    The SPCA says a prosecution sends a clear message about an outdated practice

    The SPCA says a prosecution sends a clear message about an outdated practice


    Carlo De Regla has been ordered to pay a $900 fine by the Christchurch District Court for docking the tails of six Jack Russell-cross puppies.

    Docking involves the removal of a dog's tail and became illegal in 2018.

    SPCA chief executive Andrea Midgen says there needs to be further public awareness about the harm and illegality of docking.
