Further calls to deal with dangerous dogs after fatal attack
There's further calls for more to be done about dangerous dogs, in the wake of Tuesday's fatal dog attack in Northland. 62-year-old Mihiata Te Rore was killed by a pack of three dogs at a property in the small town of Kaihu on Tuesday. It's prompted calls for change from as high up as the Prime Minister, while RNZ has been contacted by multiple dog attack victims who've shared their frustration at what they say is a lack of action by authorities.
