Police are probing the shooting and any link to an earlier poison threat note.

Warning: Distressing content A cat owner is “heartbroken” after her beloved pet Clyde died from being shot in the face in Mount Maunganui.

More than 800 dog attacks were reported to Tauranga City Council in the past five years – but fewer than 1% resulted in prosecutions.

A Western Bay of Plenty dog owner claims a veterinarian euthanised his dog without consent and despite his pleas to take the distressed pet home.

Vets say euthanasia decisions are guided by professional judgment, the law and ethics.

A $2000 reward is being offered for information that leads to the prosecution of the person who fatally shot a Mount Maunganui cat.

A neighbour heard a “massive crash” as a car hit a carport after careering across multiple properties in Tauranga last night.

Ōmokoroa fire chief Ian Blunt has spent more than four decades answering the call – from fatal crashes to house fires, saving people and animals, and medical emergencies.

The reward for information leading to a prosecution over the fatal shooting of a Mount Maunganui cat has doubled to $4000, with $1000 contributions from the owner and a Pāpāmoa man.

Rosalie Liddle Crawford has added $1000 to the reward for finding her cat Clyde’s killer.
