The CrueltyFreeShop newsletter thanks everyone who wrote to the mayor of Ballarat about the horrible conditions at the Learmonth puppy farm (Cruelty Free Shop Newsletter – October ‘04). The good new is that Animal Liberation Victoria's 10 year fight to shut down this, the largest puppy farm in Australia, has ended in victory with Ballarat Council announcing the farm will close at the end of July 2005. The misery is almost over for the dogs, but not for owner Ron Wells who has been called up before the Victorian Veterinary Registration Board and asked to explain cruelty and neglect allegations.
