NZ first are on to something with their bill for much harsher penalties for people who own dogs that attack someone, it happens far too often, and owners are far too casual about the damage a dog can do.

Also, good to see the same quotes you always hear after a dog attack. They’re such sweet dogs, this hasn’t happened before, they’re great with the baby, etc.

I’m sick of reading the same story every other year.

    The cops pepper sprayed the dogs.

    Kiwi cops pepper spraying dogs would because the dogs were being super aggressive or attacking if it were most other cop forces they’d have shot the dogs.

    Not the dogs fault, nor the cops… shitty owners however.

      The cops should have knocked on the door and asked the owner to restrain the dogs. They cant just enter a property and attack pets.
