Talk:Dog's throat cut in Cairns, Australia

Failed review

This isn't ready for review yet, as both the cited sources come from the same wire service (AAP).

As AAP's source seems to be entirely a statement or press release by the RSPCA, I don't know if there will be a genuinely independent second source for a synthesis article; in which case I suggest that Wikinews should choose not to run this story.

Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: I appreciate how responsive the author was to my previous review and comments as the story developed. This has taken so long that it is borderline newsworthy, although the interview with the vet was only published at cairns.com.au today. I hope that my subsequent edits are acceptable, and don't compromise my independence as a reviewer.

Law enforcement officers

Australian readers will be aware that RSPCA Inspectors have law enforcement powers. I added that as background for those of us who don't know that. My source is http://www.dpi.qld.gov.au/4790_8741.htm ( a summary of the Queensland Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 ). --InfantGorilla (talk) 14:56, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Edit

{{editprotected}} "was reportedly struggling to breath" should be "was reportedly struggling to breathe". Heavy Water (talk) 20:44, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
