Dog laws get shake up
Dog owners could be facing new rules and regulations after a governmental review of the Dog Control Act
The North Shore City Council is preparing a submission supporting most changes suggested in the review but veterinarians say the current act should be enforced first.
The New Zealand Veterinary Association president John Maclachlan says the existing act gives local authorities effective tools to deal with errant dogs and their owners.
"Wouldn’t it be a logical first step to ensure enforcement of the current regulation before we leap into introducing yet more measures that may be similarly inconsistently applied," Mr Maclachlan says.
Public submissions on the discussion paper on improving public safety close on March 31.
