Second dog to be put down

A second dog involved in an attack on a cat in Hamilton is to be destroyed.

Pit bull terrier Whetu and another dog – since put down – attacked the cat in Croall Cres in July, 2005.

Judge Neil MacLean, in the Hamilton District Court yesterday, found Toni Walker guilty of owning a dog (Whetu) that attacked a domestic pet, failing to keep a dog under control and not having the menacing dog muzzled.

Walker had pleaded guilty to failing to register and neuter Whetu but said the issue of the attack on the cat was a case of mistaken identity.

Judge MacLean ordered her to pay $5185 in solicitor's fees, court costs and for Whetu's feed for 13 months.
