200 dead cats: one dog, one bullet
By TAMARA PENNIKET AND BRUCE HOLLOWAY has caught up with a night-time prowler which slaughtered more than 200 domestic cats during an eight-month reign of pet terror.
The animal control officer who has been hunting a notorious white staffordshire pitbull terrier-cross since cat killings began in Te Kuiti in March, yesterday shot it dead following a tip-off.
The beast, originally one of a gang of five feral dogs, was dubbed Te Kuiti's "ghost dog" because it was so hard to find, was never seen during the day and only ever killed between 1am and 3.30am.
Mr McLeod found the three-year-old collarless dog asleep in scrub on the side of a hill at the back of a suburban house. (click title for more)
