Canterbury Mornings

Chris Lynch spoke to Abbey van der Plas from Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue after the Christchurch City Council's animal management unit sent a letter to 159 owners of dogs classified as menacing – either by breed or because they have attacked or shown aggressive tendencies –  outlining the animals must be muzzled at all times, unless secured in a cage or vehicle. Dog owners are furious after being told they must muzzle their "menacing" pets even inside their own house.
