Why not a tasty slice of pooch pie?

Auckland mayor John Banks sounded remarkably sensible, when he championed the idea that a bloke who killed his dog and then roasted it in his backyard be educated rather than put before the courts.

The pooch-eating miscreant certainly does need educating. It seems the bugger doesn’t know the difference between a pitbull terrier-cross and an emu.

Paea Taufa was found cooking his pitbull terrier-cross in an umu pit at his Mangere home in February.
