33 dogs massacred in 'rifle-killing frenzy'

[Bounce001]

I was absolutely appalled at the photo on the front page today of the Herald showing the massacre of 33 dogs.

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10622729

I do not see the point of showing photos of dead dogs that had been inhumanely killed on the back of a ute and covered in flies. Photos of this nature are extrememly upsetting, especially to young children and any animal lover.

Why could this have not been placed further inside the paper with a warning of the content. If the News on TV has to do this, surely printed media should follow suit.

When I looked at the paper this morning as I ate my breakfast, I almost threw up and was extremely upset over this photo.

They shopuld consider the reactions of their readers and the general public who will see the newspaper displayed in shops etc.

This is yet another example of the Herald's inconsiderate and inconsistant reporting that makes me wonder why I continue to subscribe.

Terrible thing to happen. Let's hope they get to the bottom of it - it's not just the murder of the dogs, stand-over tactics and illegal possession of firearms shouldn't be encouraged either.

But seriously, HTFU! Having a sook about pictures in the newspaper? I hope you didn't read anything about what happened in Haiti recently (and is still going on), that should have made you want to jump off a bridge.

[nudemetalz]

It's just sad that the dogs got caught between these two dickheads and suffered because of their attitudes.

[FlangMasterJ]

This reminds me. Just watched this trailer for a doco called 'Earthlings' the other week. Still deciding whether or not too see it.

I must be a real softy, because my heart went out to that poor man
He described the dogs as his family
Very sad

[Swoop]

More to this story to come, methinks...

If the owner had to put one of his dogs down because it had attacked a sheep, what else was going on with the rest of the pack?

Mr Hargreaves, who kept the animals on his 5ha block in an old quarry, did not believe they were to blame. However, a day earlier he had shot one after discovering it had attacked a sheep.

Well, I sympathise with you. I too was effected at the dogs suffereing when I read the link.

However.

There is every chance that people who read this, and see the graphic images will donate more when the next NZSPCA collector comes.

While they looked well fed (thank god), with out regestration, then they have not had their hydatids etc done, they will be riddled with lord knows what, and 33 dogs, what the hell did they do all day?

Sorry to say, they are better off dead.

But not like that aye!

The point is, it's disgusting behaviour of the fucking media to plonk it right in front of the unsuspecting public and horrify them with it, when if said public knew it was about to be done to them there would be substantial objections raised.


But seriously, HTFU! Having a sook about pictures in the newspaper?Lots of people just aren't the same as you, and your statements only serve to make yourself an uncaring individual, just like the people against whom the original objection was raised.

There is only one solution to the media problem, and that is to not watch it. Turn the shit off and don't buy the newspapers. Watch them spread their poison to their non-audience then and see how they can make money out of that.

Thank you. I grew up on a farm and have seen many dead animals and am not exactly squeamish. But photos of this unnecessary slaughter is pointless and serves no purpose on the front page of a major newspaper.

Hopefully they will donate to the SPCA.

The dogs looked pretty healthy and well looked after. Hydatids dosing hasn't been done for years.

[Tank]

Why not - you need at least some basis of information in order to come to some informed view.

oh hang on - it all makes sense now.

Moving on - yep - not a nice photo (Im a huge dog lover and have three) - but the images are as other have mentioned not as bad as a lot of others out there. Haiti is a disaster beyond what we can fully understand. Yet - most of us have moved on from the images in the papers and on the news.

People have become desensitized - and it saddens me that people seem to get more upset over dogs than our fellow humans.

Note to say that the the slaughter of the dogs does not upset me - it does, but one has to keep it in context to a couple of hundred people killed and more starving to death by the day.

Perhaps we need more photo's like that to make us all throw up - perhaps then we can be more grateful for the nice lives we all have or kick us into some action to do some good and help people / dogs

The same fucking media which is merely catering to the current trend that people want more and more pictures of worse and worse happenings. I don't buy that for a second.


Lots of people just aren't the same as you, and your statements only serve to make yourself an uncaring individual, just like the people against whom the original objection was raised.

You are very much mistaken. The only thing here I truly don't care about is your opinion.

