Antisocial dogs get free extermination

Pakakura District Council has come up with a new way to get dangerous dogs off the streets - it's offering to put them down for free.

The council is to offer an amnesty to owners of dangerous and menacing dogs, allowing them to voluntarily hand in their pets to the council's animal control contractors to be put down humanely.

The euthanasia service, which normally costs $25 to $50, will be free to owners and people with unregistered dogs won?t be hit with fines when they hand their pets over. MORE>>
