That stuff at the end of the video sounds particularly worrying where the 'doctor' links covid vaccine approval with state mandatesThis seems rather odd

what is a local or state mandate?That stuff at the end of the video sounds particularly worrying where the 'doctor' links covid vaccine approval with state mandates
Daily Mail said:According to multiple reports in the media on Monday, the council shot dead several impounded dogs, prompting a government probe into the incident.
They apparently shot the animals to prevent volunteers at a Cobar-based shelter 90 minutes away from travelling to pick them up amid strict lockdown restrictions.
On the face of it, this looks to be an awful decision and highlights the dangers of strict adherence to an ideology.

This isn't a criticism, but an observation (realistically we probably all have the same reaction to the thought of some dogs killed unnecessarily). But it is quite amazing that we can get upset about this, but we don't get upset about the hundreds of thousands of completely unnecessary COVID-19 deaths. Quite the opposite - no number of "lives saved" can be assumed to offset the inconvenience of a lockdown of your local coffee shop.
I wonder what this whole pandemic would have looked like if humans were passing on COVID-19 to their pets, and it was the dogs who were dying.
I know what you are saying, but I think you are missing the point.
It's upsetting because it was irrationally and stupidly done in the name of COVID, from which, many have been highlighting the dangers associated with such a mentality if taken too far. People can do horrible things if they are given the right circumstances to do so, and this has been seen all throughout history in war and times of calamity.
Yes COVID has killed people, but this was a deliberate act, and one made by morons. I think that worries people, because we know these types are out there, and in positions of authority. Who knows what other crazy things will happen in OZ.
Majority opinion now seems to be in the UK that what is happening down under is a disaster and an authoritarian nightmare. Especially since we have pretty much started to move on since we opened up. No-one cares anymore about COVID. And to see what is happening in OZ gives a stark contrast.
It starts with dogs. They learn to steel their hearts. Then........But do you not find it disturbing that the thought process of someone who's interpretation of covid regulations was to shoot dogs because they didn't want anyone to go and tend to them?
It's pretty damn extreme, and that is the part that bothers me so much because that type of decision making could expand in ways you really don't want it to.
They really didn't need to do that.
Euthanizing dogs is something that already happens in dog pounds, when a home cannot be found for them - in this case, a home locally due to travel restrictions (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ncil-LYING-homing-dogs-animals-shot-dead.html). Yes, it's a sad situation, but it's hardly a novel or extreme occurrence. I wish it could have been handled differently, but I'm not sure how you draw the line without creating equally or more heart wrenching stories.But do you not find it disturbing that the thought process of someone who's interpretation of covid regulations was to shoot dogs because they didn't want anyone to go and tend to them?

I feel like you are completely missing the context here, and missing the point I am trying to make.
They were only shot because they didn't want the staff to travel up and collect them. It wasn't because it was a normal situation e.g. the normal euthanising, but because of COVID.
I am not drawing any line btw. I am just making a point that the decision making process is terrible in this context. That is what annoys and worries me. You are reading too much into what I said and building up a little bit of a strawman to then knock down with the whole creating more heart wrenching stories. Like how would that even happen?
Enforcing travel restrictions by shooting dead dogs so that people can't collect them anymore is pretty weird and I've clearly laid out how I feel about that.

I find shooting - as opposed to the normal method of euthanizing - to be peculiar and somehow disturbing. I'm no stranger to guns, shooting and even killing, but in this context it is pure weird.I feel like you are completely missing the context here, and missing the point I am trying to make.

Months later all the stores are now open and all these same people are going to them. Not only that, we’re packing tens of thousands of people into sporting events etc. People went home for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Many of the people doing this were the same people calling me a murderer for my musings. And people were doing these things when the case load was much higher than it was in the beginning, when the strict lockdowns actually did occur.