Yes indeed, close your eyes, stick your head in the sand and all the bad things will go away. And if they don't run to mommy and have a cry... The news media are merely reporting on happenings that they have analysed to be of public interest. While I don't agree with that practice, you can hardly blame them for wanting to make a profit.
And cutting yourself entirely off from the news stream is a really good way to become truly ignorant of what is going on in the world today - but I wouldn't worry about that now if I was you, I fear it's probably too late.

[PrincessBandit]

I read the first few sentences on the internet then decided I would be better off not continuing. Particularly distressing to me is that the statement that the dogs would have been terrified as this was happening. It's one thing to shoot an animal (where there is a need), but there is no excuse for inhumane. I was going to comment on mass slaughtering being highly objectionable, but then I guess there are times when even that could be considered humane if the animals are suffering already. Not to mention our meat market would be almost non-existent....
But back on topic, all this does is confirms that there are people out there for whom the words compassion has no meaning. Regardless of how justified this person felt in punishing the dogs or their owner there had to be a better way.

Bitching on KB isn't going to change anything. The Government set up the Advertising Standards Authority for a reason.

[Laava]

Yes there will be more to this story than has come to light. I do not agree with the herald publishing the photo, also the photo of 2 burnt bodies in Haiti, but that is within the censorship laws obviously. This guy has no legitimate reason for having so many un registered dogs on his property and the neighbour has taken exception to the whole deal and lost his rag. They are obviously both the types of people that have to learn things the hard way. Nobody wins except the general public who will no longer have to sort out this eventual dog problem as it would have been a problem sooner or later. IMO

moral of the story: dont bring a dog (or 33) to a gun fight.

Interesting thread really,my old dog Macs the best mate one could wish for so the news of this dog shooting pissed me off some then in reading this thread someone mentioned Haiti,yea its terrible but if i am honest ive barely given it a thought bugger me there thousands or so die from starvation the world over and theres not many that give a shite.Have we all become hardened to it?i dunno.Whilst having a swim this afternoon and watching my old dog set off to retrieve yet another stick from the water i did remind myself how lucky we all are to live in such a place,Well all of us South of Cook Strait anyway.:rolleyes

[The Pastor]

the tongan community is in an uproar! so much dog gone to waste!

2 sides to every story. How would you feel about living next to 33 dogs! wtf! These dogs obviously were not under control - they killed the neighbors dogs. He could of complained to the dog control, but like that would achieve much.

I'd hazard a guess that this wasn't the result of a 1 off event. - killing of livestock, attacks on children, lawn coverd in dog shit, barking all the time, desise, fleas etc etc

The dogs would of died quickly and in the photo you can see there are no massive gaping wounds. and the report did not state that they had found any alive.

[98tls]

WTF just caught the details of it all on the news,fuck em lock the pricks up and throw away the key.Wasnt even done humanely.My earlier understanding was that the dogs were neglected and as someone else earlier pointed out they may well be better off out of it.Doesnt seem that was the case at all.

That's a lot of assumptions there young RM. Will be interesting to hear the "both sides of the argument" shortly on Close Up.

[...] cutting yourself entirely off from the news stream is a really good way to become truly ignorant of what is going on in the world today.Neither will you digesting it on the internet and getting angry about it. All you will achieve is wreck your own self-esteem and take it out on some person you have never met.

There are lots of people who are stuck in the routine of searching for material to get angry about, and all we get is angry individuals doing nothing, because they are incapable because they are too angry.

Either go do something about it, or let it go, or don't read it at all.

You can't fix the world.

I think it was bad form of the herald to publish that particular pic. Shock journalism at it's worst. The herald used to be a good newspaper, lately I wouldn't even want my fish & chips wrapped in it.

[peasea]

Arf, arf, arf.

[Herman Jelmet]

and illegal possession of firearms shouldn't be encouraged either.

Who said the firearms were illegal?

[phill-k]

I love it you lot jump to conclusions long before the facts become public:
The only facts out there are these:
There were more than 30 unregistered dogs on the property:
The owner had already destroyed one as it had attacked someones livestock:
Dogs are pack animals, and their behaviour is learned:
They were dogs, not humans and whilst we love our pets they do not suffer from our feelings and emotions:
Shooting animals humanly is legal - as yet it has not been proved the shootings were inhumane:
Living on the land I am well aware that when you kill a beast/sheep/goat ect their paddock fellows hardly blink an eye, and will continue grazing around the killed animal:
The SPCA's performance on tv tonight was as bad as the heralds publishing the photo, whilst the sight of the dead dogs may well have upset their so called inspectors, they without proof condemned the killings as inhumane without evidence.

