Loose Dogs

Peter from Waimairi Beach

RIP George. We were camping this weekend. 2am Saturday morning Ben, my step son who is staying at our house for the weekend phoned to say George had been attacked by 2 dogs who came up our drive. We raced home and got him to the vets but sadly he died. We are so upset. The dogs are at the pound. They were both chipped so the owners got a note in there letter box saying they were both at the pound. They can not get them back until there has been a full investigation. They are registered as French Bull Mastiff and not classed as a dangerous bread, that is a joke. They came back to finish our George off. When Ben tried to stop them they had a go at him. I don't think the owners will get anything done to them apart from maybe have to pay our vet costs. All we want is our George back. RIP George. It was a short life but a loved one.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
