Information Sought on Dog Taken Illegally From
Pound
height="301">
A Siberian Husky dog
taken illegally from the Thames Council Dog Pound last month
is still unaccounted for.
On the evening of Sunday 6
September someone forced entry into the pound and removed a
3-year-old, cream and tan coloured female Husky dog, known
as "Sky".
"The dog was being held pending prosecution for
allegedly attacking and killing lambs and sheep in the
Kauaeranga Valley area, says Steve Hart, Council Bylaws and
Compliance Team Leader. "We understand the dog was
selectively taken as there were 9 dogs in the pound at the
time and the Husky was the only one removed."
Considerable
security improvements, along with additional monitoring of
the pound after hours, have now been completed.
"We have
been also been in contact with the dog's owner about the
situation," says Mr Hart. "We need to have the dog recovered
and we're asking the public to help us with its
whereabouts," says Mr Hart. "Any calls or information will
be taken in confidence."
Anyone with information should
contact the Thames Police 07 8679600 or call our Council 07
868
0200.

Winston Peters is routinely described as the kingmaker who decides whether the centre right or the centre-left has a turn at running this country. He also plays a less heralded, but equally important role as the scapegoat who can be blamed for killing taxes that his senior partners never much wanted in the first place. Neither Ardern nor Robertson for example, really wanted a capital gains tax, for fear of Labour copping the “tax and spend“ label they ended up being saddled with anyway. Usefully though, they could tell the party faithful it was wicked old Winston who killed the CGT. More
New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
