Meantime, back in NZ They're Still Playing Dirty Pool.
Even before the Mandatory Spay/Neuter bill is introduced in New Zealand, Animal Control Officers are targeting our breed and as always they are starting with those owners who were honest and naive enough to register their Pit Bulls as Pit Bulls. That'll teach Pit Bull owners for playing by the rules eh?
A Case in Point:
An owner with two Pit Bulls has been targeted, and at first told that one dog must be neutered because there are two Pit Bulls on the property. On a subsequent visit this owner is now told that there is only to be one Pit Bull per household, and ordered to get rid of the second dog - a puppy - within just two weeks. These visits have not been as the result of complaints or any offending on the part of these dogs, but simply as a result of the fact that Animal Control are aware that they are Pit Bulls.
This owner has caught Animal Control staff trying to entice the dogs off their property, and caught them out acting on a barking complaint that can't have happened as the owner and dogs were out of town at the time. Nasty.
We will keep you posted.
Please contact us if you are having problems with Animal Control.
For an ugly preview of our dog's futures in NZ go to KILL-FEST. This will happen if we continue to sit on our hands and allow the ignorant anti-pet people in government to continue on their present path.
