Starving dogs Morley and Waldo were found in heartbreaking condition in Western Australia, despite repeated warnings and free help from vets. Their owner ignored every chance to do better, and even after being charged with animal cruelty, he only received a five-year ban from owning pets. Here’s the thing: temporary bans don’t stop repeat offenders. If someone lets animals suffer once, what’s to stop them from doing it again? Our community needs stronger protections—neglect is violence, and animals deserve real safety. Should bans be permanent for proven abusers? Let’s talk about what real accountability looks like. #Pets #AnimalWelfare #WesternAustralia
