Whistleblowers who told the RSPCA about conditions at a now-shut Tasmanian labradoodle breeding facility say they are in fear of being prosecuted themselves, with the animal welfare group announcing a review into possible charges.
Former workers at Tasmanian Labradoodles spoke to the ABC about what they were asked to do at the puppy farm .
It comes after charges against the owners of Tasmanian Labradoodles, Paul and Elizabeth Bartlett, were dropped by the RSPCA in July this year in exchange for the facility closing and the surrender of all its dogs.The RSPCA first brought 70 charges for overbreeding against Tasmanian Labradoodles owners Elizabeth and Paul Bartlett in early 2023.
These puppies were often born with medical issues that meant they were not compatible with life, or they developed severe health conditions later on. Documents obtained by the ABC have revealed that dogs surrendered from a labradoodle breeder in July were severely underweight and overbred.
