Jail emaciated dog's owners, says SPCA


The owners of a dog left to starve while they holidayed in Rotorua should be jailed, the SPCA says. I agree!

"This is about as bad as it gets," SPCA general manager David Lloyd-Barker said.

"She was about a day away from being dead."

Rescued on Christmas Eve after a tip-off from neighbours, the mixed breed dog dubbed "Eve" weighed just 10-kilograms.

Mr Lloyd-Barker said Eve had been abandoned by her owners for at least a week but estimated she had not been feed for up to four weeks. MORE>>

    I agree with the SPCA.It sickens me when I see animals been neglected and abused.The sentence should be longer then 6 months and then they should be made to clean up after the animals for a year or more under strict supervision.I know what I would like to do to them.Thanks to you wonderful,beautiful people, EVE has a second chance.

    Thank God for people like you that poooor animal I agree with previous comment some people just don't deserve to have pets and should never be allowed to. Animals don't have a say they are soooo precious. Cheers
