Glyphosate aka Roundup

Karen from Totara Vale

Has anyone else had the same misfortune as I have had with cancer in your dogs?
In the 23 years I have lived in Totara Vale I have lost 3 dogs to lymphoma. All girls and all 5 years old when they died.
I have discovered that the council sprays our park with glyphosate 4 times a year without warning aside from on their website. The contractor puts a sign up for the 30 minutes or so that it takes him to spray.
When I called the council call centre I was told that it was safe to walk my dog in our park that same day. My vet said leave it at least 7 days and preferably after rain.
Ventia were there yesterday using weed eaters which pleased me no end and when I called the council they said they were using 'mechanical' means in our ward (Kaipatiki) but when I called a local councilor I was told they are still using Roundup as well. Not happy.
