Poll: Would you rehome a dog to reduce stress?
Hi neighbours! An Auckland blogger has written about rehoming her family dog Sai to reduce stress. The blogger, Abby Plested, says now expecting their third child, the couple was unable to take care of the dog. The SPCA says it's fairly common for dogs to be surrendered to the SPCA when they are adolescents, but warns people against adopting a dog without considering how their family environment might change in their pet's lifetime. What are your thoughts on this? Have you had to rehome a pet? Let us know in our poll below! If commenting, please write NFP if you do not want your opinions published.

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?
