Inquiry ordered into dog's execution

DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) - Tanzanian authorities will investigate a controversial ruling by a local magistrate who sentenced a dog to death because its owner had named it after a government department, the Daily Mail said Tuesday.

The privately-owned newspaper said a powerful defense and security council committee in Rukwa, western Tanzania, will investigate the death of the dog "Immigration."

Magistrate Onesmo Zunda ordered the one-year-old mongrel to be hanged, ruling that its name was insulting to the government department concerned. The dog was later reported to have been shot by police after an appeal was rejected.

"It has become a disgrace to the region and the nation," the newspaper quoted senior regional officials as saying. "It has become of international interest with people asking questions from as far away as Britain and South Africa."
