Dog attack in Milford sat 2nd January
Please be aware there 's a smallish build dark haired woman who was walking a german shepherd or Alsatian dog on Sat 2nd along beach road by the Marina. She did not have control of her dog who lunged at me and I got a nasty bite on my elbow. It was extremely painful and I was told the pain was due to the bite being into muscle and on bone and a joint. Apparently high risk of infection and a dog bite made it more to dog bite. I was in shock from the attack and pain and this woman insisted I only had a scratch. there were four puncture wounds from the dogs teeth and a massive bruise. Not only did this woman deny what happened but another one came across the road with her entourage and asked me very rudely why I was crying as I only had a scratch. When I said to her How dare you decide how painful this was she became abusive and told her friends not to bother with me because I was cuckoo. These two women need to be held to account for their atrocious behavior and I was left on the street severely distressed and crying with the pain until some decent people came along and saw my distress, the wound as well as offered assistance and support. But mainly I want people to be very wary if you come across this person because her dog is stronger than her and she can't control it.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
