Boyanup sale yards. The WA Department of Primary Industries won't investigate due to insufficient evidence?! ❗️❗️❗️Video of a cow being shot multiple times has put further scrutiny on animal welfare standards at a controversial saleyard in Western Australia's South West.

Filmed from about 100 metres away on a mobile phone, the video shows a cow at the town's saleyards lying on the ground being shot three times by an unidentified figure.

Appearing to be shaken and in distress, the cow gets to its feet before a further two gunshots can be heard, before the animal falls to the ground.

The Department of Primary Industries says a video of a cow being repeatedly shot at Boyanup Saleyards is not enough for prosecution, amid calls for stronger animal welfare measures.

Rodeos are cruel. If you've ever witnessed calf roping up close, it's heart breaking. They are terrified, absolutely terrified, confused, crying for their mothers, only to be chased down and pulled at full speed by their throats like you see in these images. Cruel, disgusting, barbaric. https://www.rspcawa.org.au/news/major-rodeo-spruiks-calf-roping-but-wa-wants-it-banned?fbclid=IwY2xjawKqNQdleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHkVPAZr-PZckJJeGV7Pqp-y9ftfKUQByaL3U_L6cpkipOE-FWkRXCHIIqLZp_aem_Mm3mjdAoi-X_Vo1d9Aei3Q

Busselton couple Nathan Dekkers and Isabel Busher - accused of torturing a 14 week old Puppy will appear in Busselton Magistrates Court on the 15th of July at 9.30am.

The RSPCA are prosecuting the couple - the cruelty report was accompanied by graphic recordings of the alleged incidents. Loud hitting and smacking noises can be heard, along with the puppy loudly and repeatedly yelping and crying in pain and severe
distress.

Both accused can be heard tormenting the puppy by barking and growling at him and yelling threats to kill and injure.

In one of the recordings, the puppy appears to defecate mid-beating, leading the male accused to scream further profanities. In another, sounds consistent with the puppy being strangled can be heard.

Seven audio recordings were supplied to RSPCA WA in total. The puppy was not seen or heard following the final recording on 23 December.
