The wanker I spoke to told me if my dog strayed into forest it would be shot end of story then hung up . I rung back in a few choice words told him that unless worrying stock that's allegal . He told me it's what they do . A few more choice words and he hung up again . What a Fucken wanker . Anyone come across this policy ?

Sorry, but you are wrong about the “unless worrying stock,” bit.

Below is a cut and paste from the Dog Control Act 1996 . Note the use of the words in Section 52:

"..likely to cause annoyance or distress to any person or animal or damage to any property..." I am sure that "someone would be annoyed" . However, this clause does not give a right to destroy a dog, only seize it for impounding, unless the person acting is "....any constable, dog control officer, or dog ranger acting with the consent". I advise exercising caution until you know that the person “destroying,” is not one of these. (Especially seeing it is “Maori land”

The right to destroy a dog is given is Sections 59 and 60. Again note the use of the words,

"Where any dog is at large and is an immediate disturbance or threat to any protected wildlife,

and

".. destroy any dog running at large among that stock or poultry.."


Note, that once again there does not have to be any attack by the dog, only "immediate disturbance or threat " and "running at large".


EXTRACT from The Dog Control Act 1996

What a load of waffle! At large.... With the pine trees?
Immediate disturbance.... To the pine trees?!
Go in and feel him out face to face.... May just be what they say to everyone over the phone.

Those guys do mean it . I've had run ins with them before. They class it as poaching as its there forest

To you, what I post may be "waffle," but as it is is my understanding of the law, please feel free to correct me by saying where I am at fault.

They must be dumb fucks as what's point of shooting a dog . When if they catch it , they catch the owner , and if they where poaching trespass / fine whatever . There are some hard arse pig hunters and if you where to kill there dog and they got a gripe with there forest ? Who knows what they would do ?

Unless it was a serious issue, I would be worried what I would do if some prick shot my dog just because the law said he could.

The first guy was right... a dog cannot be legally destroyed/shot unless it is effectively worrying stock or wildlife. Pine trees are not stock. There is no power to destroy for annoyance of people...


If you are going to copy and paste law as rebuttal you need to read it..

Paul Stanley was it? if you are hunting the doc stuff you"ll be fine, you have a pointer right? Yould be really unlucky to see him up there, if you stick to the access routes that doc describe there should be no problem. you aren't supposed to walk up the road to the repeater on Mt Grey but I used to do it often just smile and wave for the camera. Leave the gorse and the pines for the dirty pig hunters

if there is due cause for shooting the dog, fair enough.
If not then their would be hell to pay.

probably best to keep away from that area if you value your pack. "best defence, no be there" Bruce Lee.
