The Canberra Times has a story on efforts at the Domestic Animal Services pound (not to be confused with the RSPCA) to halt the spread of parvovirus by putting down seven dogs which have potentially been infected:
The canines will be euthanised this morning because they were exposed to another dog which had a confirmed case of the virus.
More than 30 other dogs at the Domestic Animal Services pound at Symonston have been quarantined.
This sort of ruthlessness is not going down well with the dog advocacy groups.