[98tls]

Dogs were pack animals,just like humans used to drag there knuckles on the ground when they walked.Things have moved on a bit and in my lifetime spent with both my own working and pet dogs ive no choice but to disagree,dogs dont understand english or any other language (no shit) fair call but feelings and emotion ive no doubt what so ever that they do.

[SixPackBack]

My missus works at the Hazzard county in animal control. If I hear any juicy goss I'll let yers know.

Feelings and emotion? do not make the mistake of placing upon our 4 legged friends human type emotion, even our concept of pain has been proved to be different in animals:

Do you have the name of the dog that told em so,love to meet him.Seriously though its probably a subject that we will have no agreement no matter what so will just have to agree to disagree.Theres an old Border Collie streched out on my couch (possibly it feels good),ex working dog that had an accident (involved a fucked up hip and at the time of the accident his reaction was similar to that of a human in pain) i for the hell of it turned around and gave him my best "wtf are you doing on the couch again glare" and he just rolled over onto his back in his best "fuck you" pose,maybe some dont but this one has emotion down pat.

[phill-k]

By whom...?

Ask any man of the land for a start, try a country vet, do some research on the net.

[Dave Lobster]

do some reasurch on the net.

I've surched and surched.. but can't fund anythung.

[phill-k]

Great post 98, we have a couple spread out indoors as well, easy for me to shoot any of our stock should they be injured or need eating, but with the dogs indoors if they were in pain, not sure I could do it - human emotion, a couple of animals in a paddock / the wild, ones injured the other will just abandon or perhaps even eat it, if not something else passing by will for sure.

[phill-k]

I've surched and surched.. but can't fund anythung.

Lets just say...(a wish list of sorts)

We put 36 Dangerous Bastarsds in a confined space and shot them to death....

Would there be such a public outrage??

Well, that was sort of my point. Don't get me wrong, I'm not lying sleepless at night worrying about the poor people of Haiti - but there's sure as hell no way I am going to get more upset about the unnecessary and inhumane passing of 33 dogs than I am about ordinary day-to-day inter-human cruelty. The NZ news media, besides not practicing proper journalism, is very much guilty of playing the emotion card - every hour of every day, it's always the same. Celebrities, cute kiwiana DIY stories and of course good ol' violence - the closer to home the better. If it involves fluffy animals that's an instant seller - fluffy animals or pelagic mammals, those seems to be sure fire ways of getting people all hot and bothered.

As I have a habit of saying: grow a fucking perspective - there's more to this reality than what we are being force-fed.


Neither will you digesting it on the internet and getting angry about it. All you will achieve is wreck your own self-esteem and take it out on some person you have never met.

I don't get angry, I get grumpy. Not with you though, we gave up a long time ago. Wreck my self-esteem, you gotta be kidding me. First of all you're assuming I have one to begin with?
I've never met you either, but I'll (I suppose this should really be in past tense) sure as hell let you know when you aren't making sense and if I don't agree with you. No way I am going to take anything out on you though, mostly because the infractions that will have to be passed down when you run crying to the mods just aren't worth it.


There are lots of people who are stuck in the routine of searching for material to get angry about, and all we get is angry individuals doing nothing, because they are incapable because they are too angry.

Que? :scratch: Even I would struggle to make up a sentence that convoluted...

Won't have to look long around your area I guess, HIDs on high-beam does seem to aggravate quite a few people.

Can't fix you either I'm afraid.

[Naki Rat]

Far more than meets the eye on this one, and by the behaviour of the ex-dogs' owner on Campbell last night there may well be a few social services that are (OR SHOULD) be involved in his welfare.

[Love my Bonnie]

Regardless of what preceded the situation, 2 ARMED men turned up at his home!!

Isnt that home invasion?
Just imagine if we all went round shooting things that pissed us off. (my ex would have been long gone!!)

