My Department has in recent years received a number of complaints in relation to the organisation named.  In addition I am aware of significant social media commentary in respect of the organisation. I would emphasise that all complaints received by the Department are investigated thoroughly.

The Department has had occasion to require the owner take corrective action where its inspectors had reason to believe that the welfare of animals may have been compromised.

The Department will continue to keep the organisation under review and on-going announced and unannounced inspections are carried out.
