Fugitive leaves dog tied to kennel
Leo Gao fled Rotorua in such a hurry that he left his border collie Sam tied up in a kennel in the garden.
The Weekend Herald understands the dog was stuck for a week before neighbours realised what had happened and called the SPCA. MORE>>

Scum. Poor dog.
If that gets your goat, try this:

"Michael Higgins says the SPCA needs to take more responsibility for the increasing number of dogs in Tasman's urban areas by putting down more puppies"
Well, Mr Higgins, I just hope you get to come back as an abandoned dog desperate for rescue. Where do they find these people?
SPCA responds:
"The only dogs that the SPCA considered putting down were those that failed a temperament test or were of a dangerous breed".
Considering that the fighting dogs (so-called 'dangerous') are the dog least likely to bite you, the SPCA might need to look into their own hearts.
Google 'the pit rules' and see for yourselves. You have to be able to handle your dog in the pit. A pit dog who bites his handler is a dead pit dog. If that isn't culling for temperament, what is?
But don't they make ideal scapegoats to justify breed specific legislation?
All you have to do is serve up gut churning footage of pit fights and the public are in agreement: kill them all!!
Think about it. What use is your fighting dog if all he wants to do is bite you? It's not as though you just sling your dog in the pit (which is in fact a pen with sides just 30 inches high) and watch from a safe distance. Read the rules.
Where are the referees, cornermen, handlers, and punters at pitside on your plastic surgeons gurneys? Conspicuous by their absence don't you think?
Don't judge the fighting dogs by what you see coming out of the puppy mills or roaming the streets of South Auckland (or on the 'news'). That's about as reasonable as judging Maoridom by the sort of folk you might meet in jail.
thanks to the hype, the 'type' is too often in the hands of those not fit to have fleas, never mind good dogs to feed them on. Of course it will come unstuck for those poor dogs.
Shame on those deliberately demonising and vilifying the tragic fighting dogs for their grubby agenda. Shame.
And shame on the sort of people so self-serving and callous that they could bolt leaving a dependent, trusting animal chained to his kennel to starve.
It's chaining dogs that should be banned and raise a flag for potential abuse - not Pit Bulls.
