New Zealand council wants to dig up dog’s grave to prove it’s dead



My Reactions:

It is a very special article for me. I don’t believe this case could happen on the world. This article talk that a dog killed a protected fur seal on the beach in New Zealand. Therefore, the dog had to be killed by the national law.

In order to protect the dog’s life, the dog’s host told a lie. He said that after his dog killed the protected fur seal, his dog died of a kidney infection and then he buried the dog’s corpse in the back yard. Of cause, he finally was found out the case of false pretenses.

I feel the dog’s host is very poor. The dog’s host not only had to pay NT$21,400 for this case but also lost his dog because the dog was sentenced to be destroyed.

I think he loved his dog so much, thus he decided to tell a lie to protect his pet.
He refused the police officer to dig up the grave of the dog to prove whether the dog died, so now he might be appealed by the Council official. (186words)
