I was home at the time & shudder to think my worst fear could be coming true. Dog fighting rings are prevalent in Christchurch & they target innocent fur babies for bait/training purposes. I've heards reports lately of suspicious behavior regarding dogs & dog thefts in the Hornby area. It seems these mongrels could now be scouting our area too! Please keep an eye out for anyone behaving suspiciously around homes with dogs & ensure your dogs are secured safely at all times. Have also read stories of fighting dogs being thrown over fences to attack a dog in it's own territory then simply let out once the damage is done. Report anything necessary to the Police and be sure to talk to your neighbors too.

Heading along to tonight's Sparks event? Help the planet while you're at it – Christchurch is trialling compostable packaging for the food and drink available at Sparks this year – which means a lot less waste for the landfill.

If it's brown - it will break down.
Look for the ECO symbol and put it in the green bin.
All other packaging goes into the red bin.

The ECO symbol means "Event Compostable Only" – make sure you bin it at the event, and not at home.
