Outstanding local animal control team effort to celebrate
7 year old husky type impounded with grossly infected eyes from entropia of top and bottom lashes in both eyes. 7 years of pain and discomfort. Best thing that could have happened to her was find her way into the pound... because... thanks to the big hearts at the pound, funds have been raised to get her the surgery she desperately needs so she can start life fresh with new and improved eyes.
See plenty of bad press about pounds around the country so let's level the playing field with a good news story.
She will need a suitably fabulous home post surgery so any prospective home offers need to go to Amanda D at Waikato District Council pound team - 078248633 or 0800492452
Kudos to the team, they do a fab and unenviable job in our community.
Plenty of dogs and pups needing homes in pounds and rescues that support them - so adopt don't shop and stop unnecessary breeding. 💕
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.

Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?
More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.
Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
