Auckland Council says offering a buy-now-pay-later service is having a "direct impact" on the number of dogs that don't get picked up from shelters.

I’m really not sure how to feel about this one. On one hand its great that less dogs are being put down. On the other hand people who got their dog impounded and couldnt afford $93 are taking an after pay loan to get it back. As someone who used to live in south auckland I feel like this is going to make the roaming dog problem way worse. If you’re getting your dog impounded and after paying $93 then you are probably not equipped to be owning a dog.

    The council have as many optipns to enforcement as afterpay.

    I dont think the council should be keeping the dog. Thats the whole point of credit.

    Yes, some. Options are shitry, but it seems they have chosen one of the shittiest.
