Penguins killed by dogs

Angry conservationists have vented their fury against the owners of dogs that are killing little blue penguins.

Dogs recently killed three adult birds and dug up four burrows on Camerons beach, south of Greymouth. (...)

Cotton said with recent bad weather, dog owners might have simply released their dogs to roam the beach unaccompanied.

From paw prints, volunteers believed two large dogs were responsible for the recent killings.
