Chickens stolen from Papatoetoe West school
Our four chickens were stolen at 11:40am yesterday Saturday 28th August. Two men have been arrested and claim they were asked to help a third man to rescue the chickens because he was a vegan and wanted to look after them himself. The men dropped this man off in Otahuhu but can not say where as they were given directions. Third man not named or found and has the chickens. They were still alive when the man was dropped off. Please help get the word out so we can get our beloved chickens returned home.
Description: 1x white with floppy red comb, 1x orange brown with floppy red comb over eyes, 2x grey and white speckled one slightly smaller than the other one.
Answer to Whitey, Mighty, Bluey and Tweety.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
