Rob Scott: Southland mayor on the council's crackdown on irresponsible dog owners
Manage episode 445543243 series 2098282
Southland District Council is clamping down on bad dog owners.
Its infringements issued to those flouting the rules in the past year have risen by nearly 50 percent - to 150.
Many are attributed to unregistered dogs and biting is a growing issue.
Mayor Rob Scott says staff take dogs from owners as a last resort, but he hopes infringements have taught people a lesson.
"And for those that don't - we've actually got to look at their ability and if they should be owning a dog. Because they're letting the side down for everyone."
