Kelmarna Garden Cows
*Update* Cows are now off to a sanctuary thanks to community efforts to rehome them at the 11th hour (see post above)
Hi wonderful people of Ponsonby and beyond. Some of you may know, but the Kelmarna Organic gardens have had 3 grazing cows (steers) on their land. They have been there for a couple of yesrs now (gifted to the gardens - and named as well). They are a local delight to the inner city children and community (I know, because my kids adore them). The gardens have decided to sell them off as "meat packs". It all leaves a very bad taste in the mouth (excuse the pun), for animals that are seemingly pets.
Just was wondering if anyone knows whatould be the best approach to help petition against this.
All for sustainable practices....just this seems rather alarming (the gardens Facebook page has caused quite a stir too).
