An animal rights group is offering a reward for information
on two dogs that were slaughtered and dumped in a Canterbury
sewage water reservoir.
The dogs, a six-year-old brindle boxer and a 10-month-old
American bulldog, were stolen from their owner's Otematata
home, 90km northwest of Oamaru, on February 28, the Timaru
Herald reported.
Their owner, Tara O'Reilly, said she would not rest until the
culprits were found.
Miss O'Reilly had contacted animal rights group Paw Justice,
who were offering a $2000 reward for information.
The group's founder Craig Dunn said the dogs were bludgeoned
to death by "psychopaths".
"It's a very small town so hopefully someone will know
something...We've actually got these little psychopaths
running around and we have got to get them off the street."
Police were investigating the incident.
