Dog put down after family cat attacked

A Blenheim mother is upset that just one of two dogs has been put down following an attack on her family's cat.

Denise Spence said she and her 13-year-old daughter saw the two dogs attack their cat near Pattie Pl in Springlands earlier this month.

Marlborough District Council animal control says the older dog has been put down and the younger dog classified as menacing, requring microchipping and a muzzle. However Mrs Spence says it should be put down. The dogs had already killed two or three cats in the area, she said.

"It's just not on. I want to get another cat but it might be killed. It could even be a kid next. I find it a bit strange both were not put down after the second time."
