Dog death shows depth of feeling

The death of a dog following the deliberate distribution of poison in the public area of Kaitoke Regional Park shows the extreme position being taken by some in the hunting community, Forest & Bird says.

Forest & Bird is calling on the Deerstalkers Association and other hunting groups to denounce these actions and to do all they can to assist the police in catching those responsible, Mr Hackwell says.

"This week extremist elements of the hunting community have shown their disregard for the law, for pubic safety, for endangered species and for the rural economy," he says.

The hunting community is doing a real disservice to their organisation. I can't even feel sorry when they kill one of their own... I'm sure that once they get a riffle in their hand, they become another person, and do things that they regret. And maybe not. I've never hunted, so...

What'da i know? I'm just a dog lover!
