Council in battle over dangerous dogs' fate
Kapiti officials will this week seek to destroy two pit bull-terrier cross dogs after an electricity meter reader was attacked outside a Paraparaumu house. I can't beleive that they dont want to hand the dogs to the council.These are the second set of dogs that ran to the meter reader. But perhpas there is something that I'm not aware of.
Kapiti Coast District Council hopes to have a court date by the end of this week seeking destruction of two dogs which, along with another pit bull terrier-British bulldog-sharpei cross, attacked the man outside a Makarini St property.

The meter reader had shaken the gate to alert the owner he was there and one of the dogs had jumped a fence. When a woman at the house came to investigate she opened the gate and two other dogs ran out and attacked the man.

"He was bitten on the leg and ankle, suffered cuts to his head and had some cartilage ripped out of his ear. His jeans were quite badly ripped, one sock was shredded and his shirt was covered in blood." MORE>>
