New dog pound to prevent owner break-ins

Keeping out the owners of unruly dogs is proving as big a battle as keeping in their troublesome hounds for Paraparaumu's dog pound.

Kapiti Coast District Council plans to build a new pound with improved security, partly to prevent further break-ins by owners attempting to spirit their dogs out of the district.

Council community assets and services group manager Rob Williams said a more secure dog pound should be built within the next financial year.

"The council's low-tolerance approach to dog owners flouting the new Animal Control Act has led to more dogs impounded, but our security needs to be increased to keep their owners out and safer conditions are needed for staff," Mr Williams said.

(...) Over the past 12 months 700 dogs have been impounded.

The more rules you make, the more society (ie tax payers) have to pay.

You only get compliance if people believe that the rules/laws are fair. Obviously they don't. Who are the ones that make the most percentage of incarceration (we are talking people here)?

If that wasn't clear, what is the crime that puts most people in jail? and what is it related to?
once you get those answers, then you'll understand which laws don't work and need to change.
