The dogs lived with Mr Hargreaves, whose home is a truck in a 5ha old quarry beside a property owned by Russell Mendoza.


Whose home is a truck?


Quote:

Mr Mendoza arrived home on Monday to find his family's fox terrier pet dead. He said one of Mr Hargreaves' 39 dogs was positively identified as being behind the attack.


39 dogs and you live in a truck?


Quote:

After burying the terrier, Mr Mendoza went to Mr Hargreaves' property with a friend, armed with a .22 rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.


Thumbs up for style points. Accessories make you fashionable.


Quote:

Mr Hargreaves said he agreed to shoot the two dogs matching the description of the offending dogs.


It is always good to compromise.


Quote:

But he then also agreed to have the rest of his animals killed because, as he claims, he was under "enormous pressure".

Mr Mendoza and his friend then opened fire, killing 33 dogs in total.


Methinks large amounts of beer was involved.


Quote:

Senior Constable Barry Rose said a "pile" of dead dogs was peppered with rifle cartridges and shotgun shells.


Gun control is about hitting your target.


I had no idea New Zealand was like Mississippi in the 30's. I'll have to plan a visit.
