"I was suspicious of the establishment at the time. You need to understand, I had grown up a welfare-dependent "half-caste" (I hate that term) boy living with his mother, escaping from a life of alcohol, crime and a level of violence that I would not tolerate for my daughters. An under-achiever, I was expelled from two secondary schools. I feel I had a reason to be angry at "the system".
"Then I became a father. It changed my life. I needed to be a responsible adult caring for a son, then a daughter – eventually seven children. We were young parents and wanted to do only the best for these precious beings.
"I read the pamphlet. It described "studies" in the Netherlands into communities that didn't look like mine, but I took little persuasion. I stated our second child, our little daughter Te Miringa, would not be immunised.
"At the time my wife Tracy was working as a nurse at the local medical centre and immunising children daily. Yet this was my protest against the establishment that I so mistrusted.
"Fifteen months later, we had a scare. Te Miringa became unwell with high fever and a body rash and the doctors were concerned as there was a measles outbreak locally. And I realised the information from the Netherlands did not reflect my reality.
"We got Te Miringa immunised."

Kudos to fab locals who spotted them scavenging rubbish roadside and responded. Despite efforts last night, even in wind and rain in the dark, pups weren't successfully retrieved until this morning. Super responsive community people (plural) caring enough to make someone else's pups a priority.
Now safe from the perils of stormy weather, no food source, traffic and a likely tragic demise.
Someone is responsible for these pups. A mum dog out there who undoubtedly needs desex.
Instead of dumping pups to fend for themselves - there is a drop
box by the council pound where they can be safe and secure at the very least. People - if you don't want the responsibility of pups, desex! If you have an accidental litter, own it and take responsibility - do the right thing by pups and mum - which is not dumping roadside!
