Dogs on cat killing spree

Distraught cat owners around the northern area of Taupo are finding their pets dead - ripped apart by two dogs, usually in the early hours.

A lesson for cat owners... keep your cat inside, like they should, instead of your cat ripping apart birds!

In recent weeks at least five cases have been reported to Taupo dog control officers, who are now appealing for public help in tracking down the dogs responsible. Animal management supervisor Cherry Hewitt says all the incidents are believed to have involved a black cross breed and a tan crossbreed. (...)

On one occasion a man saw the two dogs chase his cat into the garage at 1am and when he checked it out, he found the cat had been mauled and killed. One particularly distraught resident is an elderly woman who had heard noises in her shed and, when she checked, found her 12-year-old cat had been ripped apart. Not nice...

(...) Anyone with information which could help identify the dogs is being asked to contact the dog control team at the council either on (07) 376 0627 or to call at Lake Tce office. The information will be treated in confidence.
