Jail for man who abused puppy
12:10PM Wednesday February 27, 2008

A 36-year-old Napier man who kicked, slapped and swung around a puppy on its chain was jailed for five months yesterday.

Edward Hazel was convicted in Napier District Court of intimidation, wilful ill-treatment of an animal and disorderly behaviour.

The court was told Hazel was seen yelling offensive language at the six-month-old puppy as it hid under a parked truck on Boxing Day last year.

He then turned towards two women and their children walking along the street yelling obscenities, including "you want to watch this dog die?"

He picked up the yelping puppy by its chain and swung it around his head like an athlete's "hammer throw".

The collar came loose and the puppy flew on to a neighbour's lawn.

He continued to abuse onlookers telling them to "watch this" as he picked up the puppy and threw it at a house.

He told police he was "pissed off" with the women and took it out on the puppy.

I think there was a movement some time in the recent past to give great apes some human rights in New Zealand, to protect them from abuse. Did that ever get anywhere?

I'd oppose classifying them as human, of course, but I do think there should be stronger laws to protect them.

No it didn't , Once they found out the Doc woman allowed the Ape to breed with her, it put people right off

Skippy that's horrible that she would do that! Male chimpanzees are supposed to be very violent too. How scary!
