Rangers on trail of dog after savage cat attacks

WAITARA pet owners are horrified after several frenzied dog attacks on cats.

Rangers have been on the trail of two dogs for six separate attacks on cats over a wide area last week.

They impounded one, an unregistered brindle mastiff female, but a black labrador staffie cross male is still on the loose.(...)

New Plymouth District Council enforcements manager Steve Crowe said some people would think the dogs were just doing what dogs normally do.

"But in this day and age we don't accept those sort of actions by dogs in any form or manner."

Someone forgot to tell the dogs that!
