Poll: Man traps cats in backyard to save his birds

Matt Bowen Reporter from Waikato Times

Morning neighbours,

Phil Evan's anti-cat tactics are proving to be a divisive topic with people voicing strong opinions on both sides of the debate.

Evans has taken to trapping cats in his backyard, soaking them then shooting them off his property with a hose jet so they don't return.

What's your take on other people's cats roaming through backyards? Is Evans justified in protecting his property? And do you think something needs to be done at council level to address the issue?

NOTE: Please refrain from personal attacks in comments - play the ball and not the man. Also put NFP in your comment if you do not want it to be reported in the Times.

Looking for Flat Top Grill

In order to improve efficiency in cooking the flatbread pieces, I would need a flat top grill like the one pictured here. I can't seem to find a suitable one that is priced sensibly in NZ (for example, the one pictured costs around US$600+ but is not available here). I'm wondering if any one of you knowledgeable folks can suggest where I should look for this?

I am aware of the upmarket ones that cost more than $1,000 (typically in the range of $3,000+ and above) but that is beyond what I'd like to invest at this stage.
