\nAllegations that a Wondai couple have resumed “puppy farming” have been refuted by Biosecurity Queensland.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson told southburnett.com.au<\/strong> today complaints made against the couple had been “fully investigated”.<\/p>\n

“A Biosecurity Queensland inspector visited the property and found no breaches against the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001 had been made,” a spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

southburnett.com.au<\/strong> was contacted recently by a local resident who said complaints had made which had not been acted on.<\/p>\n

But the Biosecurity Queensland spokesperson said complaints were made in mid-2012 and investigated.<\/p>\n

“No further complaints have been received since August 2012,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

In 2011, the Wondai couple was convicted in the Kingaroy Magistrates Court of offences under the Animal Care and Protection Act 2001, including breaching a duty of care in relation to 246 dogs that were seized on September 9, 2009.<\/p>\n

They were fined a total of $15,000 and ordered to pay $20,000 compensation. They were prohibited from acquiring any dog for a year or more than three dogs for two years. No convictions were recorded.<\/p>\n

The RSPCA was tasked with finding homes for the seized animals, some of whom were pregnant.<\/p>\n

RSPCA spokesman Michael Beattie said the organisation ended up having to find homes for more than 450 animals.<\/p>\n
