Please - Stop panic buying/Hoarding
Just something for the panic buyers/hoarders to think about.
Of your 100 rolls of toilet paper, how many does your elderly neighbour have that can only get out 1 time a week? They won't find any on the shelf. I'm sure you can spare a 4 pack.
Of your 15 bottles of hand sanitiser, did you think about that cancer patient who has a compromised immune system or did you leave a few or give them some?
Of your 100 frozen $1 pies did you consider the single parent that now has to feed their kids an extra meal or snack? Or will you make it for them and deliver it?
Of your 30 packs of baby wipes, and 6 tins of formula, what is the new mother to use? I hope you listen if someone says they are out or to the grandparents that just don't have that stuff laying around.
YOU SEE, YOUR HOARDING IS HELPING NO ONE.
Step back a moment and think about the next person who can't buy it because they are waiting on the next paycheck, waiting for a ride, or just can't get to the store.
If you are the hoarder of disaster, help someone who's life might be already shaken.
stole this from a friends news feed! its pretty powerful!

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
