The death of Kaihu grandmother Mihiata Te Rore last month and two subsequent dog attacks in as many weeks has refocused attention on New Zealand's dog control laws. The Dog Control Act is thirty years old and this morning the government announced that it will initiate a review. Local councils and the SPCA are among those who have been calling for reform including increased penalties, a shorter prosecution process and the power to de-sex impounded animals. Minister for Local Government Simon Watts joins Susie Ferguson live.
