There are calls for a thorough investigation into the contractors supposed to recover the bodies of pets killed on Auckland roads, after revelations a worker threw a dead cat into a ditch instead of taking it to a welfare centre so it could be returned to its owner. The remains of what appears to be other animals were also found at the site. After Rebecca Jelley discovered her cat Muffin had been killed by a car, she contacted Fulton Hogan to get the body back for a proper farewell. The plot took a number of twists, but GPS coordinates from a Fulton Hogan truck eventually revealed the true story. "It ended up that they believe the employee threw her off a cliff, as they had said, which we weren't too impressed with," Jelley told Checkpoint.
