“We have two adult kiwi bodies that have been mauled by dogs that we have personally picked up, but I’ve heard reports of others,” Mailee Stanbury, DOC Biodiversity Senior Ranger said. “It doesn’t seem like many, but these are breeding birds that have been taken out of the population, so one or two birds is quite significant. “If we’re picking up and finding the bodies in readily noticeable places it’s an indication of what is going on. “We don’t know how many kiwis are being killed out there.” DoC and kiwi protection group, Whenuakite Kiwi Care, are urging dog owners to take responsibility for their pets.
