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 idea of the state euthanising a dog because its owner couldn’t afford to pick it up from the pound makes me want to commit arson
