A Waihi man has started an online petition abusing a local dog ranger in a bid to be allowed more dogs on his property.
Stuie Thompson has been given 14 days to reduce the number of dogs on his property, from four to two.
The online petition has grown into a hate forum where people have started attacking a local ranger.
Hauraki District Council CEO Langley Cavers says they've had four recent complaints about Stuie Thompson's dogs.
He says they're very disappointed someone has launched an online attack against one of their contractors.