The neighbours turned up armed because they were there to destroy the problem dogs as per the signed agreement. If they hadn't had guns then the slaughter would have been difficult and probably inhumane :rolleyes:

[Love my Bonnie]

Signed agreement

sounded like a lot of bollocks to me
From what I have read & seen he was preasured by the neighbours to sign the agreement.
He had been in contact with the SPCA, they were going to take a few of his pups.
Why then would he let someone murder his dogs
YES, I said murder
Didnt look like anything remotely humane went on there

[Love my Bonnie]

& before you dudes call me a "sheila" for being soft, we girls tend to be like that!!
I'm a bleeding heart liberal & fucken proud of it!!!

[Okey Dokey]

The ODT down here used a photo of the dogs'owner wiping (tears?) his face, and you could just see a bit of fur. Illustrated the article without being shocking/gross. Well done, ODT.

My sympathy was with the dog owner because I immediately thought "he is not all right in the head" Like the type of people who keep millions of cats because they "love" them, but can't see that they aren't actually able to cope with that number.

They weren't registered; why didn't animal control know? If they knew, why didn't they do something? Did the SPCA know? Why weren't they notified by concerned neighbours? If they knew, why didn't they do something? Surely someone must have been able to do something about this situation before it came to such a horrible ending.

[Katman]

Can't fix you either I'm afraid.

Oh, I don't know - I'm sure we could get him 'fixed'.

After naming the bloke yesterday in todays Harold they said he had to have his phone disconnected because of all the abuse.

The next paragraph they go onto say "Mr Mendoza and his wife run Home & Garden Wellsford, " Im guessing that that wont do them much good in the local community.

Of course there is worse happening in NZ. I deal with some of everyday at work. And yes it did upset me to see this picture on the front page. I feel sorry for anyone who wasn't as they must be so hard-hearted. Surely there are other photos they could have used. The SPCA staff that attended have been offered couselling because the scene was so horrific.

The Harold also stated that the guy runs a pet business so surely this could have been done humanely. Not by stand over tactics. They stated 33 dogs were killed. Most of these were puppies.

I have had dogs for years and they become part of the family and it is very hard when they go.

They dog that killed the foxy was not even identified. When I came home one day and my dog had been attacked on my section, dog control were powerless to act because no-one had witnessed it and nothing could be proven even though the neighbors dog had fight marks on it. I didn't call for the dog to be shot (only othe owners to be held responsible and cover my vet bill).

There is no way his actions can be justified. He should be strung up.

[scissorhands]

I used to rescue dogs (adopt to rehome) and have spent hundreds of hours in dog parks, usually doing a bit of butt sniffing myself as the owners in these parts are often very nice bitches.

I'm guessing he woke up to the situation, didnt want to pay $40 a dog to drop at the SPCA, and possibly face fines and other chargers, so signed the paper. Then after the deed with the media knocking, he portrays himself as a victim for the same financial purposes.

They were living in a steel cage and a truck wreck...... the shooters were saving the tax payer and SPCA money....

Were they pit bull crosses? Go to a animal shelter and 95% are pit bull crosses, thats got to say something?

What about factory farming? Has anyone ever been to a meat works and heard the moans? How many kiwi fishermen kill fish humanely with a spike to the brain?

How many times did these dogs make it to a dog park, beach walk, drive in the car. In truth life for many many many dogs is shit.

Hypocrites

[Swoop]

I presume that ALL of the dogs were micro-chipped?
The labour gubbinment solved all dog-attacks by legislating that all dogs be chipped. Glad that worked...

Was down the beach the other fishing and this guy had his three dogs tied up. They barked incessantly and never stopped.

This sad and sorry saga is a case of Boganism at its finest:

Bogan 1: Hey, your fucken dogs are really starting to fuck me off!

Bogan 2: If they're bothering you, why not get your fucken arse over here and kill them?

Bogan 1: Thanks for the fucken invite. I think I fucken will. Shall I bring my fucken rifle?

Bogan 2: No fucken worries. Fucken use mine.

Bogan 1: Cheers.

(Sounds of gunshots)

Bogan 2: How are you going there mate? Do you need a fucken hand?

Bogan 1: Yeah, if you could stop the fuckers running away I'd really appreciate that.

Bogan 2: No worries. Let's have a beer when you've finished and we can fucken clean up the mess later.

Bogan 1: Cheers mate.

C'mon Hitch yer giving bogans a bad name with that example, I reckon bogans are a tad better than that.

Now if you said "slack-jawed mouth-breathing, lack-witted improvident cretinism at its best" I may have agreed....
