A Bigger picture about loss of wildlife

Jennifer from Waterloo

I feel for the birds but is not always the domestic cared for family loved cats, there are so many feral cats that have been abandoned by so called animal lovers. And the way some people try and cull the feral cats is call like air rifles etc. Just like down south where they encouraged young kids on a competition to kill feral cats and they killed a family member cat that was chipped and desexed. MOST ANIMAL LOVERS BRING THEIR CATS INSIDE AT NIGHT. Not just at 5pm but at least 7pm. Animals need fresh air and Vitamin D as much as humans.
Cats also keep the rat and mice infestation down and have co existed for years. Do we still have other predators and weasels out there other than cats.It is not the only reason our birds are dying we have poisons everyday sprayed on our trees and polluction. Also birds are eating our human food leftovers that are given or dropped. We as humans have taken alot of there habitats and food away from them. It is a cop out to blame one species, they obviously do not like this one and need to there homework and need to look at other factors

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Documenting the RiverLink Project around Melling, Pharazyn St and Marsden St

Tim from Alicetown

Kia Ora, Neighbours. For the last couple of years I've been documenting with my camera the changes in my area around the extensive work going on with the RiverLink project (Melling Interchange/New Melling Bridge/New Melling Railway Station/ Melling Station walk bridge / Clearance of Pharazyn St and Marsden St and Stop bank work).

I pass no judgements on the work. My photos simply record what's happening.
Early blog posts are photo essays of the the demolition of Pharazyn St and Marsden St residential and industrial properties. Later photos are the more up to date records happening right now.
I'd welcome your feedback, especially with better information about what's happening, as there seems to be a number of sites specialising in their own work but not a comprehensive coordinated site with details and links.

Here's the link. Enjoy. www.riverlinkphotos.blogspot.com...
