Tragedy as Roaming Dogs Kill Family's Cat | Auckland News
Description
A beloved 13-year-old cat named Maggie was brutally attacked and killed by roaming dogs in Welcome Bay, leaving her family shattered. Her owner, Brad Maxton, and his 12-year-old son Mikey witnessed the horrific scene. Despite vets offering surgery, Maggie’s age and the cost made euthanasia the heartbreaking choice. The attack has left Mikey fearful of his own yard and sparked urgent calls for accountability. Tauranga City Council is investigating and has seized a dog linked to the incident, while urging residents to report any dog-related dangers. The Maxton family hopes Maggie’s tragic death will remind everyone of the vital need for responsible pet ownership and the risks unleashed animals pose to pets and children alike.
