Second dog taken from home where puppy horrifically killed

SPCA staff in Dunedin have removed a young dog from the Stenhope Cres, Corstorphine, home where an 18-month-old Jack Russell was killed after being strangled, hit with a spade and forced to drink petrol.

The dog - a female 1-year-old fox terrier-Staffordshire cross named Shadow - was being cared for by the woman who owned Diesel, the Jack Russell killed in the prolonged attack on February 1.

"Legally, she couldn't be prosecuted . . . morally, she allowed the dog [Diesel] to be tormented. Basically, it all started with her.

"She couldn't offer supervision then. I wonder if she can now," Ms Saunders said.

Contacted yesterday, the woman - who would not give her name - insisted she was not a bad dog owner, but was trying to "start fresh". MORE>> -- read the bottom of the article -- and we wonder where our kids are learning this stuff.

    No shortage of trash in NZ it seems. At the bottom of the heap of trash we have people who think baiting dogs is a requirement for dog fighting. We have those whose who think forcing a dog to drink petrol is okay. Revolting children who torture dogs with vacuum cleaners. Girlfriends and wives too weak of character to do anything about it. We have people too dumb to assimilate themselves into a culture that does not condone dog eating. And at the top of this smouldering heap of human waste we have people who write news paper columns who then advocate killing pet dogs with hammers and eating them providing they're of the right breed and this is okay with our newspapers. Maybe we've always been filled with these types in NZ. Or maybe we are getting worse. It wouldn't surprise me.
