Dead dog run over many times
A dog which was run over on Middle Renwick Rd yesterday distressed a motorist and highlighted the need to keep dogs constrained, according to an animal control officer. or... maybe it shows the need to be more compasionate and stop when a dog in one the raod.
The motorist said the jack russell had been run over so many times it was almost severed at the chest. Its head was sitting upright, almost looking at him. Isn't that disgusting... no one stopped! To me, this article is about how uncaring society is becoming. Fast pace, can't stop nighbour in distress. Don't want to be involved...
He saw someone talking into a cellphone on the roadside and thought they were calling for help and because he was on his way to the airport he could not stop. However, the man said he could not believe nobody had stopped to remove the dog as it appeared it had been run over many times.
Senior animal control officer Johnny Joseph said the dog, which had apparently been hit by a tanker, belonged to visitors from Rotorua who were staying with friends in the area. He said there had been reports for the past two months of a small roaming dog, but it was not the dead dog.
Mr Joseph said that while in this case the dog had simply escaped the property, the death highlighted the need to contain dogs on properties or on a leash. Sheese, on dead dog and a blatant statement like this! It's as if they are looking for stories to put their morals on. Yes, of course it's sad that the dog ventured into the road, and yes the dog owners will be regretful, ...check the next paragraph...
People often had excuses as to why their dogs escaped, and animal control officers were not often thanked for impounding animals when they were only trying to keep them safe, said Mr Joseph. He said impounding them was better than having to clean up dead animals off the road.
Oh ha... here we go. .. the reason why we should be grateful for dog pound officers to throw our dogsin the pound, given 'em a 7 day leash on life, then 'too bad, sorry'! Or charging (what is it now?) $70 to get your dog out of jail. "But we were only trying to save your dog!" their excuses are.
I know of a few stories like this. The dog pound guy KNOWS who the dog belongs to, but do you think they'll bring it to the dog owners? Oh, no they have a point to prove and some mighty male/female egos to float... they'll bring your dog to jail. Why? so that the dog has a demerit point against him. So that the next time your dog is 'lost' (when in fact he's just sniffing the front lawn), they can charge even more money to release him, and YOU get the 'bad owner' sign put in front of your name!

The accident came just before the SPCA's annual appeal week, which kicked off today and focuses on reducing violence against animals and humans. (...) MORE>>
