Canine carnage follows children's prank

School children playing a prank are being blamed for the carnage that followed when a gate was left open and three rottweilers got loose.

One rottweiler, Snoop, has already been put down and a Christchurch District Court judge today ordered the destruction of the other two, Zephyr and Minx. MORE>>
