered and broken. Missing her every minute, every day.

3, just because something feels off of shifting media attention to this. And of course I feel sorry for the girls, of course I never wish this to anyone. But nevertheless, Australia, contrary to popular belief is a racist country with thick white privilege. #thaipoisoning #tragedy #methanolpoisoning

2, private Mentone Grammar. Has there been any national news coverage about her? Has any of the ministers cried while talking in parliament? Has the prime minister choked on his tears about her? She was a coloured girl, bullied in the very school she went to and otherwise lived in Noble Park.
