Support SPCA with Treat Week this September!
Join us next week from Monday 26 September for SPCA Treat Week, the sweetest event of the year! With your help, we’ll raise vital funds and awareness for our furry (and non-furry!) friends and have a whole lot of fun doing it.
Treat Week is an evolution of SPCA's traditional Cupcake Day (why not have a whole week of treats?) and we’d love for you to celebrate it your way. Raise funds by hosting a morning tea with your friends, treating your pets to something special, or selling your own delicious creations! Best of all, you will be making a real impact, as every dollar raised helps SPCA rehabilitate animals to give them a second chance at life.
Sign up now and go into the draw to win some sweet, sweet rewards like kitchen appliances or a special edition SPCA reusable cup! Together, let’s help make animal lives a little sweeter! treatweek.spca.nz...
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
