Episode Details

Auckland Councils animal management team faces backlash over a Shar Pei-cross dog named Jacket Dog, accused of cruelty in a viral campaign. The dog was impounded due to aggressive behavior and no owner claimed him. The council impounded a record ten thousand dogs last year, with only a third reclaimed. Staff prioritize public safety, often resorting to euthanasia for behavioral issues. Jacket Dog was humanely put down after failed rehoming attempts, sparking outrage and abuse towards the team. The real solution lies in responsible pet ownership and government measures like mandatory desexing.
