A woman in New Zealand was feeding her dog, named Nuggi, eight to 10 pieces of chicken a day, on top of dog biscuits. - NEW ZEALAND SPCA
WELLINGTON: A court in New Zealand has sentenced a woman to two months’ jail for overfeeding her pet dog to death. The dog, named Nuggi, weighed 53.7kg when it was rescued in October 2021 – having been fed by its former owner eight to 10 pieces of chicken a day, on top of dog biscuits.The Manukau district court in South Auckland sentenced Nuggi’s owner to two months in jail and ordered her to pay a fine of NZ$1,222.15 , according to a July 24 statement from the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals .Neither the owner’s name nor Nuggi’s age were mentioned in the statement.
“Nuggi was being drastically overfed and, instead of seeking help or amending the behaviour, his owner continued to overfeed him until he could barely walk. This is unacceptable,” said Todd Westwood, chief executive of the SPCA. When Nuggi was taken by SPCA officers, it had to pause three times to catch its breath walking just 10m from where it was being kept to the rescue car.Its nails were overgrown. It had wounds on its belly and elbows, and it had conjunctivitis.But it died suddenly despite losing this much weight due to an acute haemorrhage from a ruptured mass on its liver.“Nuggi was easily one of the most obese animals we’ve ever encountered.
